There is a consistent plastic burning smell, usually when the AC or heater is on. I have replaced the AC unit, and this still happens. Smoke sometimes appears on the driver's side through the vents. I have taken the vehicle in a few times for this, and they can never find anything. The last repairs I had done replaced wires, pipes, and connectors.
I have a 2013 Chevy Cruze 1.4L turbo. The past month or so when I am driving on an incline or hill it loses power and the traction control light and stability control light comes on and the check engine light flashes. About a week ago I was coming home from class and my car lost power and almost got smashed by a semi and today it lost power and almost got rear ended. Have had several mechanics look at it and they can find the problem.
Has an internal engine and cooling problems exhaust gas entering the cooling system I believe he knew about this issue and still sold me the car anyway. I told him that the water in the tank was bubbling and he said nothing was wrong with the car. And now the engine gasket is blown and the car is overheating
The exhaust manifold cooks the cylinder head gasket causing oil leaks and turbo failure before 75,000 miles. Overwhelming smell of burnt antifreeze coming from vents due to coolant leak right of the showroom floor. Ranked lowest possible reliability rating 40 of

I was just driving along under normal driving when all of a sudden my rpms went all the way up and the car wasn't going anywhere but costing to a stop along with a loud banging sound. I was driving approximately 28mph on a street
I left my keys in the ignition one night, went to bed, and woke up to my headlights turning on and off. I thought someone was trying to steal my car, but when I ran outside, the car was literally starting itself, turning itself off, turning back on, and back off. I'm not sure how long it had been doing that, but then I started it up myself, and turned it off, then removed the keys from the ignition. It was in the park position.
First the water pump had to be replaced, then the turbo coils had to be replaced $740, then the surge tank and now they are saying more leaks and wanted to do some test that cost $65. Something is not right, am I the only one this is happening to?
Took car in for overheating after having hi temp worning come on. Checked coolant levels it was low. Deal repared car per recall. Unfortunitly motor was damaged do to over heating. Dealer returned car with bad motor after testing for hidrocarbons. Charged me $800 even with recall parts provided. Car is still undrivable do to waterpump leak. Where do I go from here" lemon law? dealer work not preformed" please advise.
The oils is leaking is this vehicle.. and how it was explained is that the oil is also leaking into the turbo.. which is causing oil to basically be pushed out instead of air being brought in for the car to go the correct speed and the car is undriveable
The car seems to have been affected of one several issues that happened early on in the production with a coolant leak smell problem in the cabin, particularly evident while braking to a stop. The smell seems to be linked to a coolant leak in the heater core or in the connections of the pipes with the exchanger itself. This is dangerous as the fumes are possibly slightly toxic and, moreover, it indicates a leakage in an area after the firewall that can lead to scalding if it gets in contact with a person. Earlier events on the car happened in the initial production of the Cruze and typically quite early in the mileage, but my car showed it now at 105000 miles. An improvement, but evidently not a full fix.
The locks keep locking & unlocking, sometimes after getting the feeling that the car was bumped, which it wasn't. lately it almost stalls then accelerates too quickly & makes a revving sound. I'm not driving it right now. The bumping & locks on & off happen while driving or while stopped.I can't give a date. It's been happening for couple of months. Thank you
Went out and started car up. Car was shaking and service stabilitrac and service traction control were on the dash screen. This happened back in December as well and then the car eventually stopped working altogether.
My vehicle repeatedly ran hot everytime I would drive it over a mile on the road. My husband changed the thermostat, always made sure it had coolant, checked my hoses, and replaced the water pump. But eventually it blew a head gasket. We noticed it did so when we seen water had mixed into the oil. Supreme Chevrolet replaced the engine at 96,000 miles in November 2016 under warranty. I drove the car about 54,000 miles with the replaced engine and it too started running hot everytime I would drive it about a mile down the road. The dash light would say turn A/C off and idle engine or turn off engine due to high temperature. We changed the radiator, the hoses, the water pump, and the thermostat on the car and it remained running hot with high temperatures until that engine too blew a head gasket.the dealership will not warranty the second engine although it only has 67,000 miles on the new engine. And now I am left with no vehicle and still owe $6700 on the Chevrolet Cruze due to the faulty coolant system.
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 ?
The Chevy eco Cruze has been giving me problems from the start. I was driving with the ac on and came to a signal light when the ac shuts of & comes back on. Also at the signal light I thaught I had gotten a tap from the back from another vehicle because the car jerked. Turned out no car behind me but car still jerks forward with foot all the way down on brake pedal. Next if I'm driving and slow down to make, let's say a left hand turn once I make the turn the car is sluggish as if it has trouble picking up speed. Happens all the time from a stopped position or if I slow down it takes for ever to pick up momentum. Making it scarey to merge or just be on the road. Also if I turn the radio up the lights will die or fade so I've replaced the alternator but it still does it. Ive checked connections wires you name it.
