2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE Engine Problems

Catalytic converters melted do to extreme engine temperatures no heat warning was given temperature gage never went off . Water pump has been replaced 4 times. Exhaust is now affected by melted catalytic converters.

A engine always seems to run hot smells like it's burning constantly leaks coolant even after repairing electrical problems reoccurring smells like weird chemicals inside of the car when you turn on smells like gasoline and coolant this occurs every day

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the door locks were opening and closing independently. The contact stated that the instrument cluster was also flashing several unknown warning lights. The contact stated that the heater and the A/C were also functioning independently. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent at first but became a constant failure. Additionally, the contact stated that the transmission occasionally slipped out of gear, almost causing the vehicle to stall, making the steering wheel difficult to turn. The contact had not taken the vehicle to a local dealer or independent mechanic to be diagnosed or repaired. The contact replaced the 12-Volt battery and the fuse box; however, the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 177,000.

Mileage: 177,000

My service lights keep popping on and start shaking etc.

I have this code p0324 and I replaced the whole knock sensor including the wiring with it and the code still pop up, my car is Chevy Cruze 2014 LTZ 1.4 L4 Turbo. Yesterday I went to dealer to program it and they did program the PCM and later in the evening, the check engine light pop up again with the same code but the car run fine. I seriously want to know what else can cause the issues!!

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while driving 55 MPH, the vehicle started to emit smoke from the head gasket and from underneath the hood. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact contacted the dealer, and the dealer informed the contact that the smoke was coming from the turbocharger. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed the vehicle with cylinder head failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 124,000.

N/A

ABS pump motor stuck X2 & is available for inspection. Brakes could potentially fail putting mine & other's safety at risk. Warning lamps were illuminated. This is the second time this has happened, pump motor was already replaced. There is a recall issued but not for my vehicle specifically. CAN BUS Communication issues.

My car caught fire driving down the road

Well like everyone car has this nasty cloud of black grey smoke Turns out i have a faulty catalytic converter. Not to mention the constant over heating. The change of the water pump thermostat multiple times. This is a nightmare. I drive with one eye on the road and the other on my needle gauge. I drive with my 2 kids and my biggest fear is catching fire. We inhale the smoke as we drive. Unfortunately this life is taking a toll on me. The stress of this car and always needing something is terrible. Get a new car right. Yeah if life was simple we wouldnt be struggling daily breathing in all thise chemicals.

My vehicle started leaking coolant from the water pump. Gargling noise coming from the engine and coolant smell is going inside the cabin which is a heath hazard to me and my family. We have been having headache all day. I have 3 kids and a baby in riding in this vehicle.

I am writing to submit a formal complaint regarding serious safety violations and malpractice by SLValley Chevrolet, along with accountability concerns with General Motors (GM). This complaint follows an existing case with the Utah Attorney General Consumer Protection Division (Complaint SR:9-1384660535) and highlights multiple incidents that compromise vehicle safety and public well-being. Summary of Issues: 1. **Electrical Issues and Unsafe Repairs**: I incurred substantial costs, including a recent invoice of **$2,210.72** dated **October 23, 2024**, for a supposed resolution Salt Lake Valley Chevrolet was supposed to have resvoled for an electrical issue. Despite this, the electrical problems remained unresolved, indicating a lack of professional workmanship and charges for servces not rendedered. Also additional time and money wasted. 2. **Damaged Oil Pan**: Salt Lake Valley Chevrolet caused damage to my oil pan, and they attempted to charge me **$866.00** for this damage. I believe this to be an unfair and unjust practice that reflects poorly on the integrity of their service. I authorized an oil change with the electrical issue and after service the car came home leakinig oil. They damaged the components. An oil change would not have been conducted had there been damage. The April invoice with this company will also show a previous oil change and at that time no issue. 3. **Continued Safety Hazards**: I paid **$531.12** on **September 23, 2024**, for a battery cable replacement, oil change, and tire rotation, which resulted in a new leaking oil issue and a flat tire. My vehicle broke down in traffic due to these unresolved problems, creating a potential accident hazard on the road. Tried to charge me for the damage they caused to oil pan and plug. 4. **Carcinogenic Smoke Exposure**: I faced severe health risks due to inhaling carcinogenic smoke following a service in **February 2024**. A leak at the turbo line feed was noted, and d

The car starts smoking upon acceleration and the engine light comes on. It also has a lot of oil on top of the engine. I took the car to an independent dealership and he stated the engine and gaskets are bad and this is a common problem with the 2014 Chevy Cruz. I've been told there was a recall and read online of a recall on the engine. However, I did not see a recall when I entered the VIN number on the national database. I need for a manufacturer representative to contact me as soon as possible to make this situation right.

My car smells like oil burning with white smoke .and the valve cover leaks and the head gasket is damaged I need help still an issue the air bag light on.this car is un safe.

Car continues to leak coolant

NOTE: 628 SAFETY COMPLAINTS has been submitted to the NHTSA. Major Complaints submitted by several consumers for the VIN: [XXX] ; 2014; CHEVROLET CRUZE and this vehicle has NOT been removed from circulation. This vehicle should be considered a SEVERE Safety Violation and removed from the road. My son-in-law purchased this vehicle for his daughter back in Aug 2023 and within the first week the car ran hot and couldn't be driven. The car was taken back to the dealer but the dealer refused to take it because there was no warranty added to the purchase. It has been sitting parked because we were told the engine was so bad it should be totally replaced. We're positive the dealer was well aware of the vehicles condition (there was NO visual indication) the vehicle was in such poor condition. The dealer even had an on site mechanic who assured the buyer that the car was in good condition but they both the (owner and mechanic) decided to take advantage selling the car anyway. Can you direct us to whom ever can assist us in getting help in resolving this issue. Regarding the following questions, I feel is irrelevant as all past 628 complaints has been submitted in your system.

The car would randomly stop working while driving. One of the times it stopped, it stopped while driving on the freeway.

So yesterday night I was at walmart and I had the car idling while putting stuff in the car the interior lights dimmed and there was a rattle that came from underneath the car right after the car stalled out twice, I had interior lights on but no power to the engine just sitting and once I started driving it didn't stall out on highway, but there is a possibility of this happening at a stop sign or traffic light, but again no check engine light, wondering if you can research into this? seems to be a reoccurring situation.

At [XXX] am on [XXX] the alarm sounded on my car that was parked beside my front porch. I was confused ; as I never locked my car and did not understand why my alarm would be going off. I opened the front door and the front of the car and underneath the engine was in flames. It was burning under the hood and burning and sparking behind the passenger side front tire It was very close to my home so I woke my son and we grabbed a few belongings and went out the back door. I was sure the fire would consume my car and our home. I immediately called 911 and the local fire department arrived and put it out but not before the windshield and all the tires exploded. This could have been deadly. There is absolutely no reason for my car to catch on fire. The police dept was notified and they reached out to me asking if I had full coverage insurance on my car that had burned. Unfortunately I did not. The car was paid for and I had liability insurance so I totally lost my car for an unknown reason. I looked for recalls , I called the Chevrolet company and asked if they could do an investigation but no they did not. There are recalls on earlier models of this car for combustion fires but not this model year. I wanted to sue the company as this was very traumatic and if this car had been in the garage it would have been a terrible disaster. I did not have time or money to spend on a lawsuit at the time I am writing this now because this needs to be on a public forum for other owners of this make and model car. I have lost trust in the Chevrolet company and will never ever buy another GM product. Two years later I still have no answers and nobody seemed to care that my car caught on fire for no reason in the early morning hours while we were sleeping during a rainy cold February morning and had not been driven since 9 pm the night before.

i have a feeling their is an issue with the head gasket for many reasons, smoke is coming out of the vehicle of the hood and has a burning smell to it. i checked online and it said some 2013 and 2014 versions of the Chevy cruze have been recalled due to not long lasting head gaskets, and i see how theirs no recalls on the vehicle but it seems theirs an issue with the head gasket and its a 2014 so im assuming this vehicle is a recall. i dont want anything serious to happen to this vehicle as this is my life and i need this car to goto my job and do the things i need to do.

