Hello, this Sunday my 2013 Chevy Cruze while driving an alert came up saying that engine power reduced and other notices. The result was that the car lost power. Thankfully I was on a side street at the time at a slow speed. Most of my driving is on the highway and if this would have occurred at highway speeds which did occur to some people who posted on Chevy forums it could be fatal. GM will not acknowledge this issue and would not cover the cost to repair it. There are many discussions about this issue at this google search https://www.google.com/search?Q=Chevy+Cruze+throttle+body+reduced+power&oq=Chevy+Cruze+throttle+body&aqs=chrome.1.69I57J69I59J0L4.5323J0J7&sourceid=chrome&ie=utf-8 I feel like GM should take care of this and a recall should be issued so that this does not cause serious accidents for others.

In park at random times the service traction control and service stabilitrak light will come on. The car is real sluggish at take of, I can not leave a stop sign with a car any less than 40-50 car links away without fear of getting hit. When the speed finally starts to pick up it shifts rough at times. The car also feels like it is jumping when in drive and holding the brake.

I have taken my car in with the check engine light. They said it was due to a oil cap. I called and they informed me that they could not find anything wrong. Since then the engine light has been on and off and now the traction control light is on and the engine revs very high.

At first, I started the car one day and the engine light came up and as I tried to put the transmission in D the "D" light started flashing (not steady as normal) and there was some noise from the transmission. I put it back to "P" and turned the car off and started it again. Then it acted normally. Later on, it happened suddenly while I was driving (the transmission snapped and the "D" light started flashing). I took it to the dealer for diagnosis, and they found that the transmission control module (tcm) was defective. I searched online and found that there were many recalls on the tcm for 2012 & 2013 Chevy Cruze, but mine was not identified in those recalls as per the dealer. I was under the impression that GM will investigate the case and feed me back, but I found out today that they do not do investigations unless it comes from the NHTSA.

At random car will idle up and down and rpms will jump. This happens when just cranked and after driven and sitting still in idle. Also, at random when trying to crank the car it seems to get stuck and I will have to return the ignition in order to get the motor to fully turn over.

My transmission started slipping while driving to work on the highway at 70 mph. The car gave me 2 warnings, one for the traction control needing serviced and one for the transmission needing serviced. I drove the car to my dealer explained the problem to the dealer and stated that I didn't think I was going to make it to them. The dealership service center let the car sit for a few hours and then checked for codes and mysteriously could not find any problem. The problem always starts when the vehicle is going up hill, the transmission lights starts blinking, the car starts sputtering and I lose speed very unsafe in traffic! when sitting at a stop light with the brake pedal mashed to the floor the car lunges forward. I have searched online for similar problems and have found that many Cruze owners are having the same problem and GM refuses to help there does seem to be an associated recall but it doesn't state the transmission problem in the discription. (NHTSA 16V502000) power train:automatic transmission:control module (tcm, PCM). The service centers can't fix the problem because the car is not showing any codes when they check and I'm always sent home.

While accelerating on city streets, the transmission went into the fourth gear and hesitated to go any faster. I then stopped accelerating but then the transmission slammed into the third gear and revved high until I pushed on the brakes and the transmission slammed back into the fourth gear. This isn't the first occurrence. I haven't taken the vehicle to the dealership for servicing.

My 2013 Chevy Cruze almost got me in a really bad accident. It started when driving about 20 mph (transmission is in D) the car started to loose power felt like its stalling, RPM dropped then suddenly started going into reverse while the transmission is still on D I almost hit the car behind me. I stepped on my breaks and I put the transmission in park but the car surged forward in which I almost hit the car in front of me. I've taken this car several times to the dealership for transmission shifting problems but I felt that it was not completely fixed. The dealer always tells me that theres nothing wrong with the car. But now that I've almost hit 2 cars yesterday without any reason, I feel that the car is completely unsafe to drive and my wife even told me that she will never drive this car again. It's just sad to be having this many problems on a car with less than 50K milesyesterday my 2013 Chevy Cruze almost got me in a really bad accident.

Since purchase of the vehicle brand new in 2013, clutch has repeatedly smelled like burning clutch at random times while driving in 5th and 6th gear at highway speeds. The dealerships claim this is normal. At about 50K miles while driving on the freeway at 60mph in 6th gear for a period of about 30 minutes, I started smelling the clutch burning even though I wasn't shifting and didn't have my foot on the clutch. When it came time to exit the freeway and switch gears the clutch went to the floor and I couldn't shift into other gears. I had to pull over and take my car to the dealership by shifting when the gears synced. The dealership, keys Chevrolet, in van nuys, told me I was riding the clutch and caused it to melt and wouldn't listen to me about what really happened. My last vehicle was a 1997 VW jetta and I took the original clutch to 157K miles before trading in for this Chevy and the clutch was still good. I've been a valet for years and an auction coordinator, I don't ride the clutch and I can drive any vehicle professionally. The 2013 Chevy Cruze ls has problems. After looking on the cruzetalk forums, many members have found that the amount of transmission fluid Chevrolet puts into their transmissions, about 2 quarts, is not enough for 5th and 6th gear and they recommend putting in 2.5 quarts. Chevrolet denies there is a problem even though they caused my clutch to melt and cost me $1,800 to fix it.

Even with the clutch fully depressed, there is often grinding between gears, especially in 1st to 2nd gear. I've been experiencing this since at least around 5K miles and have told Chevy about it since then. They refused to inspect it. Also sometimes when driving on the highway up a hill in 4th, 5th, or 6th gear I will smell the clutch. Finally at 65K miles while drving on the freeway without my foot on the clutch, driving a smooth 65 mph for about 20 minutes, started smelling the clutch, then the clutch stopped working and would push to the floor and I couldn't change gears. The dealership said the clutch melted because I was riding the clutch. I can't believe they blamed it on me. I wasn't even using the clutch. It has always had problems since I bought the car brand new and nobody would listen to me.
