2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE Engine Problems

PROBLEMS WITH CRACKED ANTIFREEZE AND WATER LEAKS.

BEEN HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE TURBO FOR SOME TIME. HAD IT FIXED ONCE AND NOW ITS GOING BAD AGAIN. WHEN YOU GO INTO PASSING GEAR IT BOGS DOWN. NOT GOOD IN HEAVY TRAFFIC. I LOVE MY CAR.AND IT HASNT GIVEN ME ANY PROBLEMS BUT THAT.

MY ENGINE IS LEAKING OIL AND MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING. AFTER I FILLED UP THE GAS TANK ONE DAY THE CAR JERKED AND THE ENGINE LIGHT NEVER WENT OFF. I'M NOT SURE WHY THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON IT WHEN APPARENTLY THESE CARS ARE NOTORIOUS FOR THESE ISSUES. JACK MAXTON TOLD ME SOME GEAR BROKE INSIDE MY TRANSMISSION. *TR

LET ME LIST ALL THAT IS WRONG WITH MY CAR: STABILLITRACK TRACTION CONTROL PURGE VALVE TIRE SENSOR TRANSMISSION LIGHTS FLICKER WHEN I COME TO A STOP AND USE MY TURN SIGNAL INTAKE MANIFOLD BRAKE BOOSTER CAR STALLS AND SOMETIMES DOESN'T EVEN WANT TO START. ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE PART OF THE RECALL FOR MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE BUT FOR SOME REASON IT SAYS MY VIN # ISN'T PART OF THE RECALL. HOW IS THAT?? *TR

THIS CAR HAS GIVE ME WAY MORE TROUBLE THAN IT IS WORTH. IT KEPT OVERHEATING EVEN WITH ANTIFREEZE IN IT. THE AC WOULD BLOW HOT AND THE CAR JERKS TERRIBLY BAD! ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE BATTERY GOT THAT FIXED. STILL OVERHEATED. THEN TOLD THERE WAS A CRACK IN THE RESERVOIR AND GOT THAT FIXED. IT BLEW HOT A WEEK LATER AND HAD SMOKE COMING OUT COULDN'T EVEN GO ACROSS MEMPHIS BRIDGE. MECHANIC SAYS IT'S THE HEAD GASKET WHICH IS LIKE A 2K LABOR TAG! *TR

MY CAR OVERHEATS EVERY TIME THE SEASONS CHANGE. ONE DAY IT WILL BE RUNNING FINE WITH NORMAL TEMPERATURE READINGS, I KEEP A CLOSE EYE ON THE TEMPERATURE DUE TO IT'S TENDENCY TO OVERHEAT, AND THEN THE NEXT MOMENT IT IS SMOKING AND IDLING MY ENGINE SECONDARY TO "HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE"

MY DAUGHTER PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AT ALAN WEBB CHEVROLET LESS THAN 2 MONTHS AGO THE VEHICLE WAS USED AND HAD 129,000 MILES ON IT. LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AFTER SHE GOT IT, THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED WHILE DRIVING AND A/C CAME ON AND WOULD NOT TURN OFF. COME TO FIND OUT THERE WAS NO ANTIFREEZE, AS THE RESERVOIR WAS BONE DRY. SHE PUT SOME ANTIFREEZE IN IT AND IT STILL OVERHEATED WHILE DRIVING A COUPLE WEEKS LATER. SHE TOOK IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC WHO STATED SHE NEEDED TO REPLACE THE HEAD GASKET. WE THEN CALLED THE DEALERSHIP TO COMPLAIN AND THEY STATED THEY HAD TO REPLACE SOME HOSES WHEN THEY FIRST RECEIVED THE CAR, SO THEY ASKED US TO BRING IT IN. THEY AGAIN REPLACED SOME HOSES, STATING THERE WAS A LEAK, WHICH THE OTHER MECHANIC SAID THERE WASN'T. THEY REPLACED A HOSE AGAIN AND PUT A CLAMP ON IT....

MY CAR STARTED JERKING, FAN RUNNING CONSTANT, AND OVER HEATING. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP DAVE GILL CHEVROLET FOR SERVICE 5 TIMES AND EVERY TIME THEY FIX AN ISSUE COMES BACK AND THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND I HAVE TO BRING IT BACK.

DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE DOING 70-80MPH AND THE CAR STARTS DINGING-STABILITRACK, TRACTION CONTROL, AND REDUCED POWER ALL COME ON AND THE CAR LOSES POWER WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND COULDN'T DRIVE FASTER THAN 5 MPH AND HAD TO GET TO THE SHOULDER OF THE ROAD WITHOUT GETTING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES DOING THE SAME SPEED. THIS VEHICLE WITH THIS ISSUE THAT CAME OUT OF NOWHERE SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN ON THE ROAD. I HAVE HAD SEVERAL ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE AND CEL LIGHTS ON BUT NOTHING THAT ALMOST COMPLETELY STOPS VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING AND ALMOST KILLS EVERYONE IN THE CAR! I GET THEY ARE TRYING TO SAVE THE ENGINE OR WHATEVER FROM FURTHER DAMAGE BUT I AM PRETTY SURE THAT I WOULD LIKE TO LIVE AND NOT KILL ANYONE ELSE IN THE PROCESS OF THIS SO CALLED SAFETY PRECAUTION THE VEHICLE TAKES ON.

THE OIL COOLER SEAL LEAKS, AND DROPS OIL ON THE EXHAUST. THIS GIVES OFF SMOKE, AND IS A FIRE HAZARD. ALSO THE FUMES FROM THE DRIPPING OIL IS SUCKED INTO THE CABIN AIR INTAKE, AND CONTAMINATES THE AIR IN THE CABIN.