PVC issue on 2014 Cruze. You need to include all years and VINs for this issue. Mine has been in the shop for 4 years straight trying to find the engine issue. It is always a PVC and engine runs rough. I can provide years of receipts trying to fix issue.

I have had a coolant leak issue with my car, which I bought brand new, multiple times. My mechanic has had to replace the water pump and or fix coolant issues multiple times. It happens every year around the same time. I called Chevrolet a couple years ago begging them to research for a recall. If you look online, there are multiple forums, webpages, and discussions of the same issue with the same make and model. Costing consumers hundreds and thousands of dollars for repairs, repeat repairs. Please address this! Chevrolet offers no help!

car lost power

Water pump constantly leaking through seap hole weather or not u get a new water pump or not can't get it to stop leaking .ac cut off due to heat engine .it will not stop dripping i have changed water pumps 3 times and it never has stopped dripping this has costed us alot of money and time if ww only new this we would have bought something else.we have been through 2 computers ecm ans a motor replaced this thing has been in the shop every year since we had this car once for 9 months

I’m reporting a engine failure in my 2014 Chevy Cruze due to anti-freeze leak I took my vehicle the the Jefferson Chevrolet dealership for repair and they charge me over $3,700 in repairs and then told I had engine failure now my vehicle sitting in the driveway non-repaired. Also being dealing with the dealership every since January 31, 2023

The exact scenario discussed in the 2015 NHTSA Service Bulletin No 14371B, also happened to my 2014 Chevrolet Cruze with a 1.8L engine rather than the 1.4L engine referenced. The original manufacturer water pump was confirmed to be the source of the coolant leak by an independent service center. The part is available for inspection upon request. No engine lights went off, I personally observed the leaking fluid on the ground because of the previous incident noted below. These repairs cost thousands and have done an unknown amount of damage to the engine. A previous coolant leak issue was identified 1 year prior with the thermostat housing. This caused a significant rise in the temperature of the car's engine, which ultimately led to the car being unsafe to drive as it would begin to overheat within minutes of beginning to drive. The warning sign "Engine Hot, AC Off" message appeared, the chiming sound was heard, and I was luckily able to pull into my driveway only 5 minutes later. If I had not been close to home, I would have been forced to pull off on the side of the interstate which is exceptionally unsafe and illegal. The alerts did not appear until the engine was on the brink of overheating. This was confirmed by an independent service center and the part is no longer in my possession.

On dash it says 1. engine overheated; idle engine 2. A/c off due to high engine temp 3. Fan will spin in high speed and stays on when you turn off the car

both cataltic converters are cracked. There was a recall on some 2014 chevy cruze for higher tempatures in exhaust that might cause this issue.

i believe it is the ignition switch, my car has been chugging or hesitating while driving and you can also feel it when you are sitting idling and while one the park position. i’ve also read that there are several others that own a cruze and have this issue. Sometimes as well you stick the key in the ignition and there is no connection no noise as like it’s trying to turn over you have to continue to turn the key off and on to finally get a connection and sometimes when you drive and then park and turn the key off the car tries to restart by it’s self. i believe these are issues that seriously need fixed by gm or chevy- no one should have to pay the price of a car for this to occur! i also do all recommended maintenance as suggested to my vehicle. i am taking the vehicle to be fixed on 5-9-23

I had tried to enter my address is in Canada not the states… I have had to fix my car couple times and issue has not been resolved as I would get a dashboard warning that the oil pressure is low and to turn off the vehicle. The coolant overheat to the point it’s boiling. There is a recall for this issue however not sure why this vehicle does not qualify as it’s a safety hazard

When I took my vehicle to the dealer on 2-24-23 they inform me my head gasket failed the my engine wasn’t any good due to overheating the coolant was leaking inside the engine. I took the vehicle to the dealer when antifreeze wouldn’t stay in the reservoir and white smoke from the exhaust and as 4-12-23 my vehicle is still at the dealer.

Air bags did not deploy in a serious wreck, also with the seat belts not properly securing. First week I bought it. It shut off on the interstate because it was overheating. Ac compressor was broke so it got replace. The fan motor does not spin right. When my air/heater is on my engine make a LOUD noise (since the day I bought it). Cooling system has been replaced 4 times. Overall terrible car and everything needs to be recalled on it. Not safe to drive.

Our 2014 Chevy Cruze is once again having the catalytic convertor fail. We took the car in on 12/04/19 as the maintenance light came on and the dealership said the catalytic convertor was failing and needed to be replaced otherwise it would damage the engine. We had it replaced with a "brand new" catalytic convertor at the Chevrolet dealership. Now we are being told by a different repair shop that the catalytic convertor is "failing again". The maintenance light came on about a week ago so we took it in to be diagnosed. Again catalytic convertor failing. This is very dangerous as our young daughter now drives that car and drives back and forth to college. Should this fail and cause the vehicle to stop on a busy highway this will put her and her passengers in grave danger. This is one of many online articles that state a catalytic convertor should last 10 years. If not properly replaced by Chevrolet then we will have to put on the 3rd part in less than 9 years: https://www.cars.com/articles/how-often-should-i-replace-my-catalytic-converter-1420683869829/ Chevrolet gives a 8-year/80,000 miles: https://www.cruzetalk.com/threads/8-year-80-000-mile-warranty.235259/ This is the second replacement of the same part, obviously GM part suppliers are installing sub-par and unsafe equipment on their vehicles.

The car was inspected the engine head gasket is failing

My vehicle had a leak in the turbo coolant return line also my vehicle ran hot so I couldn’t drive and cause me two days from work. I had the vehicle inspected by an independent service center. Coolant would leak on the ground.

I financed my car through drivetime in june 2019 and from the time i got the car i have been having electrical issues. My car has also been in a really bad accident prior to me purchasing it and when i tried to return it. They just kept telling me to go to pep boys because I had a 60 day warranty to fix any issues. I should not have had to take my car to any mechanic if I got it from a dealership. I now have really mad transmissin issues and I havent even had the car for 3 years. I believe this company sold me a lemon and i dont know how to prove it. I dont have the money to fix all the issues.

The car keeps overheating and it has been to the mechanic multiple times and the problem exist. If I get on the highway my transmission hot engine idle light comes on. I have had a transmission replaced and a lot of other things repaired and the issue continues

My car often loses power unexpectedly in the middle of a turn in an intersection and once while exiting a busy road. Twice it has died upon arrival at destinations and yet the battery has indicated when tested as fully charged. The key indicator is the radio system turns off for a second or two and then automatically restarts and the car with it. When this occurs the car is unable to be driven as the wheel will not turn. I have informed the local Chevy dealership near me and test was done with no error codes reported. What I have had to do is remove the battery cable and replace it and it seems to make the car work for a little longer until it starts the process again with the radio. I had work done to repair the window motor and that is when I first notified Chevy (I will have to locate the date). I have given permission for my friend to drive the car and he has seen this occur with the radio but did not notice if the car shut down.

my headgasket blow due to excessive overheating or other problems i’m not 100 percent sure. i’m not sure if my vehicle is available for inspection upon request. my head gasket blown on the highway, this is very unsafe due to cars around me going excessive speeds. chevrolet recalled some 2013/2014 cruze models due too problems with the head gasket. it’s UNKNOWN if my vehicle has been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others. right before my head gasket blown my engine light cut on.

