 Description of the problemAt the end of december 2013 i purchased a 2014 chevy cruze turbo diesel. Shortly after buying this vehicle i discovered there as a problem with the excessive torque and the braking system and hair trigger brake release. When releasing the brake this car would leap forward in an unsafe manner. This would happen when releasing the brake slightly. Releasing the brake a quarter of an inch or less was sufficient. I am not talking about my foot slipping off the brake pedal. The high rpm's and torque is not a good match with this particular automatic transmission. I am sure a standard transmission would be a better match. After my car jumped out into a major street and almost caused an accident i took my vehicle to my local dealership. The dealership examined my car and came up with the bellowing results: brakes feel normal for vehicle. 4 wheel disc and has electric vacuum pump. No repairs required at this time. Idle normal for present time, ecm will rise idle at certain time like cold start compensate for battery draw of glow plugs?. By the way the above incident occurred when the car was normal operating temperature. As a result i immediately traded this vehicle (1500 miles were on the odometer) for a different brand. It would be nice if your engineers could look into this matter to avoid future incidents with other chevy cruz owners. I am very concerned over the safety of this vehicle. Thanks
