Please look this up. I also have a 2016 chevy cruze and have been fighting to get something done due to this same issue. Please call the GM corporate offices and complain as well file with the NHTSA and BBB if need be. They have blown me off and don't care to help. Below is the PIP bulletin for this. https://gm.oemdtc.com/7914/pip5507b-st…

Automatic transmission, stalls

Chevrolet Cruze 2012
I have a Chevrolet Cruze and I would like to share all its problems: the calipers are distorted which is a really dangerous problem if you do not notice it on time, the automatic transmission locks in 3rd or 5th gears and even the engine stalls when driving.

Engine Vibrates and Sometimes Stalls on Cold Start

Chevrolet Cruze 2013 1.4 Tubo AT 246000 miles
Hello All,

When starting the engine in cold conditions, it vibrates and sometimes stalls. Occasionally, steam comes from the turbo area, which smells like antifreeze. After the engine warms up, it runs smoothly, and no steam appears.
Thank you in advance

The car stalls after being stopped at a red light

Chevrolet Cruze 2017 Premier hatchback  80250 miles
I guess it has something to do with the start/stop system cuz when I'm stopped at a red light and I go to push the gas so when it goes to turn on it stalls out so I've been driving in the L gear L6 to be exact... because I find out that's like kind of like a manual it doesn't use the start/stop system so I don't have to sit there at a red light with cars behind me trying to turn my car back on so I can go instead of blocking everyone I hate this car

Bruce from United States 4 years ago
The issue you're describing with your 2011 Chevrolet Cruze could potentially be caused by a faulty oxygen (O2) sensor or camshaft sensor. The O2 sensor is responsible for monitoring the amount of unburned oxygen in the exhaust and adjusting the air-fuel mixture accordingly. If the O2 sensor is not functioning properly, it can cause a decrease in fuel efficiency and potentially result in the car stalling. Similarly, the camshaft sensor provides information about the position of the camshaft to the engine control module, and if this information is not accurate, it can result in a loss of power and stalling.
To determine the root cause of the issue, I would recommend having the vehicle scanned using a diagnostic code reader. This will retrieve any stored trouble codes in the engine control module, which will provide further information about what may be causing the problem.

Engine noise SolvedSolved

Chevrolet Cruze 2013  42200 miles
When driving and I suddenly stop accelerating, a "clack" noise starts to be heard coming from the engine. When braking, the noise disappears. I personally believe it has something to do with the gearbox or the clutch, as when I press it the noise does not go away. Hope someone can give me a hand. Thanks.

Your car's problem is the flywheel. This has already happened twice to me.

does a flywheel makes a vehicle to loose power?

Chevrolet Cruze 2012 Hatchback  60000 miles
Hello

I bought a Holden cruze turbo diesel 2012 6 speed manual transmission (same engine as Chevrolet cruze).
My car shakes back and forth between 1500-2000RPM, sometimes late response or no power when I accelerate, or accelerates alone when I use the accelerator. Code 84, DPF, engine lights flashing

Have you ever encountered these problems?

ECM module failure

Chevrolet Cruze 2012  65000 miles
After cleaning the bodywork and car engine and driving for 2 km, the car suddenly stalled. After many attempts of pressing the Start button, it finally did. It then remained off for an hour or so and, when I tried to start the engine again, it did not want to. It was only after the fifth time that it started, worked for no more than 3 km and stalled. Since then it has never started again. I was told the computer is burnt. Has someone got the electrical diagram of the ECM module?

The same happened to me and, after buying a new computer, it worked properly for several months. However, some codes are now starting to appear and no one knows why.
iva from United States 11 years ago
I have also replaced my computer and it's been 8 months since that and I have not yet had any inconveniences. You need to make sure that the computer they give to you is a new one.

HI may i ask how much it cost to replace the computer as i have the same problems

The car doesn't start at cold weather

Chevrolet Cruze 2013 Hatchback 80000 miles
Hi! I have a Chevrolet Cruze J305 Diesel-2013. The car doesn't start at cold weather. I went to a service and they checked the spark plugs and it seem to be fine. They changed the car relay, the temperature sensor, the battery, water pump, the diesel filtre. The problem is still there. Is there anyone who had this problem? What can I do? Thanks.

If it's a diesel and they charged you to change the spark plugs then you need to find another shop to go to and I would also get a lawyer. Diesels do not have spark plugs. They have glow plugs. If your glow plugs are bad then that's why your car will not start in cold weather. Glow plugs preheat the cylinders so the combustion process is easier. It will still run with bad glow plugs. It will only be harder to start if bad.

Chevrolet Cruze 2014 1.4 148000 miles
It just died one day then nothing it drains the batteries. I changed the fuse box and i get nothing before hand not one sound just lights not after changing the fuse box it only cranks no start. Also there's a squeaky sound while the engine cranks could it be a cam sensor or BCM or a timing issue? I need hell getting it to start.