I was sitting at a red light and my vehicle began to move forward with my foot on the brake. The vehicle began to increase in rpm's like i was pushing on the accelerator but i was not!! Later that day i went to the gm dealer to see what they could find and didn't find anything cause the computer had reset since i had shut the car off. Two days later the car did the exact same thing so i immediately drove to the car dealer. Told them how dangerous that was and i couldn't believe the car was acting like i was giving it more gas when i wasn't!! They hooked it up to the computer and found the problem this time. It had to do with a crack in my pollution canister. With that crack my computer thought my car needed more gas and would give it more gas. I can't believe they let a computer program give your car more gas and you have no control of it and without warning. The first time it did it i was not prepared for it and when the computer gave my car more gas it began to move into the intersection and almost caused a horrible accident. Since the dealer replaced the pollution canister i have not had any problems. I have warned everyone i know about what happened and to be prepared for it. It just amazes me that more people haven't been seriously hurt by this! Hopefully that crack that caused my problems doesn't happen to anyone else!!

My vehicle has under 80,000 miles and the catalytic converter is already bad. Its causing engine issues and the vehicle to jerk forward when stopped.

The car catalytic converter failed again. It failed once before in 2017. The dealer fixed it as it was under warranty and GM had a recall on it. There was a check engine light that came on. Took it to the Chevy dealer. It was diagnosed the the catalytic converter failed. To repair it the dealership is charging me $3600.00 for it. This should be a manufacturing defect as the same problem happened and should be covered by the manufacture. GM is aware of this problem and still do not want to address it.

Turbochager is malfunctioning. The engine could have seized and since its mostly highway driving to get anywhere that could be bad. The problem has been confirmed through a auto shop. Not inspected by anyone else. There are no warning lamps. Message was low oil. checked it and there was no oil in the car.

The turbo breaks on all of these cars. Mine caused damage to my transmission and I have spent two months trying to get it working but all of the turbos for sale or broken or break. Now I believe it has caused damage to the converter as the car consistently drops out of high gears and then revs at over 5000 RPMs refusing to upshift. I live in an area with hilly freeways and I have almost been in two accidents because my car can't go over 50 MPH uphill and that's if I was going faster before getting to the incline. If every turbo on this car breaks, causing these issues, why has there not been a recall? This is dangerous to everyone with these cars. Chevy needs to take responsibility to fix this issue.

The car overheats due to the water pump and coolant leaks .

car is hard to start after getting gas and transmission does not operate correctly to get up to speed from an intersection the engine revs to 7000 RPM to get up to 40MPH and several times coming close to being run into at times transmission did not work put shifter in drive accelerate and nothing suddenly transmission engaged and the car bolted forward

Failed catalyst converter due to hot exhaust overload.. cracked ceramic lining in catalyst.

I took my car into King Chevrolet last year around August. The car was overheating and the fan was running almost all the time. When they ran the diagnoses which I was charged 100 dollars for, they told me I had a loose plug. About 1 month after that, it started doing it again. I called the service department and was told I should get rid of the car as they are not that good of a vehicle by the service tech. I found the thermostat was broken and replaced it. It helped for a while then I noticed the check engine light and it was code p0420 which stated it was a bad catalytic converter. I noticed a recall in 2018 by GM, recall # 16186. I called them today and they said my car was not affected. It did affect 2014 chevy cruze according to the recall. They wanted me to bring it in to have it diagnosed again for 100 dollars. I have have the valve cover replaced twice as the pvc valve was defective. The car has 116,000 miles now and it had 96,000 when this started happening. I would like to know if they are telling the truth, or just trying to soak me for repairs.

The hose that carries the coolant constantly pops off and leaks coolant. I had it fixed in 2019 at a dealership when it first happened. It started happening again last year and it will over heat. A light in my car comes on saying things are shutting down in order to cool the vehicle. I cant afford to keep fixing it. I don't know why it keeps happening.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while driving at various highway speeds, the vehicle would independently enter into limp mode and downshift as the service traction control, service stabilitrak, reduced engine power, and the check engine warning lights were illuminated on the instrument panel. The vehicle would not shift out of first gear once the failure occurred. The contact had taken the vehicle to the dealer on multiple occasions and each time the dealer was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer had been notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 30,000.

While driving check engine light came on and car start losing power and not shifting correctly being close to home attempted to baby vehicle home. Car started to make strange noise immediately pulled over and shut car off. Had car towed to personal mechanic. The turbo has blown apart

The car suddenly lacked power and was making a strange noise. The oil level suddenly dropped. Then the engine light came on. We took the car to the dealer. And a few days later we received a letter from Chevrolet about extending the warranty on the PCV valve due to failure. We contacted our personal service person who confirmed that was inline with the PCV failure. We then took it to the Chevrolet dealer who said it would cost 9k to repair despite it being a known issue. This could have resulted in an accident if we had not caught it.

My 2014 Cruze has 55600 miles and started to make a ticking noise oil was checked no problem however there was no antifreeze/coolant so I added it. Less than a week later again I had NO antifreeze/coolant I saw that Chevy had a recall on some 2013 & 2014 chevy cruze’s head gasket. My VIN isn’t coming up. I feel after babying my car and servicing her religiously that the issue is the responsibility of the manufacturer.

My engine is making whistling sounds, the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV), is failing. This is causing my check engine light to flicker on and off. The diagnostic codes report that the turbo seal may be cracked due to this issue above.

OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS, I HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES OCCURRING. THE ENGINE OVERHEATS AND A MESSAGE THAT READS "A/C OFF HIGH ENGINE TEMP" APPEARS. THE HOSE WAS REPLACED, AND IT WAS OK FOR AWHILE, BUT THE PROBLEM HAS REOCCURRED TWICE MORE. THE ENGINE GASKET COVER HAD TO BE REPLACED AS WELL, AND LOOKS LIKE IT IS LEAKING AGAIN, AND OVER THE LAST 3 YEARS RANDOMLY, A MESSAGE WILL APPEAR THAT STATES TO SERVICE STABILTRAK. I'VE HAD A COIL PACK REPLACED AND THE MESSAGE WENT AWAY, BUT REAPPEARS EVERY NOW AND THEN, AND UPON START UP OF CAR MOST DAYS, RUNS VERY ROUGH AND I HAVE TO WAIT A MINUTE BEFORE PUTTING INTO GEAR.

VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER AND SHUT OFF IN MIDDLE OF DRIVING WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE OR SLOWING DOWN, THIS OCCURS ON HIGHWAY, AT STOPLIGHTS, DRIVE THROUGH, AND CITY STREETS WHILE STATIONARY AND IN MOTION. CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP CAN NOT FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. ECM HAS BEEN REPLACED BUT STILL EXPERIENCE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AS WELL. THIS IS BASICALLY A DEATH TRAP VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES WITH NO SOLUTION.

THE CAR WILL BE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR A STOP SIGN, THE CAR WILL BE IDLING FOR SECONDS START SHUDDERING THEN STALL OUT IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WILL TURN ON. WE THEN HAVE TO SHUT THE CAR OFF WITH THE KEY, CYCLE IT THEN TURN THE CAR BACK ON.

