SAFETY ISSUE, SO SCARY I AM AFRAID OF DRIVING IT NOW: THE GAS PEDAL HAS A DELAY IN IT AND SCARED ME TO DEATH SEVERAL TIMES, TRYING TO COME OUT OF A STOP LIGHT ON A BUSY INTERSECTION AS THE CAR HAD A 2-3 SECOND DELAY IN RESPONDING TO THE GAS PEDAL, AND THEN WHOOSHED OUT ON TOP OF INCOMING TRAFFIC!!! ON THE HIGHWAY IT HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES THAT CHANGING LANES BECOMES AN ISSUE AS THIS DELAY IN RESPONDING AND SUDDEN ACCELERATION ALMOST GOT ME INTO AN ACCIDENT LAST WEEK. I HAVE BOUGHT ALL THE WARRANTIES, EXTENDED WARRANTIES, AND TAKEN EXCELLENT CARE OF THE CAR. I HAVE HAD IT ONLY SINCE DECEMBER 10, 2013. WHEN I LEASED IT, I WAS TOLD IT HAD CRUISE CONTROL. IT HADN'T SO THEY HAD TO INSTALL IT FOR FREE. THE CAR DOES NOT COME WITH CRUISE CONTROL ?????!!!! WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR MAINTENANCE AND REVIEW OF THE ISSUE, THE MECHANIC FOUND THE SAME BEHAVIOR AND DEEMED IT AS "NORMAL" [???!!!] I TRACED MY TOYOTA COROLLA 2010, AND IT HAD CRUISE CONTROL! I SPOKE WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TRIED TO SELL ME ANOTHER CAR FOR MORE MONEY DOWN AND HIGHER MONTHLY PAYMENTS, WHEN I REFUSED AND THREATENED WITH WRITING TO GM AND THE ATTORNEY GENERAL, THEY SAID THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING IN THEIR HANDS AND SPEAK WITH THE REGIONAL REP FROM GM. I AM WAITING FOR THEIR RESPONSE. SINCERELY, NOW THAT I KNOW THIS, I WANT MY MONEY BACK THEN I STARTED INVESTIGATING AND FOUND A LOT OF COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME NATURE. THE CRUZES SHOULD BE ALL RECALLED AND MONEYS REFUNDED. I AM AFRAID OF DRIVING THAT CAR AND I WANT A REFUND. I WOULD RATHER LEASE FROM ANOTHER COMPANY. IF I ONLY KNEW THE TOTAL LACK OF RESPECT FOR HUMAN LIFE THAT THE GM EXECUTIVES HAD I WOULD HAVE NEVER LEASED A CHEVY. I DID NOT KNOW UNTIL A WEEK AGO THAT GM WAS RECALLING THOUSANDS OR POORLY MADE CARS! *JS

Consequence & remedy

14V372000 · Air Bags

Jun 26, 2014

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the driver's front air bag inflator may have been manufactured with an incorrect part.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's air bag, the air bag's inflator may rupture and the air bag may not inflate. The rupture could cause metal fragments to strike and potentially seriously injure the vehicle occupants. Additionally, if the air bag does not inflate, the driver is at an increased risk of injury.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver side air bag, free of charge. The recall began on June 28, 2014. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020. GM's number for this recall is 14305.

14V151000 · Power Train:axle Assembly:axle Shaft

Mar 31, 2014

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2013 and 2014 Chevrolet Cruze vehicles equipped with a 1.4L turbo engine, and manufactured between November 28, 2012, and March 7, 2014. On the affected vehicles, the right front half shaft may fracture and separate.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the half shaft fractures and separates while driving, the vehicle would lose power and coast to a stop. If a vehicle with a fractured half shaft is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could move unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy: GM will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the right half shaft, as needed, free of charge. Parts for the remedy are not currently available. GM will send an interim letter to owners in May 2014. A second owner letter will be mailed when parts are available. Owners may contact Chevrolet at 1-866-694-6546. GM's number for this recall is 14079. This is an expansion of recall 13V-452. NOTE: Some vehicles subject to this recall were subject to the recall campaign initiated in 2013. Some of those vehicles were repaired using defective parts. Those owners will be advised that they must have their vehicles remedied again under this campaign and that having the earlier recall completed did not remedy their vehicles.

14V092000 · Power Train:automatic Transmission

Feb 21, 2014

General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain model year 2014 Buick Regal, LaCrosse, Verano, and Enclave, and Chevrolet Impala, Malibu, Cruze, and Traverse, and GMC Acadia vehicles equipped with automatic transmissions. In the affected vehicles, the transmission shift cable adjuster may disengage from the transmission shift lever. As such, these vehicles do not conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 102, "Transmission Shift Lever Sequence, Starter Interlock, and Transmission Braking Effect." They also fail to conform to FMVSS number 114, "Theft Protection and Rollaway Prevention."

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If a vehicle's shift cable disengages from the transmission shift lever, a driver may be unable to shift gear positions and the indicated shift position may not represent the gear position the vehicle is in. Should a disengagement occur while the vehicle is being driven, when the driver goes to stop and park the vehicle, the driver may be able to shift the lever to the "PARK" position, but the vehicle transmission may not be in the "PARK" gear position. If the vehicle is not in the "PARK" position there is a risk the vehicle will roll away as the driver and other occupants exit the vehicle or anytime thereafter. A vehicle rollaway increases the risk of injury to exiting occupants and bystanders.

Remedy: General Motors will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace any affected transmission shift cable adjusters, free of charge. The recall began on April 10, 2014. Chevrolet owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-222-1020, Buick owners at 1-800-521-7300, and GMC owners at 1-800-462-8782. General Motors' number associated with this recall is 14048.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the half shaft fractures and separates while driving, the vehicle would lose power and coast to a stop. If a vehicle with a fractured half shaft is parked without the parking brake applied, the vehicle could move unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

Remedy: General Motors has notified owners. Dealers will replace the half shaft assembly, free of charge. The safety recall began on October 15, 2013. Owners may contact General Motors at 1-800-521-7300. This is General Motors campaign number 13276.
