NHTSA Complaint #10521334 — 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE

THIS CAR EXHIBITS A HESITATION FROM A STOP AND ALSO CRUISING UPON ACCELERATION, A SYMPTOM I HAVE ALSO READ ABOUT IN SOME OF THE COMPLAINTS ALREADY FILED ON THE SITE. AS WITH MOST COMPLAINTS SUBMITTED TO THE DEALER THE TECHNICIAN SAID HE COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WHEN I TOOK IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT. AFTER TALKING TO A FEW CRUZE OWNERS ONE OF THEM SAID HE WAS TOLD THE PROBLEM WAS DUE TO " TURBO LAG ". THIS IS A PERIOD IN TIME THAT THE TURBO MOTOR MUST CATCH UP TO THE RPM'S OF THE ENGINE WHICH RESULTS IN THE HESITATION. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS WHEN TRYING TO ENTER A HIGHWAY OR MANEUVER OUT OF A CRITICAL SITUATION. GM MUST ACKNOWLEDGE THIS MALFUNCTION AND RECALL AFFECTED VEHICLES AND REPAIR THEM WHICH CAN BE DONE BY TWEEKING THE TURBO TO SYNC WITH THE ENGINE.