SEEMS TO BANG INTO GEAR WHEN DRIVING/PICKING UP SPEED. ACTS LIKE ENGINE STUMBLE. HAD PCV VALVE REPLACED UNDER RECALL DUE TO SQUEEKING NOISE.

I HAVE HAD THIS REPLACED 3 TIMES ALREADY AND IT JUST BLEW AGAIN. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED. I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 3 YEARS AND THIS IS THE 4TH TIME WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS COSTS ANYWHERE FROM $450 AND UP DEPENDING ON WHERE IT IS FIXED. UNACCEPTABLE. THE VALVE COVER GASKET BLOWS WHILE DRIVING. YOU NOTICE A CHANGE IN CAR POWER AND LACK OF ACCELERATION.

FAULTY PARTS HAVE CAUSED ISSUES WITH THE ENGINE, SUCH AS CONSTANT ENGINE TICKING, AND SQUEAKING WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND BELOW 1300RPM.

ONE SECOND I'LL BE GOING 70 MPH AND THE NEXT THE TACHOMETER SHOOTS UP TO PAST 4 AND 5. I'M SCARED THAT IT WILL BADLY EFFECT MY ENGINE GOING THAT FAST SINCE THIS HAS NOT HAPPENED BEFORR SO I HAVE TO TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE GAS FOR IT TO SLOW DONE AND 'CATCH UP' BEFORE I CAN ACCELERATE AGAIN. I HAVE BEEN INFORMED BY A CHEVROLET DEALERSHIP THIS IS DUE TO THE TURBO.

WHILST IM DRIVING SOME COME THINGS START TO HAPPEN; THE RADIO/ DASH STEREO WILL FLICKER ON AND OFF- ALL NOISE STOPS (ANY MUSIC OR BLINKERS), THE HEATER/ AC WIL STOP BLOWING IF IT IS ON. SOMETIMES WHEN THIS HAPPENS MY POWER STEERING WILL ALSO GO OUT, JERKING THE STEERING WHEEL WHILE IM DRIVING, AND HAPPENS ALOT WHEN IM TURNING (VERY SCARY). THE DASH WILL ALSO FLICKER WITH ABS, BRAKE, TRACTION, LIGHTS. SOME DAYS IT WILL HAPPEN VERY FREQUENTLY ,OTHER DAYS IT WILL ONLY HAPPEN A COUPLE TIMES. I AM UNCERTAIN WHAT I AM DOING THAT IS MAKING IT ACT THIS WAY. WHEN I AM AT A STOPLIGHT, OR DRIVE THRU AND THE SAME THING AS ABOVE HAPPENS MY ENGINE WILL SUDDENLY SHUT OFF WHILE MY WINDSHIELD WIPERS ACTIVATE OUT OF NO WHERE- VERY STARTLING (THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE MY GEAR SHIFT WAS IN PARK AND WHILE IM HOLDING THE BRAKE IN DRIVE). THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES AND WHILE IN DIFFERENT SITUATIONS, STATIONARY, IN MOTION, CITY STREET, HIGHWAY, TURNING, GOING STRAIGHT, BRAKING, NONE OF THIS HAS HAPPENED UNTIL A FEW MONTHS AGO. SOMETIMES WHEN I START MY CAR IN THE MORNING TO WARM I COME BACK OUTSIDE AND THEN ENGINE HAD SHUT ITSELF OFF. THE TRACTION DOES NOT SEEM LIKE IT IS GRIPPING TO THE ROAD VERY WELL, WINTER HAS JUST STARTED, AND I AM SCARED TO DRIVE IT. I AM GOING TO GET IT CHECKED OUT AT A CHEVY DEALERSHIP AS SOON AS I GET THE MONEY. I HAVE JUST NOW HAD THE CAR FOR A YEAR, MYSELF. THANK YOU.

ITS VERY DANGEROUS AND WHEN CARS ARE BEHIND YOU AT A LIGHT ITS VERY SCARY. IT IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE. THE CAR ONLY DOES THIS WHEN ITS SLOWING DOWN TO STOP AT A LIGHT, OR TRYING TO MOVE THOUGH A SLOW LINE THOUGH A PICK UP WINDOW BUT THERE ARE ALWAYS CARS BEHIND YOU THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT IS GOING ON AND IT IS SCARY.

MY 2014 CRUZE HAS A TURBO IN IT TO MAKE IT "ECO" - I.E., RELY ON TURBO FOR BOOST WHEN MORE POWER IS NEEDED RATHER THAN USING MORE GAS. MY CRUZE ENTERED "LIMP MODE" IN JULY WITH 54,000 MILES ON IT. THE TURBO FAILED TO WORK WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS SHIFTING INTO 4TH GEAR WITH HIGH RPM TO KEEP FREEWAY SPEED. WHEN DIAG BOX WAS LATER PLUGGED IN, THE CODE CAME BACK AS "P0299" - TURBO UNDERBOOST. I ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE SENSOR (CODE CAME BACK) AND SOLENOID (CODE BACK AGAIN) AS THEY CAME UP OFTEN IN RESEARCH WHEN LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION. TURBO WORKED FINE FOR A MONTH AND THEN QUIT AGAIN WITH THE SAME CODE AND MY CAR IN LIMP MODE AGAIN. I FILED A COMPLAINT THROUGH GM AND THEY MANAGED TO GET THE PART THAT WAS BACKORDERED INDEFINITELY DUE TO FACTORY WORKERS BEING ON STRIKE. APPARENTLY, GM CUT THEIR HEALTHCARE OVERNIGHT. I'D STRIKE TOO. THE SERVICE PRINTOUT I RECEIVED AFTER REPLACEMENT STATED THAT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TURBO: "INSPECTED FOR OIL INTRUSION, NONE FOUND WASTEGATE SOLENOID CONNECTOR MISSING RETAINER - DOES NOT AFFECT FUNCTION. BYPASS VALVE OPENS AND CLOSES WHEN COMMANDED. NO AIR INDUCTION RESTRICTION FOUND. RECOMMEND TURBO FOR FAILED BOOST COTROL TEST" THIS SOUNDS TO ME LIKE A FAULTY PART, AND AN EXPENSIVE ONE AT $1,501.86, THAT I PAID FOR BUT DID NOT BREAK. NOT TO MENTION THE SENSOR AND SOLENOID REPLACED PRIOR. MY CAR IS "FIXED", AND RUNS, BUT THIS IS STILL AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE IN GENERAL, AND THE TURBO SHOULD BE RECALLED TO PREVENT FUTURE DANGER FOR OTHERS. I ALSO THINK IT'S BS THAT I'VE HAD TO PAY A MONTH'S RENT FOR A PART THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE FAILED AT ONLY 54,000 MILES. I WILL NOT BE KEEPING THIS CAR AND PAYING ANOTHER MONTH'S RENT IN A YEAR. I WILL ALSO NOT BE DOING BUSINESS WITH ANY GM MANUFACTURER.

I RECENTLY HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY TURBO BECOMING DEFECTIVE THAT I LATER FOUND OUT THE PART WAS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER KNEW THAT IT HAD A MANUFACTURING FLAW CAUSING MULTIPLE TURBOS TO BECOME DEFECTIVE. THIS IS A COSTLY PART TO REPLACE AND WITH IT BEING ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER HAS CAUSED A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE THAT HAS ALSO TRIGGERED MULTIPLE PARTS TO GO OUT LIKE MY IGNITION COIL AS WELL AS MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED MY CAR TO OVERHEAT. AS OF RIGHT NOW THERE IS STILL NO NEWS ON WHEN THIS PART IS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE, WE ARE ONLY TOLD THAT THE PART IS BEING REMADE TO SUSTAIN THE STRESS OF THE EXTRA WORK THAT WAS NOT ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR OUR ORIGINAL PART TO SUSTAIN.

