NHTSA Complaint #10557327 — 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE

SUDDEN LOSS OF ENGINE POWER. THE FIRST OCCURRENCE HAPPENED EXITING A FAST MOVING EXPRESSWAY. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY STOPPED POWER AND THE CAR WAS REDUCED TO LESS THAN 5 MILES AN HOUR. THE CAR WAS PULLED TO THE SHOULDER AND TURNED OFF. EVENTUALLY AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR THE ENGINE WENT TO FULL POWER AND THE CAR REACHED ITS DESTINATION. THERE WAS SOME LUCK INVOLVED AS TRAFFIC WAS LIGHT. SINCE, THE LOSS OF POWER HAS HAPPENED FIVE MORE TIMES. AT LEAST ONE OCCURRENCE WAS VERY DANGEROUS - PULLING FROM A STOP SIGN ONTO A BUSY ROAD. I FEEL THAT THIS ISSUE MAKES THE CRUZE ONE OF THE MOST DANGEROUS CARS ON THE ROAD. THE ISSUE HAPPENS WITHOUT WARNING AND CAN HAPPEN AT 65 MILES AN HOUR OR FROM A STOP. I KNOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON WITH THIS ISSUE AND I AM UPSET THAT THIS HAS NOT BEEN ADDRESSED BY CHEVROLET. THANKS FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO VOICE MY CONCERN AND HOPEFULLY HELP OTHERS. *TR
