Problems with 2011 Chevrolet Cruze POWER TRAIN

The transmission in the car has trouble shifting into second gear. sometimes the engine will just rev up and will not actually accelerate.

We purchased a 2011 chevy cruz with less than 100k miles. in the 2 years we've had it we've replaced the transmission, oil cooler, and all the hoses. the furthest we've driven it is 400miles in a trip. we haven't taken it up mountains, and we keep up with maintenance

While driving, the car suddenly began jerking, acting like it was losing power. after turning off the main road onto a side street, tried to accelerate, but the car acted like it was in neutral. after letting off the accelerator, it went into 1st gear, but couldn't drive faster than 15-18 miles per hour. i had to have it towed.

It leaks motor oil everytime it gets changed,theres always a huge pile of oil on the ground, i can also move the gear shift without needing to press the brake pedal . overall its been a hassel to deal with it.

The car only has 123k and the transmission has gone out since day one this car has had issues, intake manifold replaced twice

While driving my 2011 chevrolet cruze lt when it gets t0 between 30-40 mph the rpms will go extremely high the check engine light will come on and the car will slow down as it is slowing down it will jerk into the lower gears if i don't put the car in neutral. since i don't have a reader for the check engine light i have to pull over and disconnect my battery to get that to shut off. i have to let my car engine/transmission cool down before driving again otherwise i will only make it eighth of a mile down the road and the same thing happens. i want this problem fixed. i officially hate my car because of this problem. makes me never want to buy a chevrolet again. i have seen may complaints of this happening to this year of car. this should be recalled and fixed free of charge.

Transmission issues in these cars and general motors only made them for one your knowingly there was an issue and don't want to recall the issue. these transmissions are super expensive due to only being made for one year.

Car seems to stall while driving (recurrent/ constant problem for 4 months: car has < 65k miles). engine/ loss of stabilitrack lights come on and engine revs high without speed. lights on radio blink and engine/oil/ coolant leaks. despite attempts to fix problems, car continues to stall out, leaving driver stranded in roadway. engine reboots are temporary fix, but the computer seems to be taking out systems 1 by 1. gm specialist had car for 2 weeks in january & could not solve.

I went and got this vehicle from chrysler dodge jeep ram of rome ga and i was driving and out of nowhere the car acted like it didn't want to go forward in traffic and the speed stayed on 0 and idled out on me. when i tried to turn right my car wouldn't go and somebody had to push my vehicle. when i tried to drive it, it was in drive and wouldn't go 20 mph. i got the vehicle march 13 and haven't had it for a month and experienced this.it was a very scary situation and i felt like i could have lost my life. i was trying to turn and put of nowhere it wouldn't go over 20 mph.most scariest sirtiation evrer..

When slowing to a stop from 2nd gear, the car shifts hard and jerks back when shifting down into first gear. often times, when accelerating from a stop, the car doesn't actually get power; the rpms jump to about 6000 and the car doesn't move. while driving, it feels like tension against the gas pedal while the car feels like it's dragging back and bogging down (the rpms don't indicate bogging, but that's what it feels like). when it finally catches a gear, it jerks backwards and almost feels like it's going to stall out.

I drove my 2011 chevrolet cruze to work without issue. upon leaving i started my my vehicle, put it in reverse and backed out of my parking spot but it would not drive forward. i had the vehicle towed to my home. the next day it would not start up entirely.

Engine light comes on and car will slow down and barely take off. engine is responding to gas pedal but no power in low gear so takes off very slow nearly resulting in wreck. two shops, including transmission shop, state its electronic problem including 'lack of communication'. it happens from being stationary or in process of driving when it loses power suddenly. when engine light goes off it runs ok. dangerous to drive as never know when it'll act up. started about six months ago, and is intermittent.

On my way to the beach i approached a stop sign near the entrance of a busy highway. after stopping i proceeded to press the gas pedal and all i got was engine revving the car didn't move at all. i tried shifting the gear from park back to drive and i tried again. the car still didn't move and i got revving again. something was wrong with the transmission causing the car to slip into neutral while being in drive. i returned the vehicle to park and turned it off, after waiting a few seconds i started the car up again put it in drive and i accelerated forward, i pulled into a nearby parking lot and eased my way into a space, before making it all the way into the space i lost gear again. i put the car in reverse and backed out of the space. put in back in drive and again didn't go forward, just revving. i ultimately parked the car and had it towed to a mechanic. 2011 chevrolet cruze are most commonly known to have transmission problems but there is no open recal. my cruze could have slipped into neutral while i was ...

Tamara recall: i am a former gm employee. i purchased a 2011 chevy cruze right after having it a few months i had a issue with the transmission. i've also have had trouble with the oil getting into the coolant reservoir. which has now happened thee times. the cost is ridiculous!!!! i just spent $1050 on that and a new water pump just to find out i'm still without a car because the transmission is right back doing the same thing again. the transmission is slipping and jerking. i feel like gm should be paying me back my money for this crap piece of car. i try hard to take care of my car but this is horrible!!!! i want my car fixed and i don't want to have to pay another dime. i loss my job because my car went out on me. i has to borrow the money to get the gasket job done again. i'm calling the dealership in the morning and if they don't do something about that transmission i am going to put general motors on blast!!!!

1. each time i get an oil change, the car smells like it's burning oil and it's really strong. 2. had to replace the gas cap as it became stripped causing engine light to come on. replaced with correct cap, light went out. filled call with fuel, light came back on, now showing codes.