THE CAR STARTED MAKING A WHISTLING NOISE, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND IT ACTS LIKE IT WANTS TO CUT OFF AT STOPS.

I'VE PUT IN A CASE WITH THEM AND THEY SEEM TO BE IN NO HURRY TO GIVE ME ANSWERS ON HOW LONG THIS WILL ACTUALLY TAKE AND WHEN I CAN EXPECT MY CAR TO BE SAFE AGAIN.

I WILL BE DRIVING OR STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR TURNING AND THE CAR WILL ACTUALLY COMPLETELY TURN OFF AND START COASTING. IF I AM AT A STOP LIGHT I WILL THAN HAVE TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND THEN TURN THE KEY TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN. I HAVE HAD TO JUMP MY CAR NUMEROUS TIME TO WHERE I KEEP A PORTABLE JUMP IN MY CAR. MY KEY WILL GET LOCKED IN THE IGNITION AND I HAVE TO STICK A WRENCH UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET IT OUT. I HAVE REPLACED MY ALTERNATOR AND MY BATTERY WAS SO SWOLLEN I HAD TO REPLACE THAT AS WELL. THE WIRING WAS REPLACED TO CONNECT THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR AND I JUST HAD THE BCM REPLACED. I'M STILL HAVING ALL THESE ISSUES AFTER ALL THESE REPAIRS.

MY VEHICLE FOR THE LAST YEAR HAS BEEN HAVING SOME ENGINE ISSUES WHERE IT WILL LOCK UP ON ME I CAN'T GET MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND ALL THE LIGHTS WILL START GOING OFF SAYING IT NEEDS SERVICE AND THEN IT WILL STOP AND GO BACK TO THE REGULAR ODOMETER. I'VE KEPT UP WITH MY OIL CHANGES I'VE KEPT UP WITH ANY SERVICE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ON MY VEHICLE BUT TODAY MY ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHEN I STARTED TO RUN MY AIR CONDITIONING. USUALLY I CAN GET UNDER THE HOOD AND WIGGLE SOME WIRES AND THEN THINGS WILL GO BACK TO THE WAY THAT IT WAS BUT LATELY MY CAR HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF ON ME WHILE I'M DRIVING AND I HAD A SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT WEEK TO GO AND SEE A PROFESSIONAL TO GET UNDER THE HOOD TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON I FIGURED IT WAS PROBABLY JUST ANOTHER OIL CHANGE IT IS ABOUT THAT TIME, BUT I WAS ON MY WAY TO A FRIEND'S WEDDING AND I HAD TO STOP AND WHEN I STOP MY CAR DID NOT CUT BACK ON I POP THE HOOD AND WIGGLED SOME WIRES LIKE I USUALLY DO BUT THERE WAS NO ACTIVITY WHATSOEVER UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. I STARTED THINKING TO MYSELF MAYBE I SHOULD PUT SOME OIL IN IT BUT I DON'T WANT TO RUIN MY ENGINE AND I STARTED THINKING MAYBE I NEED SOME ANTIFREEZE BUT AGAIN AND I'M NOT A MECHANIC SO I DON'T WANT TO ASSUME AND THEN DO SOMETHING TO MAKE THINGS A LOT WORSE BUT TODAY MY ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON ME AND I HAD TO WAIT IN THE HEAT FOR OVER AN HOUR TO GET A JUMP.

I WAS CHECKING A LOT OF THE STATS ONLINE FOR THE 2014 CHEVY CRUZE AND THERE WERE ALREADY REPORTS OUT SAFETY REPORTS THAT THERE WERE SOME ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLES IGNITION AND POWER STEERING AND THERE WERE NUMBERS AND CODES AND I'M A BIT UPSET BECAUSE THEY SOLD ME THIS VEHICLE KNOWING THAT THERE WAS SOME THINGS THAT WERE WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THAT COULD HAVE BEEN MY SAFETY AT RISK WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS DOWN THE WAY IT'S BEEN DOING.

I STARTED HAVING ISSUE LAST YEAR WITH THE ENGINE. I CALLED CHEVY AND WAS ADVISED MY WARRANTY EXPIRED 12 DAY'S BEFORE MY COMPLAINT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I LEARNED THAT MULTIPLE CONSUMER'S ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE HEATING SYSTEM AND ENGINE. I FEEL MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THE VEHICLE WILL JUST SHUT OFF MID TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE INVESTED MORE THAN 1000 DOLLARS AND IT'S STILL HAVING ISSUES.

GM SERVICE BULLETIN PIP5197J (AS AMENDED 10/2018) DESCRIBES MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE PCV AND NON RETURN VALVE ON THIS ENGINE. IF EITHER PART FAILS IT IS A COSTLY REPAIR AND CAN LEAD TO OIL SPRAYING OUT OF THE VALVE COVER/INTAKE MANIFOLD. THIS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE IN OCTOBER AND HAS HAPPENED TO A HUGE NUMBER OF OTHER VEHICLES IN THE PAST 6 YEARS. THE OIL EXPECTORATE FROM THE ENGINE CAN BURN AND CAUSE SMOKE TO ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT LEADING TO RESPIRATORY ISSUES FOR THE PASSENGERS. THE ISSUE IS KNOWN TO GM BUT THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL OR SERVICE WARRANTY EXTENSION. IN ADDITION TO THE SMOKE ISSUE, THE OIL CAN ALSO FORM A HAZARD ON THE ROADWAY THROUGH OIL DROPLETS. A VERY TINY STOPPER BALL IN THE VALVE CAN MALFUNCTION, LEADING TO A CASCADE OF FAILURES THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE. THE SERVICE BULLETIN COVERS 4 SPECIFIC MODELS OF VEHICLES FROM 2011-2019.

I HAD THE CAR FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS AND SOME WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. NOW I'M EXPERIENCING LOTS OF PROBLEMS. FIRST IT WAS COOLANT LEAK, RADIATOR, WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT AND NOW THE HEAD GASKET ARE OUT CALLED DEALERSHIP & GM AND THEY SAY THE CAN'T DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. CURRENTLY STILL PAYING FOR A FOR THE CAR AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED NO HELP FOR EITHER PARTIES MENTION ABOVE. I WILL LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS CAR IS IN THE LEMON LAW OR IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME. THANK YOU

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO GM DEALER (LARKIN-COBB) CHEVROLET BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING COOLANT. HAD TO ADD COOLANT TO RESERVOIR AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. DEALER FOUND A SMALL VALVE DRIPPING ON THE ENGINE AND REPLACED IT. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER REMAINING POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF COMPLAINT/ISSUE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO LEAK AFTER SAID REPAIR AND WAS BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER 2 MORE TIMES AND DYE TEST WAS DONE AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. ON THE THIRD TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK AGAIN WITH THE SAME ISSUE..LOSS OF COOLANT. THE DEALER AND GM WARRANTY NOW WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR CYLINDER HEAD REMOVAL AND HEAD GASKET REPLACEMENT. I CONTENDED THAT THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF INITIAL REPAIR AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED AND SHOULD STILL BE FIXED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. GM WARRANTY REP SAID NO...THE "DATE" HAD EXPIRED. NOW I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY..AND GM WONT "OWN" UP TO ITS WARRANTY. CANT JUST TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE IT WAS SETTING OFF "HIGH TEMPERATURE" CODE WHEN AT IDLE AND ALSO MOVING. AFTER RESEARCHING..THESE CHEVROLET CRUZES HAVE A VERY BAD HISTORY OF COOLING PROBLEMS...INCLUDING WATER PUMP, TURBO SEALS, AND BLOWN HEAD GASKETS. GM SHOULD HONOR THIER WARRANTYS AND FIX THE ENGINE AND COOLING PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR.IN MY OPINION, ANY COOLING PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED BECAUSE IT IS BADLY ENGINEERED.

