Description of the problem	I purchased a 2012 chevy cruze 2lt w/rs package on 9/19/12. I didn't notice right away but after i drove for a few days i notice the engine would have this loud vibration when i barely accelerate, like staying at a steady speed. If i accelerate from a stopped position it doesn't do it or i just don't hear it because i hear the turbo. After driving it a few weeks the vibration sound has gotten worse, so i took it to the dealership to be checked. They test drove it and told me this is the way the echotech w/turbo motors sound and nothing was wrong with it. I wasn't satisfied so i asked i could test drive another car just like mine on their lot. They graciously let me and it sounded the same. My sons girlfriend has the exact same car and hers sounds nothing like mine. She bought hers at a different dealership which means it was probably came from a different manufacturer. Something isn't right and this should be fixed. This does not sound like a new car. It's very embarrassing. My 1995 chevy cavalier is not as loud as my new car. Another thing is when i slow down to pull in my driveway (on a hill) i just let off the gas and the car will jerk really hard. This doesn't happen all the time but this will be an issue i'm sure when the warranty is up. I'm very disappointed with my first new car purchase. I waited 42 years for this.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
