2015 Chevrolet Cruze

SINCE OWNING MY NEW 2015 CRUZE I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CONCERNS WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED OF FIXED BY THE TECHNICIANS THE LIST IS: WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD MY RADIO SYSTEM HAS BLACKED OUT; SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED ITSELF; IT HAPPENS EVERY OTHER TIME I AM IN THE CAR, SOMETIME IT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIME ON A LONG DRIVE. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCE DRIFTING OF THE CAR WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY; WHEN I CORRECT THE DRIFT THE STEERING WHEEL IS STIFF AND CAUSES AN OVER CORRECTION PULLING ME THE OTHER DIRECTION. THE BIGGEST CONCERN I HAVE EXPERIENCE LATELY IS THE LOUD HIGH PITCHED NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD; THIS OCCURS AFTER I HAVE PARKED THE CAR AND REMOVED THE KEY; ONE TIME I COULD HEAR THE COOLANT LINES GURGLING. VERY SCARY NOT KNOWING WHAT IS GOING ON UNDER THERE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN THE VEHICLE, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED. THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO A TELEPHONE POLE. THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE CAUGHT FIRE AND THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT EXTINGUISHED THE FIRE. THE ORIGIN OF THE FIRE WAS NOT DETERMINED. A FIRE REPORT WAS FILED. THE CONTACT SUSTAINED A CONTUSION TO THE CHEST. THE REAR PASSENGERS AND DRIVER SUSTAINED CONCUSSIONS TO THE HEAD. MEDICAL ATTENTION WAS REQUIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED AND TOWED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THIS COMPLAINT IS REGARDING 3 ISSUES SINCE MY VEHICLE PURCHASE MID APRIL OF THIS YEAR. THE VEHICLES MILEAGE AT PURCHASE WAS 7 MILES AND CURRENTLY HAS APPROX. 6100 MILES ON ODOMETER. THE 3 ISSUES ARE: #1) REGULARLY WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE AT APPROX. 45-50 MPH THERE IS A STEADY HUMMING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ON THE DRIVERS SIDE THAT LAST ABOUT 30-45 SECONDS. #2) ALSO WHILE DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN TRAFFIC AND COASTING WITHOUT PRESSING GAS OR BRAKE GOING APPROX. 5-10MPH THE ENGINE WILL SHUTTER AND CAUSE THE CAR TO SHAKE. THE ENGINE FEELS LIKE ITS GOING TO STALL BUT I ALWAYS PRESS THE GAS PETAL SO IT CONTINUES DRIVING WITHOUT STALLING SINCE I'M ALWAYS ON THE FREEWAY WHEN IT OCCURS #3) INVOLVES THE SAME OR SIMILAR DRIVING ENVIRONMENT AS ISSUE #2. THIS ISSUE OCCURS WHILE COASTING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS UNLIKE ISSUE #2 WHERE THE CAUSE FEELS LIKE IT COULD BE THE ENGINE THIS IS MORE LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING INTO DIFFERENT GEARS MOSTLY DOWNSHIFTING SINCE THE CAR SUDDENLY JERKS BACK AS THOUGH YOU SLAMMED ON YOUR BRAKES FOR A SECOND AND IT REGULARLY HAPPENS ONLY WHILE CAR IS COASTING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS WHICH I'M REGULARLY DOING SINCE I DRIVE DOWN THE CAJON PASS SITTING IN TRAFFIC EVERY DAY, WHILE COASTING IT HAPPENS ALMOST EVERY 90-120 SECONDS. ON 7/21 I CONTACTED MY DEALERSHIP AND RECEIVED A APPOINTMENT FOR 7/22 SINCE THESE ISSUES COULD CAUSE SOMETHING VERY SERIOUS TO HAPPEN TO MY WIFE OR MYSELF. THOUGH I HAVE NOT HAD MY CAR LOOKED AT BY MY DEALERSHIP YET, I STILL WANTED TO MAKE THIS REPORT TO INSURE THAT OTHER OWNERS ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE I'M FACING, AND THIS HOPEFULLY GETS INVESTIGATED THOROUGHLY (BY A THIRD PARTY) BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY INJURED IN A ACCIDENT.