MY 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE STARTED LOSING POWER UPON ACCELERATION. A FEW DAYS LATER, THE ENGINE DIAGNOSTIC LIGHT CAME ON. I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG WHEN I COULDN'T KEEP IT RUNNING IN MY DRIVEWAY TO CLEAR THE ICE FROM THE WINDOWS. FINALLY, I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IT TO OUR MECHANIC. WHEN HE RAN THE CODES, HIS COMPUTER SHOWED TWO SENSORS AND THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED REPLACING. OVER $700.00 LATER, THE PROBLEM STILL WASN'T FIXED. I WAS AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR, FEARING THE LACK OF POWER AND BOGGING WOULD CAUSE ME TO STALL IN TRAFFIC, THUS INCREASING THE LIKELIHOOD OF CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. IT IS BURNING GAS AND BOGGING UPON ACCELERATION AND / OR WHILE IDLING. SOMETIMES, IT IS DIFFICULT TO START. THE DIAGNOSTIC LIGHT IS STILL ON. TODAY, MY MECHANIC IDENTIFIED THE PROBLEM. THE CHECK VALVE IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD HAS STOPPED SEALING AND HAS DISAPPEARED. WHERE DID IT GO? INSIDE THE ENGINE? I ASK. IT WILL NEED A NEW VENT TUBE, A NEW INTAKE MANIFOLD WITH THE CHECK VALVE INTACT, AND A NEW VALVE COVER WHICH HAS TO BE REPLACED DUE TO A LITTLE DIAPHRAGM WHICH CAN'T BE REPLACED BY ITSELF. ANOTHER POOR DESIGN. THIS CAR ONLY HAS 47,967 MILES AS OF 2-05-2019. I BOUGHT THIS CAR FOR THE GOOD GAS MILEAGE, WHICH HAS BEEN GREATLY REDUCED AT THIS TIME. GM NEEDS TO CORRECT THESE PROBLEMS SINCE THIS ISSUE HAS BEEN CAUSED BY A FAULTY DESIGN OF THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE AS NHTSA HAS A BULLETIN NUMBER (11170978) IDENTIFYING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE CRUZE IN OTHER STATES. AS A SENIOR ON A FIXED INCOME, IT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED THAT THIS PROBLEM IS CORRECTED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. THANK YOU.

I FOUND A BULLETIN #14371 B DATED JAN.2015 THAT EXPLAINS A SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT FOR 2011-2014 CRUZES THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT WAS ONLY FOR 1.4L ENGINES NOT MY 1.8 L ENGINE SO IT ISN'T COVERED.

THE INTAKE MANIFOLD DESIGN ON THE TURBO ENGINES ARE FAULTY AND FAIL EVERY 40,000 MILES OR SO. GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND YET THERE IS NO ATTEMPT TO REDESIGN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE CHECK VALVE IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD IS WHAT FAILS TO WORK. THE CHECK VALVE STOPS SEALING AND EVENTUALLY DISAPPEARS CAUSING A LEAK. THERE IS EVEN A BULLETIN DESCRIBING THE ISSUE BUT YET NO FIX BY GM. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO FORCE GM TO FIX THEIR FAULTY DESIGNED PRODUCT?

PROBLEM NO.1, MY CRUZE HAS LOST POWER, THE HEATER PUTS OUT COLD AIR, THE RADIATOR IS LOSING FLUID, THE ENGINE HAS STARTED TO OVER HEAT, AND THERE IS WET SPOT UNDER THE EXHAUST PIPE WHEN I IDLE THE ENGINE! THAT MEANS MY CAR HAS ETHER A BLOWEN HEAD GASKET OR CRACKED HEAD! THE CAR HAS LESS THEN 85,000 MILES AND IF THE HEAD IS CRACKED, I THINK I KNOW WHY BECAUSE GM DECKED THE BLOCK THE SHORT-WAY CENTER OUT TO THE ENDS! WITCH CAN LEAVE A VALLEY IN THE CENTER OF THE BLOCK! THEY MADE THE SAME MISTAKE WITH THE GRAND AM QUAD-4! THE HEAD ALL CRACKED BETWEEN CYLINDERS 2 AND 3 BECAUSE THE BLOCK WASN'T DECKED SQUARE! I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER ON SAT 12/29/18 WISH SOMEONE WOULD CHECK THE BLOCK, I KNOW THE DEALER WILL TRY TO BLAME MY AND TO MAKE ME PAY FOR SOME OR ALL OF IT, EVEN THOUGH IT IS SILL UNDER WARRANTY! PROBLEM NO.2, I PURCHASED A NEW CHEVY CRUZE ECO WITH A MANUAL TRANSMISSION 4 YEARS AGO, I GOT IT BECAUSE I WANTED A HIGH MPG CAR AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING STANDARD TRANSMISSION SINCE I STARTED DRIVING AND I KNEW I COULD BETTER MILEAGE THEN RATED (65.5 MPG MY BEST SCORE!), BUT THE SHIFTER HAS TO MUCH SLOP IN IT, I HAD A CUTLASS WITH A HURST SHIFTER THAT WAS 16 INCHES TALL AND USED THAT HAD LESS SLOP! I HAVE COMPLAINED TO DEALER ABOUT IT SINCE THE DAY I GOT CAR! THREE TIMES I HAVE PUT THE TRANSMISSION IN BOTH FIRST AND THIRD GEAR AT THE SAME TIME! I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW MANY TIME I HAVE MISSED THE SHIFT WHILE STILL HOLDING ALL THE WAY IN POSITION! IF I AM IN A HURRY I CAN'T FIND THE GEAR AT ALL! PROBLEM NO.3, THE HYDRAULIC THROW-OUT BEARING IS SLUSHY AND SLOW. BECAUSE THE MASTER-CYLINDER AND FEED-LINE IS TO SMALL! I AM A FAST SHIFTER, AND I CAN OUT SHIFT THE CLUTCH! THAT IS BAD BECAUSE THE PRESSURE PLATE DOESN'T CLOSE FAST ENOUGH IT CAUSES EXCESS WARE AND BURNING OF THE CLUTCH!

MY ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE THE STABILOCK SERVICE FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD; CAR JERKS WHILE EITHER IDLE AND/OR STOPPED; A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD (ALL THESE ISSUES ALWAYS START AT THE SAME TIME!!). I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO CHEVY DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE (SUPPOSEDLY) REPLACED THE SAME PART - SHAM COVER (ACCORDING TO MY INVOICES). I TOTALLY DON'T GET WHY THIS IS A NOT A RECALL ISSUE. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND OF COURSE, NOW THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, I'M SURE IT WILL BE EVEN MORE COSTLY.... WHICH I REALLY THINK IT WILL BE THE SAME THING! (OF COURSE, I'M NOT A MECHANIC, BUT IF I'M TAKING MY CAR IN FOR THE SAME REASON AND THEY DIAGNOSE IT AND REPAIR THAT SAME PART; I'M BEGINNING TO WONDER.... WHY EVEN CHARGE ME FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST WHEN YOUR CHANCES ARE IT'S THE SAME ISSUE!!) IS THIS A PART THAT ONLY LAST A MAXIMUM OF SO MANY MILES? I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 3/2015; AND THE 1ST TIME I RECEIVED SERVICE FOR THIS ISSUE WAS 6/29/2015, AND THEN AGAIN 2/24/2017. I'M SO CONFUSED!!! :( COME ON GM ~ HELP US OUT PLEASE!!

VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING AFTER I OWNED THE CAR FOR MORE THAN 3 YEARS WITHOUT SIMILAR INCIDENTS. ITS DANGEROUS BECAUSE JUST WHEN YOU NEED POWER TO MERGE, THE POWER DIPS INSTEAD WHICH IS POTENTIALLY LIKELY TO END IN BEING REAR-ENDED. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THEY KEPT IT FOUR DAYS AND STATED THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG BECAUSE THEY FOUND NO CODES. THEY STATE IT MIGHT BE DUE TO "TURBO LAG" WHICH IS NORMAL. IT IS NOT NORMAL AS I HAVE OWNED THE CAR ALMOST 4 YEARS BEFORE THIS BEGAN HAPPENING.

FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE RADIO SHUTTING OFF AND ON, STABILITRAK SHOWING AS NEEDING SERVICE, THE CAR SHUDDERING, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO A MECHANIC 3 TIMES TO DETERMINE WHAT MAY BE CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON, AND 3 TIMES THE COMPUTER SAYS AIR INTAKE.

NOTORIOUS GM ISSUE - TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES. THIRD TIME MINE HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND ARE NOW LEAKING AGAIN - SUSPECT IN COLDER CLIMATES THE PART IS NOT HOLDING UP AND ESPECIALLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO DEFECTS. FLUID LEAKS OUT AND CAUSES BUILD UP ON THE LINE, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY BE A FIRE HAZARD. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL CRUZE. THE DEALER IS ASKING $400+ TO REPAIR WHAT I VIEW IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND DESIGN. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THIS IS ANOTHER PROBLEM I AM FACED TO COVER THE REPAIR BILL FOR A FAULTY DESIGN/PRODUCT. GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT WITH A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

FOR THE PAST YEAR I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH MY CAR OVERHEATING. THE SCREEN WILL DISPLAY AC OFF DUE TO HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE, FROM THEN THE SCREEN WILL GO TO ENGINE OVERHEATED IDLE ENGINE, EVERY TIME I DRIVE THESE SIGNALS COME ON, IF I STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT COLD AIR AUTOMATICALLY STARS TO KICK OUT.

THERE IS A CODE THAT APPEARS BUT IT IS MONTHS AFTER THE CAR STARTS TO SURGE WHEN YOU TURN IT ON AND FEEL LIKE IT IS GOING TO CUT OUT WHEN IDLING. I LIVE IN THE CITY AND CANNOT HESITATE TO DRIVE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS AS IT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

I HAPPEN TO CHECK UNDER MY HOOD TO SEE WHY I WASN'T GETTING ANY HEAT IN MY CAR. I THEN CAME TO REALIZE THAT THERE WASN'T ANY COOLANT, WHEN I WAS THERE ONE 10 DAYS PRIOR AT THE DEALERSHIP TO GET MY OIL CHANGED AND THE PAPER STATED THAT ALL FLUIDS WERE CHECKED. I THEN NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP, AND PUT SOME COOLANT IN MY CAR SO I WOULDN'T CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR. THEY CHECK IT, CLAIMED THERE WASN'T ANYTHING GOING ON WITH IT. AND SENT ME HOME. I THEN HAD A COWORKER TELL ME THAT WHAT I WAS DESCRIBING WAS MY WATER PUMP. I THEN NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN THAT I WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, AND THAT I AM NOW SMELLING COOLANT IN THE CAR AND MY CAR ACT LIKE ITS READY TO STALL.. THEY GOT ME BACK IN AND CHECKED WHAT I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT. THEY FOUND OUT I WAS RIGHT IT WAS THE WATER PUMP.. I HAD FOUND A RECALL ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING AND SHOWED THEM, AND BECAUSE THEY CHECKED BY VIN NUMBER MY CAR DIDN'T HAVE THIS RECALL BUT MY CAR SHOULD HAVE. IT WAS FOR THE 1.4 ENGINE, NOT MY 1.8. I HAD MY WATER PUMP REPLACED, MY THERMOSTAT AND I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES. THIS CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND SHOULDN'T HAVE THESE PROBLEMS SO EARLY. GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING FOR ALL CRUZE OWNERS CAUSE I AM TIRED OF SPENDING OVER 600 DOLLARS AND STILL HAVING ISSUES.

A WARNING TO CHEVY CRUZE OWNER'S MYSELF OWNING ONE, I NOTICED THE CAR LOSING ACCELERATION AND AT CERTAIN TIMES, MISFIRING FROM A CYLINDER, TO SUM IT UP, I RAN THE OBD CODE AND GOT CODE # P0304 WHICH IS ENGINE MISFIRING. I ENDED UP WAITING UNTIL THE CAR WAS COLD AND REMOVED THE T30 SCREWS TO ACCESS THE SPARK PLUGS, THE COIL PACK'S RUBBER BOOTS WERE MELTED ONTO MY SPARK PLUGS, I HAVE TAKE SUPER CARE OF THE CAR AND I NEVER WOULD OF THOUGHT OF THE COIL PACK HAVING A SERIOUS ISSUE, THIS IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING OWNER'S SHOULD BE AWARE OF. I HOPE THIS CAN GET LOOKED INTO AND A RECALL WOULD BE A HELPFUL OPTION, THOSE COIL PACKS SHOULD BE MADE DIFFERENTLY OR MAKE SOMETHING MORE DURABLE THAN PLASTIC BOOTS. THIS PROBLEM STARTED A FEW WEEKS BACK, IT WOULD RUN FINE FOR ALMOST A HALF HOUR AND THEN IT STARTED CHUGGING AND AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, IT HAD NO POWER TO MOVE, PROCESS OF ELIMINATION WAS A CODE FOR THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE SENSOR, SO I STARTED THERE FIRST ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS CHEAPER, ONCE I GOT A CONFIRMED CODE OF CYLINDER'S MISFIRING THAT'S WHEN WE TOOK AN IN DEPTH LOOK AT THE SPARK PLUGS, I HAD TO REPLACE THE COIL PACK AND I DID 4 NEW SPARK PLUGS.

