This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
When the vehicle is in drive and stopped either at a red light or stopping to make a turn the vehicle feels like it's moving forward (lunging forward) this occurs when the break is completely pressed down and the car is in drive. The RPM gage will flicker up and down as this is occurring. I have taking it to the dealer ship and they said they couldn't find anything wrong with my car. I feel this car is unsafe to drive because it might cause an accident one day. When it does this and im stopped at a red light I will have to put the car in neutral or park to get it to stop doing this. It doesn't happen all the time when im driving but it's occurring more commonly.
Best way to describe what happened was when I was sitting at the stop sign behind someone, with foot on the brake pedal, my car went forward about a foot or so, no gas acceleration from myself, I don't know if the gas was auto controlled, but I felt like I wasn't pushing on the brake enough even though I was, I did some investigating and I read online that other people have been having similar issues with their 2013 Chevy Cruze.
While at a stop, my car will lurch forward, like someone is pushing it from behind. Luckily I have my foot on the brake and it doesn't move forward. This has happened about 4 times this past month since I've had the car.
On April 27, 2013, while attempting to park my car I put the car in reverse gear and all of a sudden the car jerked in the reverse so hard that if a car was directed behind me parked I would have hit it and damaged both cars. Then, the car jerked forward when I switch gears to drive forward and then the car started making a loud clicking sound. Then before that! I had a problem on 4/19/2013 trying to reverse into another parking area and the car did pretty much the same things as it did on April 27th. Also, sometimes when I press on my brakes, coming to a full stop, the car will lounge forward while pressing on brake. This is very dangerous occurrences. I have not contact the dealer as of yet. But, I intend too asap. I have also checked for any recalls, and there are none yet as of 2013, but there are a couple of complaints only. 2012 Cruze had several airbag, and engine issues. Please advise! thank you
The contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while attempting to come to a complete stop with the brakes engaged, the vehicle lunged forward. The vehicle was taken to the dealer. The technician was unable to diagnose the failure. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 660 and the current mileage was 1,002.
