Car Shakes at Idle
Slight vibrations or shaking can be expected when traveling over bumpy roads, but if the shaking is excessive there may be cause for alarm.

Smoke From The Engine
If you see smoke coming from the engine then it is a sign that your car is in critical condition. Drivers of the Chevy Cruze have reported issues with both the engine and the exhaust smoking profusely. Some smoke in cold weather is normal but this model of the car looks to have issues with the air-to-fuel ratio due to a bad fuel pressure regulator.
Rough Idle
Drivers have noted that this car shakes or vibrates on idle, particularly when the A/C is on. It is likely that this issue is down to a dirty throttle bottle or a damaged air control valve.
