Cruze

  • 110,000 miles
I have a 2018 Cruze that I was driving on a 4 lane highway on top of a mountain, the brakes went out with me and my 6 month old in car, I was able to get to shoulder, towed to Chevy, they said it was a faulty brake pump, and charged me 500 to fix it. Then less than 2 weeks later, same mountain, same thing, towed to the same Chevy, they said that the replacement pump had exploded and it was caused by engine piston issues, and want 5 grand to fix it. I believe that Chevy broke the car the first time and besides the fact, exploding brake pumps, 2 in a row is very scary. Luckily me and my child are still alive to be complaining about it, but we seriously came very close to being killed by these faulty brakes twice. I don't know if they lied about the repair or if it really is two exploding brake pumps in a row, but either way, these exploding brakes pumps are going to kill someone and it was almost me and my 6 month old baby. The Chevrolet dealer is auto nation in valencia ca.

Cruze

  • 32,460 miles
I backed out of my icy driveway and onto the clear, dry road. Set my cruise control to 48mph and after about 30 seconds, my traction control and service engine lights came on with an error message that said "service stabilitrak" and my cruise control turned off. I closed the stabilitrak message, the traction control light turned off after about 30 seconds, and the service engine light turned off shortly after. But my cruise control still wont engage. I've turned the vehicle off and on and it still isnt working. It seems that a lot of different GM vehicles have experienced this problem, and the dealership has fixed it in several different ways. I read on a forum that someone had the issue and the GM dealership said there was an issue with the amount of ethanol in the gasoline. I happened to have filled up my tank the night before with regular unleaded from my local speedway. Not sure of that could have been connected.
