Default My Cruze is in problem, any idea??

Well friends, since couple of last days I am facing a new kind of problem, actually whenever I hit the break strongly I feel some kind of Jerk on the steering wheel with vibration and pulling back side, any idea behind it ??

It could be either the radius rod bushings or the strut bushings. Mostly, they are the causes for this problem. So, check it out with an automotive shop.

well friends I checked all the things as suggested by and found that the break pad is worn out and there is some kind of rust on the caliper also. So, Are these factors behind the jerk. Anyway, I have decided to replace the two.

Okay, I will send you a private message if I will have much time to look after it and thanks for your great idea as I was also thinking, I must once get the car serviced.

i'm so sick and tired of this car...our 2012 cruze lt [my wifes car i talked her into buying...bad idea} between the paint chipping issues and been repaired twice...now another new development pulling to the right without putting on brakes, normal driving, just had tires rotated {done at every 3000 miles}told by dealer could be time for a front end alignment. WHAT!! it has only 16,000 miles on it... come on brand new car!!! probably it's those cheap firestone tires they put on!!! anyone have this problem yet? it's getting to the point where i worry about my wife getting hurt on her way into work getting into an accident.

Oh its really bad to listen about you wife's accident, BTW is she fine now. I have never faced such kind of problem but let me go through some kind of search to resolve your issue. Good luck.

no, she has not got into an accident, but i do worry about it...brand new cars are not supposed to have all these problems. they are building them cheaper and cheaper if this continues there will be nothing left to them!! supposed to have bumper to bumper warranty but i don't see that happening i'm not paying for a front end alignment, or replacing struts, or tires replaced. it has only 16,000 miles on it. my wife is never buying a new car ever again regardless the make of the manufacturer.to me they are all JUNK!!
