The Chevy Cruze is definitely a lemon. I have been a mechanic for 12 years and have yet to see such a POS. I bought the car as a gas saver to commute to and from work (like everyone else). I was excited to buy a Chevy, also excited it was an economical 4cyl (my other vehicle is an F-150), but seriously... you NEED TO BE A MECHANIC to drive this car!! I may have racked on 100k miles since I bought it in 2016 but... Chevy... you have got to be kidding me...
Complaint #4:
I haven't discovered the source of this problem quite yet (all my funds are spent fixing other more significant problems). The steering wheel gets "clunky". The steering wheel gives a little in each direction and definitely causes some vibrations above 55mph. I think it is the electronic rack and pinion or the inner tie rods. I consider this normal wear and tear at 140k miles but on top of all the other problems... it just makes me hate the car more.
