Consumer Description
I HAVE AN 2013 CHEVY CRUZE 2LT 1.4L ENGINE. I DISCOVERED AN OIL LEAK UPON MY LAST OIL CHANGE AT 55,000 MILES. RECENTLY I DISCOVERED A SECOND OIL LEAK AT THE VALVE COVER AT 60,000 MILES. I TOOK IT TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP TO HAVE DIAGNOSED AND THEY CONFIRMED A MULTI LOCATION OIL LEAK, ONE AT THE CAM COVER AND THE SECOND AT THE VALVE COVER. SINCE THIS VEHICLE IS UNDER STANDARD MILEAGE FOR THE AGE, THIS SEEMS TO BE AN INDICATION OF DEFECT AND NOT UNDER NORMAL MAINTENANCE. I AM LOOKING TO HAVE THIS COVERED BY GM UNDER EXTENDED SPECIAL PARTS WARRANTY LIKE THE WATER PUMP IS COVERED. I ALSO HAD A OIL COOLER FAIL AND A WATER OUTLET ASSEMBLY FAIL AT 40,000 JUST OUTSIDE OF THE FACTORY WARRANTY, BUT THAT JUST HAPPENED TO BE COVERED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT DOES NOT CHANGE THE FACT THAT ANOTHER FAILURE HAPPENED IN TWO'S. I HAVE A CASE # WITH GM AND IT IS [XXX]CAM SHAFT COVER SEAL AND VALVE COVER GASKET FAILURE. FEEL FREE TO CALL ME, [XXX] AT [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
