Chevy Cruze 2013 ltz turbo, I have the paperwork stating it is turbo. I took it to a dealerships because check engine light came on. I was told it was fine. They cleared everything. I have been told different things whether it has turbo or not. The turbo was supposedly checked several times since I bought it. The mechanic at dealership said it did not have turbo. I asked the head mechanic to drive the car with me in it. He did, the head mechanic convinced me it had turbo and it was working fine, I said it doesn't act like it to me, he said this is all its got and that's it, the car is fine. The head mechanic said it was fine, I said something is not right, he convinced everything was and to push the clear button when it would be and it would be fine. This happened between 2014 and 2018 this has happened over the years. I was told to basically touch the clear button. Codes started to pop up; it started with the window. I was told to hit clear button when this happens, so I did. Then check engine codes pop up on dash saying: Role window down and back up, check transmission, key remote not detected, start with remote start, check air bags, it has done this off and on for a several years, off and on. Now this week it got really bad to the point the car just shuts off, then it will not start, until I touch the clear button or I have to unhook the battery otherwise the dash will not turn off and I can't start it. I took it to have codes checked and mass flow sensor, then it said vapor canister purge valve then map sensor, I replaced all, the car still acts the same. Codes still appear on dash. Start the car it seems ok, then you drive it and the engine just shuts off and codes start to appear again. Should this be checked into. I can't find records, I will try, but I can tell you dealerships.

My check engine keeps going on and off and when comes on give out power little by little till my engine reduce power comes up and gives out and almost crashed on freeway serval times
Takata recall a few months after I purchased this vehicle the check engine light came on then it goes off the last few months it's back on and makes a noise when the air conditioning system is on.
Could push the gas pedal to the floor and it won't accelerate. Pressing the gas with normal pressure makes the RPM's increase very quickly and the car either won't accelerate or will accelerate very slowly. The engine light was on previously for two days and then shut off and hasn't come back on yet. I think it is the turbo. Unknown cause.

January 2019: Problem: Oil leak, diagnosis: Timing cover gasket need replacement
For some reason when I drive my car it starts shaking sometimes it happens when I start driving or when I brake I tried to find the problem and it looks that it is the drive shaft. I though that it is something that only happened to me but I found out that there are more cars involved in that but my Chevy Cruze 2013 looks like it is not not one of those. What can I do about it ?
Vehicle shuts off while driving losing complete power and steering! so dangerous and deadly! taking the car in today, car also riding rough and misfiring. All maintenance done every 3,000 miles. This car has had one problem after another and this last one could have killed my teenager daughter! it stopped on her 5 times on the freeway!
Engine light came on, air leak came from valve cover. Apparently the cover and manifold went bad. There needs to be a recall and permanent fix on this immediately. Too many of these cars are being sold, too much money is being made not to have a fix for this. My car is 16,000 miles out of warranty. Ridiculous!
Turned onto a major highway and a code came on and then it wouldn't accelerate, made some weird clanking noise, the noise comes and goes but is loud, rpms were high. Car has been well maintained oil changes every 3000 miles. Took to independent mechanic and problem was unidentified. Calling dealership in the morning.
My check engine light turned on, so I took it in and they said the valve cover needed to be replace. The cost was $280 to replace it. When starting the car there is a loud clanking noise. This only happens when starting the car. We thought replacing the valve cover would correct this issue, but it did not. The car still has a really loud clanking noise. Once the car is moving it drives fine. (manual shift car) however our fears are that if something breaks while driving down the freeway, that it could cause engine loss or worse freeze in the middle of cars driving 75mph and cause a sever accident. Can Y'all please check into this and let me know if there has been any recalls with this issue?
Car looses speed can't give it gas has no pull! once you take it out of gear and put back in drive, works fine. Lights flicker on and off, on radio. Bought car in February with 49.000 miles on it drove to store came back out of store car was completely dead! made no sound, checked battery everything, 5 min later started rite up. This car does not feel safe to me, I wish I could return it.
My 2013 Chevy Cruze that had 80000 miles on it head gaskets are blown out along with the bolts and cooling system. Upon reviewing other complaints and speaking to others this seems to be a problem. The car had regular tune-ups and oil changes along with a engine flush. I have attached a copy of the estimate to repair the gaskets. The shop also informed me that if I wanted the coolant system fixed and it is on recall that they would fix around the coolant system...send the car to the dealership to repair the recall and send the car back to them to finish repairs. I have only had the car 4 years and when I purchased it the car only had 10000 miles and for this to happen this early in a car is a problem.

In order to turn off the vehicle, the contact had to take the gear shifter out of the park position three times and then place it back in park. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic to determine the cause of the failure. The manufacturer was not contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 51,000.
