2013 Chevrolet Cruze

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. *TR

I HAD THE VEHICLE SERVICED FOR OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION ON MAY 25. A FEW DAYS LATER, APPROXIMATELY JUNE 1, I NOTICED THE VEHICLE WAS VERY HARD TO STOP WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY (HAD TO PUSH DOWN VERY HARD ON THE BRAKES WHICH DID NOT SEEM TO GO TO THE FLOOR). I ALSO NOTICED THAT WHILE I WAS STOPPED AT RED LIGHTS OR BEHIND OTHER VEHICLES THE CAR WOULD LUNGE FORWARD--NOT ENOUGH TO HIT SOMEONE BECAUSE I NOTICED IT AS SOON AS IT HAPPENED. ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, JEFF WYLER CHEVROLET EASTGATE, AND ADVISED THEM OF THE PROBLEM. SOMEONE TEST DROVE THE CAR WITH ME IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, AND HE INFORMED ME THAT HE COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. I DO NOT KNOW IF HE CHECKED ANYTHING ELSE WHILE I WAS IN THE WAITING ROOM. AT MY REQUEST, HE PROVIDED ME WITH A PRINTOUT DOCUMENTING THE VISIT. ON JULY 7, 2013, WHILE MY DAUGHTER WAS PULLING THE VEHICLE INTO OUR GARAGE, THE BRAKES FAILED AND SHE HIT MY GRANDDAUGHTER BICYCLE WHICH, IN TURN, WENT THROUGH THE DRYWALL AT THE END OF THE GARAGE. I HAVE FOUR CHILDREN LIVING AT THE HOUSE INCLUDING AN 8 AND 10 YEAR OLD. THERE IS ALSO A SIGN ON OUR STREET INDICATING A DEAF CHILD LIVES ON THE STREET (WE HAVE ONLY LIVED THERE SINCE NOV. 2012). WE ARE VERY FORTUNATE THAT A CHILD HAS NOT BEEN INJURED. THERE IS NO WAY TO ALERT THE DEAF CHILD THAT THE CAR IS COMING THEIR WAY SINCE THEY CANNOT HEAR THE HORN. *TR

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. *TR

I HAVE SEVERAL INCIDENTS THAT HAVE HAD OCCURRED IN A BRAND NEW 2013 CHEVY CRUZE WITH 7000 WHEN THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED.. 1) THE BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELS TOO FAR BEFORE THE BRAKES ENGAGE. 2) I WAS BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY AND HAD NO BRAKES. I PUSHED THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND THE BREAKS DIDN??T RESPOND. THE CAR KEPT ROLLING. I FEEL THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. I TOOK IT TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT 3 TIMES FOR THEM TO FIX IT. I HAD TO USE A LOAN CAR FOR 5 DAYS, AND WHEN I BROUGHT IT SEEMED LIKE THEY WOULDN'T BELIEVED WHAT I WAS SAYING. APPARENTLY THE PROBLEMS WAS FIXED, BUT A MONTH AND A HALF AFTER 3) AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE WAS EMITTED FROM THE VEHICLE WHEN ENGAGING THE BRAKE PEDAL. THE TECHNICIAN DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM; HOWEVER, HE WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A REMEDY REPAIR. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT AND HASN'T SOLVED THE ISSUE. AFTER 6 DAYS OF HAVING A LOAN CAR THE PROBLEM WAS NOT SOLVE. NEITHER THE MANAGERS OR CHEVROLET THE COMPANY HAVE HELP ME SOLVING THE PROBLEM. I THINK CHEVROLET IS HIDING THE FACT THERE IS AN ISSUE. I SEE A LOT OF OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE BRAKES ON CRUZETALK.COM. I AM STUDENT AND FULL TIME WORKER AND TRAVEL IN PARKWAYS ALL THE TIME AND I DON??T FELL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR ANYMORE. AFTER BRINGING MY CAR BACK 4 TIMES ALREADY AND LEAVING IT THERE FOR FEW DAYS I ASKED THE DEALER AND THE COMPANY TO GIVE ME MY MONEY BACK ON THE CAR. IT SEEMS LIKE IF THEY DON'T WANT TO DEAL WITH THE PROBLEM AND DON'T CARE ABOUT CUSTOMERS SAFETY. PLEASE HELP ME! *TR

BRAKE PEDAL TRAVELS TOO FAR BEFORE BRAKES ENGAGE. BRAKE PEDAL NEARLY TO FLOOR WHEN STOPPING AT ANY SPEED. DEALER DID NOT RESOLVE PROBLEM, SAID THERE WERE NO SERVICE BULLETINS REGARDING THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A BRAND NEW CAR. DEALER PLACED BRIGHT ORANGE STICKER IN DOORJAM WHICH STATES IF CAR IS IN ACCIDENT TO CALL THEM. I COULD NOT MAKE THIS UP! SEE MANY OTHER POSTS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. I WOULD LIKE THE MASTER BRAKE CYLINDER REPLACED ON ALL THESE COMPLAINTS OF SOFT BRAKE PEDALS ON NEW CARS. *TR
