Dont have a link to the TSB at the moment if someone wants to link it. But a Dealership stop sale has been ordered on 2013-2014 Cruzes for possible defective driver side airbag component. Hopefully more details soon.

Was visiting another form when I saw this:

Just in case GM Cars are affected by the air bag issues the 7 other makes are having to deal with right now.

Yep, you can delete my post when you merge as it won't make sense anymore.

Yes of course. As a sales person who's job it is to sell cars...clearly it makes sense for me to lie about it so people won't come buy them.

For some reason I never thought about finding a printoff of the dealership email when I had half a dozen people calling me a liar on my post about the subject.

So if bought a 14 3 days before stop sale order should I call dealer? Or will I get a letter in the mail?

From what I've read today on this issue, it appears that the Cruze stop sell order is different from the air bag recalls all of the other brands are involved with so far. The common denominator is the air bag supplier, Takata. This Japanese headquartered company seems to have a ton of problems.

First, the Cruze issue is related to an incorrect part that was used to assemble the airbag. This is what I posted in post number 16 of this thread. I am not sure why it took nearly a year for the stop sell order to come out, but I think I have an idea.

Second, the other brands air bag problems are related to the propellant breaking down due to high humidity, either at the time of manufacture, or where the vehicle resides now. They aren't sure what the cause is yet. Takata builds the air bag assemblies in Mexico and Wisconsin.

Third, Takata's bookkeeping is so bad, both they and the car manufacturers are not really sure what VINs got the bad batches of air bags with the problematic propellant.

Fourth, For the same reasons, they are still trying to figure out which Cruze VINs got the air bags with the wrong part.

I guess the answer is the same for all of the other issues that haven't been fixed yet: PATIENCE.

The developed countries have more stringent consumer protection laws and thus more recalls. If you are driving a Cruze in Syria or Sudan you probably have more urgent hazards than an airbag injury.

Sad some people don't understand the concept of company intranets and not being able to post "Links", or seeing a paper memo.

Looks like the Stop Sale was lifted late last night.

Youngstown News, GM lifts sales stall on '13, '14 Cruzes

Several other sources are posting the same information regarding the lift around 11PM 6/25.

2 hrs ago Fox 8 Cleveland said it's still on. Our Fox 8 is not as extreme as the typical Fox network.

Still more media talk from today, 06/26/14. Can Chevy Customer Care folks here post the real status of the Cruze Stop-Sell issue?

I bet you get a recall notice in the mail.

Well then I don't feel so bad but I am sorry! It is always good to include a link when posting this type of serious info.

With all these recalls for 2013-2014 Cruze I hope they get taken care of before Chevy starts production on 2015 Cruze.
