NHTSA Complaint #11280533 — 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE

ENGINE HAS LOUD INJECTOR AND PURGE VALVES BOTH PRODUCING A CLICKING NOISE. THE NOISE CAN CLEARLY BE HEARD FROM INSIDE/OUTSIDE CAR WITH HOOD CLOSED. THIS ISSUE IS TRIGGERING A KNOCK SENSOR CODE. THE CAR HAS ALWAYS HAD BURNING OIL SMELL AS WELL WHICH WHILE UNDER WARRANTY THE DEALERSHIP MAGICALLY COULD NOT PRODUCE. I BELIEVE THEY DID NOT WANT TO PRODUCE IT AS IT HAS ALWAYS CLEARLY BEEN THERE FROM DAY ONE OFF DEALER'S LOT. I KNOW FOR FACT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE TO EXPERIENCE THESE ISSUES. I AM ADDING THE WEBSITE AS REFERENCE; HTTPS://WWW.CRUZETALK.COM/THREADS/LIFTER-ISSUE-WITH-2012-ECO.165122/ THIS NOISE IS PRESENT WHEN VEHICLE IS IDLE, RUNNING AND IN MOTION. MY VEHICLE HAS 88,000 MILES TOTAL WHICH IS VERY LITTLE FOR ENGINE ISSUES! THE DEALERSHIP I TOOK IT TO FOR DIAGNOSIS SAID HIS DAUGHTER'S CRUZE HAD THE SAME IDENTICAL ISSUE AND WAS COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. UNFORTUNATELY, AS I STATED, THE DEALER COULD NEVER FIND ANY ISSUES WHILE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. I AM CONCERNED I WILL BE LEFT STRANDED SOMEWHERE WITH THIS VEHICLE AND/OR IT CATCHES ON FIRE DUE TO SOME SORT OF OIL/ENGINE ISSUE.
