NHTSA Complaint #11233468 — 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE

I'VE HAD MY 2014 CHEVY CRUZE FOR ABOUT 2 YEARS NOW. BACK IN DECEMBER 2018 IT STARTED HAVING A LOT OF ISSUES. ANTIFREEZE WAS POURING OUT, IT WAS SPITTING AND SPUTTERING, ROUGH IDLE,AND OVERHEATING, MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH CHEVY DEALERSHIP. THEY HAD MY CAR ABOUT A WEEK. THE SAID WATER PUMP WAS FAILING,THERMOSTAT WAS OUT, COOLER OUTLET HOSES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOT EVEN 12 HOURS LATER I WAS TAKING IT BACK IN FOR THE SAME PROBLEMS. ENGINE LIGHTS WERE STILL COMING ON. THIS TIME THEY FIXED THE OIL COOLER LINE, AND CRANKSHAFT. A FEW DAYS PASSED AND AGAIN I WAS STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. TOOK IT BACK, AND THEY FIXED THE CRANKCASE VENTALATION, CAMSHAFT COVER, INTAKE MANIFOLDINTAKE AIR PRESSURE SENSOR. MAYBE 2 WEEKS PASSED AND I FINALLY GOT UPSET AND TOOK IT 45 MINS TO ANOTHER SHOP, WITHIN A FEW HOURS I GOT A CALL THAT MY HEAD GASKET WAS BLOWN. I WAS STILL HAVING ALL THE SAME ISSUES AS I DID WHEN IT FIRST MESSED UP. I ENDED UP HAVING TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE OTHER DEALERSHIP WHO HAD BEEN WORKING ON IT. THEY KEPT ME CAR FOR 29 DAYS WHILE FIXING MY BLOWN HEAD GASKET. THEY RESURFACED IT AND FIXED CLAMPS. WELL, THURSDAY JULY 11 I WAS AT MY BOSSES HOUSE TRYING TO BACK UP UNDER A SHADE TREE. WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, IT SOUNDED HORRIBLE. IT WAS JUST SPITTING AND SPUTTERING. I OUT IT IN REVERSE AND HIT THE GAS. MY CAR STARTED ROLLING TOWARD! IT WOULD NOT BACK IT. I WENT TO HIT THE BRAKE AND IT DID NOTHING. I HAD TO PULL MY EMERGANCY BREAK BEFORE I RAN INTO HER FENSE.I IMMEDIATELY GOT ON THE PHONE WITH THE DEALERSHIP 45 MINS AWAY. SET MY APPOINTMENT UP. LATER THAT NIGHT ON THE WAY TO TAKE MY KIDS TO VBS, WE WERE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHILE TRYING TO CROSS OVER A MAIN HIGHWAY THE CAR JUST STARTED SPITTING AND SPUTTERING. IT WAS BARELY MOVING EVEN THOUGH I HAD THE GAS PEDAL TO THE FLOOR. GOT IT TO DEALERSHIP 45 MINS AWAY FRIDAY 12TH. ANOTHE BLOWN HEAD GASKET. THAT CAR IS NOT SAFE
