I was pulling out of the drive through window at mcdonalds and my purse hit the clutch. My car changed gears with just at a slight touch. It has done this before several times since I have owned it. Also my back tires never stay inflated. Every three days I am usually putting air in the tires.

Cruze

  • 3,500 miles
Left front tire slowly losing air. While 2011 Chevy Cruze was at matick Chevrolet for steering shaft recall (@ approx. 9000 miles) I requested that the service department inspect the left front tire for an air leak. I suggested it could be the internal air pressure sensor was slowly leaking. I work in the auto supply chain and I have heard of the pressure sensors leaking air. Dealership informed me that checked for air leaks in a water tank and could not find anything. The tire continues to lose approximately 5 psi over a 3 or 4 week period. Dealership did not offer to replace the sensor and told me some tires "just" leak air.
