General Motors has performed three tests at its Milford Proving Grounds yesterday evening to clear up an issue related to the quality of struts used in the Chevrolet Cruze. The issue, which is reported to be caused by a supplier, has resulted in the manufacturing suspension of the compact sedan at GM’s Lordstown Assembly in Ohio.
GM Authority has learned that the results of the three tests were unsatisfactory, resulting in a prolonging of the manufacturing suspension of the Cruze. We’ve been told by sources familiar with the situation that the issue is explained as the presence of excessive road noise in low-speed conditions.
As of this writing, there have been no updates on what GM plans to do next in solving the problem and resuming production.
Stay glued to GM Authority for the latest updates on this situation.

GM an easy fix would be to add some rubber isolation pads between the body and the top of the strut where it mounts to the body. Do an old Honda trick, use lots of rubber in the suspension! The cost of the extra rubber would surely out weight the lost $$ in down time and lost sales!
