A recall involving certain 2013-2014 Chevy Cruze cars has consumers questioning whether they could be driving a lemon. General Motors initially issued the recall in September 2013 and have recently expanded their campaign to include approximately 171,000 more vehicles. Due to the increased quantity in cars affected, the Law Offices of Delsack & Associates have received calls from concerned Cruze owners who say that their automobiles are unsafe to drive and have been sitting in a repair shop for 30-45 days with no ETA when parts will be available.
According to reports filed with the NHTSA, the interconnecting tubular bar on the front right axle half shaft may have been manufactured out of specification. If the shaft separates while the vehicle is moving, drivers will experience a loss of power. Also, if a vehicle with a fractured shaft is parked on an incline without the parking brake applied, it could unexpectedly roll away.
Vehicles which were subject to a similar recall, 13V-452 initiated in 2013, were repaired using defective parts. Those owners will be asked to return their vehicles to have repairs done, again.
If your 2014 Chevrolet Cruze has been experiencing repeated problems relating to its safety, use, or value, or it has been in a manufacturer approved repair facility for more than 30 days during the first 18 months or 18,000 miles; AND is still not repaired, you could be driving a lemon.
