MY CAR ACTS AS IF IT IS GOING TO STALL OUT AT 20MPH, IT IS AUTOMATIC AND THE CAR JERKS VIOLENTLY WHEN IN MOTION AND CAN BE ON AND OFF. MY FIRST CODE THAT POPPED UP WAS FOR A MISFIRE, THE SECOND FOR SERVICING THE TRACTION CONTROL SYSTEM. THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AND GOES OVER 15MPH. ONCE I GET TO THE DESIRED SPEED IT'LL STOP JERKING AS BAD BUT IF I SLOW DOWN A LITTLE AND SPEED BACK UP IT STARTS ALL OVER AGAIN AND DOES NOT FEEL LIKE PUSHING THE ACCELERATOR IS MAKING THE CAR MOVE AT ALL. I REPEATEDLY PRESS ON THE GAS AND LET GO TO TRY TO GET IT TO STOP BUT CONTINUE IN MOTION. IT HAS GOTTEN WORSE OVER THE WEEK AND I HAVE CHANGED THE SPARK PLUGS AND CHECKED FOR LEAKS.

I WAS CROSSING A HIGHWAY WHEN MY 2015 CHEVY CRUZE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY AND EXPERIENCED A LOSS IN POWER, THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT WAS THEN DISPLAYED ACROSS MY DASH, I MANAGED TO LIMP IT HOME AND THEN TOOK IT TO THE MECHANICS THE NEXT DAY. THE MECHANICS CHECKED THE CODES AND FOUND THAT, A ENGINE MISFIRE WAS DETECTED, THE FUEL INJECTOR CONTROL MOD WAS NOT AVAILABLE, OR THERE WAS A COMMUNICATION PROBLEM, THE ELECTRONIC BRAKE CONTROL LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE, THE DIGITAL RADIO RECEIVER CONTROLLER WAS NOT AVAILABLE, OR WAS EXPERIENCING A COMMUNICATION PROBLEM, AND THE INSTRUMENT CONTROL PANEL WAS DISPLAYING FAILURES IN AMBIENT AIR TEMPERATURE SENSOR CIRCUIT, AND LOST COMMUNICATION WITH THE HVAC CONTROL MODULE. IT TURNS OUT THAT DUE TO A MANUFACTURER ERROR (CHEVY/ GENERAL MOTORS) THAT THE CARS IGNITION COIL TOWERS HAD BURNED OFF ON CYLINDERS 2 & 4 AND HAD TAKEN OUT THE SPARK PLUGS AS WELL. SO DUE TO THIS MANUFACTURER ERROR, NOT ONLY WAS EVERYONE IN MY VEHICLE PLACED AT DANGER, BUT I ALSO HAD TO GET EVERYTHING REPLACED FOR A TOTAL OF $432.80 A COUPLE OF DAYS AFTER FINDING OUT I HAD BEEN LAYED OFF OF WORK.

ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) KEEPS GOING OUT. HAD TO REPLACE IT TWICE IN 1 YEAR AND POSSIBLY AGAIN SOON. THE CAR WOULD START, IT WOULD SHAKE A LITTLE BIT WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY, THE AC WOULD STOP WORKING AS WELL. IF I MADE FREQUENT STOPS (RUNNING ERRANDS) IT WOULD EVENTUALLY NOT START AGAIN. I WOULD HAVE TO LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO START AGAIN. DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THAT IT WAS THE ECM BUT CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT KEEPS BURNING OUT. SO FAR THE WARRANTY HAS COVERED THIS BUT NOW IT DOES NOT. THE CAR HAD 9000 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT.

THE FRONT CRANK SHAFT SEAL IS BAD. IT MAKES THE ENGINE MAKE A VERY LOUD CHIRPING NOISE WHEN IT WARMS UP. IF YOU PULL THE OIL DIPSTICK OUT IT STOPS. I'VE HAD TO KEEP MY DIPSTICK OUT SO THAT IT DOESN'T CHIRP. IT'S CAUSING OTHER ISSUES WITH CAR. LIKE STABILITY CONTROL, FUEL MILEAGE AND HAVING TO CHANGE OIL MORE OFTEN. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET IT FIXED BUT HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO. I'M AFRAID THAT IT IS DAMAGING THE ENGINE MORE THAN NECESSARY. FROM WHAT I'VE LEARNED CHEVY IS AWARE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CRUZE. BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO FIX THIS. SERVICE BULLETIN P11297B, 2-2015

DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVY CRUZE LTZ RS ON A ROAD TRIP MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON DUE TO A O2 SENSOR WHICH IS NO BIG DEAL, PLANNED ON REPLACING. BUT THE NEXT MORNING THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL CAME ON AND AFTER DOING RESEARCH ON THIS A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS SAME THING HAPPEN TO THEM. SOME SAY A FAULTY GROUND WIRE ON THE BATTERY AND OTHERS SAY THEY HAD TO REPLACE A BUNCH OF SENSORS ON THE CAR. IT SEEMS TO NOT BE RUNNING SMOOTHLY AND DON'T WANT TO CHANGE A BUNCH OF SENSORS AND CABLES UNNECESSARILY IF GM KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS LIKE A MANUFACTURER DEFECT. THERE SHOULD BE SOME KIND OF RECALL ON AT LEAST THE GROUND WIRE IF THAT IS THE PROBLEM.

I SAW THIS ISSUE REPORTED IN A GM BULLETIN HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2015/SB-10057574-8899.PDF BUT MY DEALERSHIP SAID MY CAR ISN'T AFFECTED EVEN THOUGH IT IS THAT YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL AND THE SAME EXACT THINGS ARE HAPPENING. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING, IT STARTED OFF ONCE OR TWICE A TRIP, NOW IT IS CONSTANTLY HAPPENING SO MUCH SO I CANNOT EVEN LISTEN TO MUSIC. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHEN I AM IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC.
