Water leak in trunk. Took car in 3 time to have it fixed after them doing the recall( 84279073 f-lamp kit). Every time it went in they found a leak in a different spot. 15Feb17 they found water leaking from right side of the spoiler retainer holes. Dealer removed spoiler applied double back tape and sealer. Reinstalled spoiler 02Mar17 found pin hole leak in weather strip. Dealer replaced weather strip. 01jan24 start having electrical issues. Hard starting/ running weird and finally dead battery. Had les swabs install battery and remove water in trunk. Car starts but shuts off when driving. 05mar24 Dealer finds leak coming from right side spoiler and now 1 licence plat bolt. Charged me $600. to reseal. Here we go again They could never stop/find the leak before and will not warranty previous work. Isn't this a fire/safty issue? That started the recall in the 1st place. And why wasn't drain plugs required for this yr.car. I believe it was in the newer one. I would like to know how many people had to take their car in multiple times to never have the problem truly fixed. Is this a tactic used to make consumers go away and say they fixed the recall, but never really did.
2016 Chevrolet Cruze ls rear-windshield outer brake light plastic housing has vertical crack on the right-hand side of the outer plastic housing. Upon researching, this writer found online threads and other complaints of the same issues with the outer plastic housing having a vehicle crack.
High-mount stop light leaking again after recall repair. Screw mounting high mount stop light has backed out again causing leaking onto the headliner and water collecting in the battery tub. Dealer refuses to cover cost of fixing it due to "work warranty" lapsed. Extended warranty refuses to cover it as it is classified as a 'trim piece' even though it is required by D.O.T. I shouldn't have to pay to have this fixed again as it's already a known issue that was recalled once before and their 'fix' obviously didn't work.