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN APRIL 2016 WITH APPROX 22,000. ON THE SECOND DAY THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE HOOD WHICH IT SOUNDED VERY CLOSE TOWARDS THE ENGINE, EXHAUST PART OF THE CAR. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIDN'T STATE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS THEY JUST TOLD ME THEY HAD FIXED IT. THE NOISE WENT AWAY. 3 MONTHS LATER I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKING. I WAS AT A BIG INTERSECTION WHEN I WAS TURNING LEFT MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ME AND MY ENTIRE LIGHTS INCLUDING THE DASHBOARD WENT OUT. I COULDN'T MOVE MY CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND LUCKILY THERE WASN'T CARS COMING TOWARDS ME. IT TOOK ABOUT 10-20 SECONDS TO COME BACK ON. WHEN IT DID COME BACK ON THERE WAS A LOT OF LIGHTS POPPING UP AND THEN THERE WAS A "STABILI TRAK" LIGHT ON. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE BECAUSE I KNEW I COULDN'T DRIVE IT ANYMORE. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND I TOOK IT IN THAT SAME DAY. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A WIRE THAT WAS LOOSE AND THEY HAD FIXED IT. WELL THEY DID NOT, 3 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON THEN. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AND NOW I AM BACK TO THE SAME THING EXCEPT SOMETHING NEW. NOT ONLY DOES MY LIGHT COME UP AND MY STEERING WHEEL STILL LOCKS ON ME BUT MY CAR BEGAN SHAKING LAST NIGHT AND WHEN I WOULD DRIVE IT IT WOULD MAKE THE SAME LOUD NOISE FROM THE BEGINNING TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR TOWARDS THE ENGINE, AND IT WOULD HESITATE ON GOING WHEN I WOULD MAKE A STOP. LIKE IF IT WAS ABOUT TO FULLY TURN OFF SO MY CAR GOT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP LAST NIGHT. THE ISSUES WERE NOT FIXED AND THEY ARE ONLY GETTING WORSE.THESE ISSUES SHOULD'VE BEEN TAKEN CARE THE FIRST TIME I HAD GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOW IT'S THE 4TH TIME I HAVE GONE TO A DEALERSHIP AND NOTHING IS BEING RESOLVED AND I PRETTY SURE NOW THERE IS A BIG ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE WITH SO LITTLE MILES!

I HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN JULY OF 2015 FROM THE CHEVROLET SCHUMACHER DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA I CURRENTLY HAVE 61,939MI. MY LAST OIL CHANGE WAS IN 12/2016 AND IS DUE AT 64,000MI. TO DATE I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE FROM INSTALLING NEW SPARK PLUGS, BRAKES THAT SOUND LIKE AN AMTRAK TRAIN, AND NOW MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND MY BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY IS ALREADY EXPIRED AT LIKE 33,000MI. SO NOW I FALL UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WHICH COVERS YOUR ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING MY ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO PAY $160.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THEN HAVE TO PAY ON TOP OF THAT $800 FOR AN ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE. I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WILL MARK MY 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY HAVING THIS VEHICLE IN JULY 2017.I AM VERY DISPLEASED RIGHT NOW AND WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE TO BE INVESTIGATED AND THAT SOMEONE FROM THIS GOVERNMENT AGENCY CONTACT THE DEALER LOCATED IN NORTH PALM BEACH SO THEY CAN FIND OUT WHAT EXACTLY IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. SOMETHING LIKE THIS SHOULD HAPPEN TO CARS THAT ARE 5 YEARS OLD NOT 1 1/2 YEARS OLD. *TR

I CHANGED THE OIL AT PERMITTED TIME, TOOK IT IN FOR A MECHANIC TEST DRIVE. MECHANIC SAID IT SEEMED FINE. FEEDBACK FROM PASSENGERS WERE AFFIRMING THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE. IT SEEMS THE COLDER IT IS, THE HARDER IT RUNS. LIKE YOU NEVER CHANGE YOUR OIL, AND THE MUFFLER HAS A HOLE, OR THE MOTOR RUNS REAL HEAVY, LIKE RPMS STICKING. SOMETIMES ITS MORE FAINT. I TRIED HIGHER GRADE GASOLINE, AS ADVISED, THIS DID NOT HELP. MORE IMPORTANTLY. THE DOORS SHOULD DEFINITELY BE RECALLED. THEY ARE A SAFETY CONCERN. THEY SLAM BACK ON YOU EVEN IF OPENED ALL THE WAY, IF ON AN UNEVEN PAVEMENT OR SLIGHT INCLINE. THERE IS ONLY ONE LATCH AT ALL THE WAY OPEN. THIS HAS BEEN A MAJOR PROBLEM AND SLAMS BACK ON MY CHILDREN AND MYSELF. I AM CONCERNED FOR OTHERS THAT MAY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE.

AFTER PURCHASING THE 2014 CRUZE ON JULY 29, 2014, I DROVE IT TO MY RESIDENCE WHICH WAS FOR 6 MILES AND PARKED IN MY DRIVEWAY. I PLACED THE SHIFT LEVEL IN THE PARK POSITION AND SET THE EMERGENCY BRAKE. MY GRAND DAUGHTER, AGE 16, ASKED IF SHE COULD TEST DRIVE THE CAR. AFTER ENTERING THE VEHICLE, SHE RELEASED THE EMERGENCY BRAKE AND ATTEMPTED TO START IT. THE CAR WOULD NOT START AND UNKNOWN TO HER WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START, THE VEHICLE SLOWLY WENT BACKWARDS INTO THE STREET. THE SHIFT LEVER IN THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN PARK AND WOULD NOT MOVE AND IT WOULD NOT START. I CALLED ON STAR AND ASKED THEM TO RUN A TEST ON THE CAR TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT. THE LADY CAME BACK WITH NO KNOWN PROBLEMS FROM THEIR TEST. I ASKED AND SHE CALLED A TOW TRUCK TO RETURN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER. THE CRUZE WAS REPAIRED THE NEXT DAY. THE PROBLEM WAS IDENTIFIED WITH A DEFECTIVE SHIFT CABLE. THE CASING AROUND THE SHIFT CABLE AT THE TRANSMISSION CRACKED CAUSING CABLE NOT TO RELEASE LEAVING TRANSMISSION IN FREE MODE. I WAS UPSET AND ANGRY WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND GM BECAUSE THE VEHICLE BROKE DOWN IN THE FIRST 6 MILES. I THEN CHECKED FOR RECALLS ON THE VEHICLE AND FOUND GM RECALL NUMBER 14048 AND NHTSA RECALL 14V092, WHICH IDENTIFIED MY DEFECT EXACTLY, BUT DID NOT INCLUDE MY VIN IN THE RECALL ORDER. I CALLED GM AND EXPRESSED MY CONCERNS THEY ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND A VERY NICE LADY CALLED AND ASKED WHAT WOULD MAKE ME HAPPY. MY MAIN CONCERN WAS THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AND OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE BOUGHT THE CRUZE WITH A DEFECTIVE SHIFT LEVER CABLE. ONCE A PART IS IDENTIFIED AS DEFECTIVE IT SHOULD NO LONGER BE USED AND IT SHOULD BE REPLACED ON ALL MANUFACTURED VEHICLES. I WAS OFFERED A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE BY THE DEALERSHIP AND GM BUT I DECLINED THE OFFER. *TR

MOVING WITH TRAFFIC, SNEEZED AND WHEN I OPENED MY YES I COULDN'T STOP IN TIME AND REAR ENDED A STOPPED OR SLOWING DOWN VEHICLE. I WAS WEARING MY SEAT BELT,SLAMMED INTO THE STEERING WHEEL, WONDERED WHY THE AIR BAGS DIDN'T DEPLOY. WENT TO HOSPITAL. BRUISED FROM RIGHT SIDE OF NECK DOWN MY CHEST. FAINT BLACK YES FROM HITTING STEERING WHEEL. BRUISES ON BOTH KNEES. I AM CONCERNED THE AIR BAGS FAILED. YOUR ASSISTANCE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. ALSO HAVE PICTURES OF BRUISING. *TR

AT 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 *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING ON AN INCLINE, THE VEHICLE DRIFTED BACKWARDS. IMMEDIATELY AFTER DISENGAGING THE BRAKES, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 7,500.
