The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while driving approximately 70 mph, the temperature gauge warning alert sounded off and indicated that the vehicle was overheating. The contact pulled over to the side of the road and turned off the vehicle. The contact had to place more anti-freeze due to the water pump leaking anti-freeze. The contact stated that the failure recurred three times while driving approximately 50-70 mph. The contact took the vehicle to gates Chevy world (636 w mckinley ave, mishawaka, in 46545, (574) 256-3000) who diagnosed that the water pump was leaking and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact learned of a tsb for special coverage adjustment (14371B). The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact the vehicle was not covered under the special coverage. The approximate failure mileage 55,000.
The valve pan cover & gasket keeps leaking oil even after being replaced several times. I bought this car a year ago & was told nothing about this problem what do I need to do? I cant keep fixing this problem as it is rather expensive.
The car is a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze lt that was just purchased from a used car dealer and within the first week the engine retards itself and throws a check engine light. The code reads P0325 when read. The wiring has been checked out and has nothing wrong. The knock sensor has been replaced twice. After being replaced, the code will go away anywhere from a few minutes to a month and then the same issue starts all over again.
Faulty turbocharger, multiple owners that I spoke to have replaced their turbocharger twice only to know that it keeps failing. The turbocharger ruined my catalytic converter which had to be replace du to a crack in the turbocharger.
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. The overheating and rough engine problems keep reocurring no matter what work I have done to it. Most recent issues with the ac off again, as of today, 12/8/2020.

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. Vehicle started making same noise again and doesnt shift correctly. Mechanic advised of incorrect crank case psi due to PCV valve problem. Vehicle only has 27,000 miles and shouldnt have this problem.
The traction control light as well as check engine light came on. With no prior issues, just out of the blue. The car shakes when driving. It happened 6pm last night, no issues beforehand. Its parked out front on the street where I live.
The valve cover keeps blowing. Then it starts leaking oil. When it blows you can not use the air because it will decrease the power in the car. There is no acceleration when this happens also. 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. The engine light comes on as well.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. On another occasion, the vehicle failed to start-up. The vehicle was towed to hurd auto mall - Chevrolet located at 1705 hartford ave, johnston, ri 02919, where the technician reprogrammed the engine control module and serviced the wiring harness. The contact indicated that recently the failure recurred and the vehicle would not start. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 21,000. The VIN was not available.
The airbag sensor light will come on and turn back off and flash 'service airbag' multiple times. I have also replaced the thermostat in my car twice in the past year and I have to replace it again.
Common issue where an underboost even happens due to crack in turbo or failed wastegate, when on highway can cause an accident when suddenly unable to maintain highway speeds, also negatibe battery cable has common issue which reduces voltage pass through causing traction control and stabil-track issues which can cause loss of control of vehicle in hazardous conditions.
I have a water pump leak I have to constantly keep adding water so my vehicle won't run hot and my oxygen sensors are bad it doesn't in motion and stationary
This car has many problems. I am surprised it has no recalls. The problems start two years ago. The valve cover started leaking. Oil was everywhere. Got that replaced but it happened again, and then it happened again. Apparently the PCV valve is built into the valve cover. We are about to be on our 4th valve cover. It's currently inoperable. The water pump had to be replaced, the whole engine had to be replaced. This car is a money pit, and anyone who has ever bought it should be refunded for real. It's a piece of crap and has had nothing but problems, and causes nothing but stress. I will never buy another Chevy ever again.
The engine was acting up. It felt like it wasn't getting the gas to shift gears. It felt like it was going to stall out. Took it to the shop and they replaced the knock sensor and did a tune up. The issue continued so we had to take it back again. We was told the piston melted and put a hole in the block. We bought it brand new, have taken it for all repairs and oil changes, the car has less than 90,000 miles. We are being told these cars have these issues and to join in a lawsuit because the motor needs replaced.
Had to change def reservoir and engine oil psi solenoid valve and my side serivce alert in broken too and at 26000 miles I ask for new car because I had 7 replacement part put on car I was deined new car
Faulty parts have caused issues with the engine, such as constant engine ticking, and squeaking when slowing down and below 1300rpm. Both of these problems I believe are causing the engine to have power loss and ultimately make this vehicle less powerful and become undependable. Beyond those problems I consistently get warnings about the traction control and stabilitrak. I am doing what I can to fix this thing but believe it should not have left the factory.
Message "A/C off, engine too hot" and fan running like crazy. Quick google search tells me this is a popular problem with this vehicle. Most suggestions said it would be a sensor. Changing the sensor worked for 3 days before problem came back. Just 6 months ago I had to replace the water pump and thermostat housing for an overheating issue as well.
