Bought it for my family. Currently went through 4 automatic transmissions before the warranty expired, at 60K miles. I’d go into the electronics, the engine and other crap but the main point is, ever since GM was bailed out, they’ve made their cars like crap and manipulate the public into thinking they make good vehicles. The only good things that they’re putting out are the 3/4 tonne and 1 tonne pickups with the Duramax. Everything else is electronic failures and transmission problems. Currently I’ve been enjoying my 2015 Ford F350, definitely doing what I need it to do, not break down. Never again GM, especially with that neglected sister as CEO.

Don't know if i got a bad one but bought my Chevy Cruze in May 2013 a month later had to have a new bumper put on noticed the other one popped apart from the frame, speaker had to be replaced, car started leaking under the dash onto the carpet when it would rain had to have a header put on, break light in rear window is very dirty and claim this is normal, rear bow tie popped off at the top had to be replaced and yes when i come to a stop my car jerks too. I don't like that the windshield wiper dispenser won't work when it is very cold outside but i guess that is expected. No light in the glove compartment. And sometimes there is a odor when you have the heat on.

This car was nothing but problems from day 1. I had the car for a total of 1 1/2 years before a dear ran out and wrote it off (Thank God) Its been in the shop for hail damage which isnt chevys fault. Then 2 months after getting the car I brought it in for an oil change and they said my engine seal was leaking so i brought it into the dealership and they fixed it. Not even 6 months later I was told it was leaking again. Then I drove to a store and the car was running perfect, I came out and started the car and it was fine, as soon as I put it in drive every light on the dash came on and it wouldnt move. I had it towed and the driver said that a previous thunder storm fried my computer. Wow..

1500 miles on my first new car EVER wish I would have read all the reviews about the transmission shifting problems. The car goes from 2 to 1 gear to the point it throws you forward GM that's the ways they are designed but I can test drive the other two new ones in there lot. I told them it sounds like you have two more headaches coming back. The door lock and unlock buttons are in the center console, what idiot decided after 50 years lets move the location? I trying to get GM to buy back we"ll see what happens I've owned all GM but that's about to change permanently! Not even close to 35 mpg more like 25 best so far was 28
