Vehicle was in motion going approx 35 mph uphill on residential road when it started vibrating and "service stabilitrak" light came on. Pulled over into gas station and shut car off. Sat for 2 minutes before turning back on. Service stabilitrak light remained on with some vibration. Merged onto highway and attempted to reach the speed limit of 65 mph. Cruze would not allow me to accelerate above 60 mph. Service breaks light came on and then got an alert stating that power steering had failed. Car basically shut itself down and I had trouble getting it to fully turn off. Steam/smoke then began coming out from under the hood and liquid from the car was all over the road. Towed to Chevy dealer where they discovered a hole in the engine block, otherwise known as a catastrophic failure. Car had 27K miles on it at the time. It was an extremely scary and dangerous ordeal.

When trying to accelerate quickly the vehicle feels like it's going to die out then the check engine light will come on, but after about 25-30miles it turns off. Mainly occurred when accelerating into the free way with an incline or uneven roadway

First the car shaked while we were waiting at a traffic light on a city street. Then we went to drive into a tunnel and I could not accelerate, we had to roll down the hill to keep moving. Then the brakes would not work properly. The car said service brake assist, I had to step very hard on the brake pedal repeatedly to try to stop the car from hitting the car in front of us. Once we stopped again the car seemed like it had died. I tried to accelerate by stepping fully on the pedal and nothing. Then I put the car in park and tried to turn off the car but that did not work either. It was not until the 3rd time of trying to turn the car off that the vehicle actually turned off. We were able to turn the car back on and at first nothing happened, but then the car started to work again. We found on google that I should not let the car go back into auto-stop in the hope that this would not occur again since we were getting on interstate 95.

Required me to put vehicle in park, then turn key so ignition was off then back on again, vehicle came back on with no issues and I drove away. Outside temperature was 109 F, and this occured at the end of my 25 mile drive home from work using mostly surface streets.

Bought my car in September and it was running fine. I live in Arizona and now that it's July it's very hot outside. I noticed about a month ago my car started stalling for a moment when I would try to accelerate on the freeway. And now it has randomly started stalling when stopped at a red light. When this happens I have to turn the car off and try to turn it back on (usually takes a couple times). There is no check engine light that ever comes on when this happens. I live about 33 miles away from my work so I drive quite a bit and it's gotten to the point where I don't feel safe driving it. There is no check light engine on ever so I can't take it into a repair shop.

I own a 2017 Cruze and bought it brand new. Had issues with the key fob working properly from the beginning and my engine light coming on for seemingly no reason. One of the times I was stopped at a red light after exiting the highway, my auto-stop engine kicked off and would not come back on when I released the break. My car would not turn off at all, I would push the power button, the car would turn off for half a second and then turn back on but my engine didn't come back on with it. I started rolling backwards and could not shift gears. A second time my engine light started flashing as I started to accelerate getting on the highway and a warning came up saying stabilizer. I had to pull over in the middle of the highway and turn my car off. My car has been taken to the dealer for service every time something happens and every time they tell me there are no codes and nothing they can do to fix it. I filed 2 different complaints with GM and was told they won't do anything without any codes because to them my car looks like it is functioning properly

I was sitting stationary in traffic when the light changed to green. I prepared to move, the auto stop kicked off and shut my car down. Nothing was on but all the lights on the dashboard. I had to shift into park and restart my car. This was the first time this has happened and it almost caused an accident since the car behind me was not aware that my car had just cut off. Now my car makes a jerk whenever I accelerate or come to a complete stop. Please look into this because this is a true safety hazard and will eventually cause an accident!

Safety issue is fuel economy under-performance. Fuel economy is overall 9%+,- 1% less than epa estimates under each respective driving condition, across all seasons, and now over 22250 miles driven. Experience with five prior and currently owned GM automobiles (2005, 2007, 2011, 2012, and 2018 models) is that we have always had fuel economy performance met or exceed the epa ratings, city/combined/highway. Both operators use cruise control under most driving conditions at speed of 25 mph or greater; and have been doing so since initial purchase of the 2017 Cruze hatchback premier rs in October 2017. Tires are kept inflated to 35lb N2 cold; top-tier rated gasoline is used for almost all refuelings. Multiple site visit/requests to two Chevrolet dealers and consumer complaints directly to Chevrolet executive customer assistance to address the underperformance have resulted in "no issue to resolve"/no faults found by diagnostic tests (fuel stoichiometry "normal"), Chevrolet customer assistance verbal communication with intermediate responses by phone or email, refusing to provide "closure" responses in writing, though requested. Fuel purchase/mileage record is at epa's fueleconomy.gov and fuelly.com, with estimates of city versus highway usage. Copies of fuel receipts are available upon request; extract of fuelly.com record is at attached pdf.

On several occasions while in traffic the engine shut down for the "auto start" and failed to restart upon releasing the brake. The car stalls completely out at which point I have to place the car in park and start it again before putting it in drive to proceed. While in traffic this is a terrible hazard as the first time it happened, the car behind me instinctively took off as the light changed and by me releasing the brake that indicated "go". in the another instance I was at a light located at the top of a slight hill when the same situation occurred and the same scenario had to be completed in order to get the car to move again. Extremely dangerous. This vehicle is a lemon.

The steering started moving up and in a locked position now the steering wheel and column will come only to your knees. I almost crashed the car when putting on the brakes because the steering wheel goes to the left. Not syre if the air bag will go off as needed.steering wheel when putting on the brake sends car moving to the left. The steering wheel is able to control it can be moved by just a little movement of your hand.

Was traveling approximately 62 mph I pressed the gas pedal to the floor and the power stopped from the engine and the transmission down shifted causing a loud thud noise in the dash board area. The vehicle never increased speed it dropped down to approximately 50 mph until I exited, upon exiting I came to a complete stop and restarted the vehicle. When accelerating the dash board now vibrated at approximately 5000 RPM. I took the vehicle to the dealer paddock Chevrolet. Driving in the vehicle with the service representative roland we were able to recreate the secondary vibration. The dealer said there are no codes for the loss of power. I left the vehicle at paddock and it is there now. GM has been non-responsive case # 8-3183509862. I have been in high-speed accidents before and am deeply afraid to drive this vehicle with out knowing why there was power loss and when it will happen again.
