The 2013 Chevy Cruze is prone to overheating and there is always a coolant leak or something related to the coolant/antifreeze that is leaking or not correct. My Chevy Cruze has been leaking coolant profusely and so has my friends who had a Chevy Cruze as well. It is truly a pain to continuously refill the coolant so that the vehicle will not overheat. A recall needs to be in place immediately. I-??ve heard this same story on Chevy Cruze a way too many times.
I have a blown gasket which is causing my engine to run hot which i can-??t afford because the cost of fixing is very high, Also could cause my transmission to blow, car constantly runs hot, also jerks very hard

While driving the light came one engine overheating a/c shut off. There was a leak of coolant. I was stranded on the side of the road. We had it brought to a mechanic. They repaired the problem. Within 3 days it started again, the mechanic thought it was a faulty part so replaced it. After a week it happened again. We had it repaired again. Now 2 months later it is happening again. Once again stranded on the side of the road This has happened 4 times in 2 months and looks to be a very common issue with a simple search online. Multiple parts replaced and still stranded9
Cracks in the diaphragm may have developed in the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) pressure regulator valve. This has caused my engine to run rough, especially when idle and have the engine trouble code for the fuel trim lean (PO171) displayed. I-??ve noticed this recall in other 2013 Chevrolet Cruze but there is none for my VIN.

Hi, I have had my car for a total of 8 years so far. It was bought used, in perfect condition in the beginning. Years passed and I have gained many problems down the road. First, the valve had to be replaced, spent a little under $1K, car worked well, until it started leaking coolant. Second, the car started to jerk back if you were passing at least 60mph. You go above 65-70, the car would jerk back to where it felt as if the whole bottom of the car fell off. You could press the gas pedal and it would barely go, it felt as if you were pushing the car with your own hands from the back, as if it lost power to move forward. Third, why does my coolant leak" Why is it that I have to put coolant in it at least every other week" The fan is EXTREMELY loud as well, as if it's overheating.
Since June 2021 have had this car in to the mechanic 7 times for engine coolant system. Each time it has been replace. Just 2 weeks ago it started to buck while driving. No matter what speed I am at. There are times where I am at a red light and it acts like it wants to stall out. When I proceed to go from a red light there are times where it takes a few seconds before it actually starts to go while the gas pedal is pressed.
Engine overheating, lost power while driving on the highway, coolant leaking, car was repeatedly trying to start on it's own without pressing the start button or having foot on break (I was outside the vehicle), sounds like it starts to crank over but won't start, drained battery completely. Many others with same model and year having similar issues. This needs to be a recall for this car
With no warning my car started to overheat while traveling home from the Eden rest stop in NC two weeks ago. I have replaced my thermostat and radiator/overflow cap. I never had any warning to let me know that my car was starting to overheat. My check engine light never came on! And my car just shut off on me when leaving work this afternoon in the middle of 5 o-??clock traffic on Eastchester Dr in High Point, NC. I noticed that I had no coolant and there was no sign of leaks anywhere!
Multiple incidents of overheating spanning over the period of a few years now: Water pump, coolant housing, valve cover gasket, and most recently turbo charger coolant lines have all been replaced. Have not contacted manufacturer because the information everywhere says there are no recalls for this obviously very common problem! doesn't seem fair at all. This issue has left me stranded in traffic, on side of highways, having to call someone countless times, not to mention the repair and alternate transportation fees. I mean, what does it take to make something important enough to issue a recall for"!"!!
Water pump, cooling system. There-??s a recall on this system already but not for my vin. The service bulletin describes 100% off issues im having yes manufacture will not help because my vin isn-??t attached to service bulletin. Car over heat constantly, I-??ve pretty much replaced the entire cooling system twice now. Airbags also faulty. The entire passenger side of vehicle was hit by fedex truck not long after being rear-ended and an adjuster claiming car 95% totaled, ( yet still ended up rebuilding it) no airbags deployed in both situations
Vehicle is consistently overheating and needing replacement parts to prevent overheating. Sept 2019 Chevy replaced the water outlet housing. June 2020 Chevy replaced the water pump because car was overheating Now the head gaskets are damaged and car is unuseable. Vehicle is consistently overheating every year and needed repairs. Vehicle does fit the criteria for 2013-2014 Chevy Cruze recall, however the car does not have a turbo engine.
Countless oil leaks - replaced the valve cover /gasket and solenoids and countless other parts to stop the oil leak when it was coming from the intake manifold PVC system - I even replaced the turbocharger.