I PURCHASED A CAR ON DECEMBER 19TH 2019 I PUT $4,000 DOWN ON A 2012 CHEVY CRUZE FROM A FROM A USED CAR LOT HERE IN DAYTONA BEACH FLORIDA I CANNOT GET MY OIL CHANGE THE SCREW THAT LETS THE OIL OUT OF THE OIL PAN HAS BEEN STRIPPED AND I WAS UNABLE TO GET THE OIL CHANGED BECAUSE IN ORDER TO DO THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO BREAK IT AND SPOT WELDING WOULD NEED TO BE DONE ALSO EVERY TIME I SHUT MY CAR OFF AND GO TO TURN IT BACK ON I HAVE TO GET A JUMP MY CAR BATTERY LOSES ITS ENERGY OR WHATEVER YOU WANT TO CALL IT SO IT LOSES POWER MY BATTERY THE BATTERY IS 5 YEARS OLD ALSO MY ROTORS ARE BRAND-NEW BUT MY BRAKE PADS ARE BAD AND THEY WOULD NOT WHEN I SAY THEY I MEAN AUTOVENTURE IN HOLLY HILL FLORIDA...

THE CAR DOES A LOT OF STALLING WHEN YOU'RE DRIVING IT. ALSO THE ENGIN LIGHT WILL COME ON AND STAY ON MAYBE A DAY, THEN GO OFF. JUST ON AND OFF ANYTIME. AUTOMOBILE LOSSES POWER WHEN THIS HAPPENS..

FUEL DAMPER IS LITERALLY SPRAYING A STEADY STREAM OF GASOLINE INSIDE ENGINE BAY. APPARENTLY A VERY COMMON PROBLEM BECAUSE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER EVERYWHERE I CALL. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR, AND TO HAVE HER SAFETY IN JEOPARDY IS UNACCEPTABLE. THIS VEHICLE WAS RECALLED BECAUSE OF OIL PLATE UNDER ENGINE WHICH WOULD POOL OIL AND RISK A FIRE, BUT GASOLINE SPRAYING IN ENGINE BAY HAS NO ATTENTION TO A RECALL

I HAVE A 2012 CHEVY CRUZE 1.4 TURBO ENGINE THE ISSUE IS OVER HEATING .. THIS ISSUE IS REOCCURRING.. I WAS DRIVING FOR APPROXIMATELY 10 TO 20 MINUTES WHEN THE INDICATOR ON THE DASH READS THAT THE CAR IS TO HOT YO DRIVE AND WILL SHUT DOWN LEFT ME STRANDED ON THE ROAD SIDE. I TAKE IT TO CHEVY DEALER TO LEARN THERE HAS BEEN A THERMOSTAT PROBLEM I GET THE ISSUE REPAIRD IT RUNS OK FOR A WHILE THEN AGAIN SAME PROBLEM (OVER HEATED) ONE AGAIN. TAKE AGAIN TO CHEVY DEALER THEY TELL ME IT'S THE WATER PUMP. I HAVE THE WATER PUMP REPAIRED. ALL IS OK FOR A SHORT WHILE. AGAIN THE SAME ISSUE I CALL CHEVY DEALER AGAIN TO BRING MY CAR BACK FOR THE 4TH TIME. THEY SCHEDULE MY APPT. TO LOOK AT MY CAR ONE AGAIN AND ON MY WAY TO THE DEALER CAR OVER...

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...

2012 CHEVROLET CRUZ. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO DEFECTIVE COOLANT SYSTEM. *LD THE CONSUMER STATED AFTER HAVING BOTH THE HOSES AND CLIPS REPLACED, THE MECHANIC STATED ENGINE SEAL MUST HAVE BEEN LEAKING. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE REPAIRS. *JS

IT HAS BEEN NUMEROUS TIMES WHERE I HAVE BEEN DRIVING, WHETHER IT BE ON THE HIGHWAY OR A CITY STREET, AND MY CAR GEARS HAVE SWITCHED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE LOWEST GEAR AND IT CAUSES MY VEHICLE TO JERK AND SLOW ALL THE WAY DOWN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS OTHER VEHICLES BEHIND ME.

I NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE SEEMED TO BE HAVING ISSUES WHEN I PRESSED ON THE BRAKE, SO I TOOK IT IN. I FOUND OUT THAT IT WAS A COMPLETELY UNRELATED ISSUE, AND HAD TO DO WITH A CRACK RUNNING THROUGH THE MANIFOLD. THIS WAS CAUSING OIL AND COOLANT TO LEAK ONTO THE ALTERNATOR. IF I HAD NOT CAUGHT THIS EARLY ENOUGH, THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET IT FIXED. THEY REPAIRED THE LEAK, BUT A COUPLE WEEKS LATER I NOTICED MY CAR LOSING SIGNIFICANT AMOUNTS OF COOLANT/OIL. THIS IS CAUSING OIL AND COOLANT TO AFFECT THE TURBO SETTING OF MY MANUAL CAR, AND HAS COST ME UP TO $2,000 IN REPAIRS. THIS HAS BEEN THE UNDERLYING PROBLEM AS TO WHY I HAD TO GET MY FLYWHEEL REPLACED 2 YEARS AGO, WHICH WAS ANOTHER $1,500. THIS IS ALSO WHAT CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION FAILURE 3 YEARS AGO, ANOTHER...

SOMETIMES WHEN I SLOW TO A STOP OR JUST DRIVING CAR SHUTS OFF WITHOUT WARNING. NO LIGHTS OR ANYTHING COME ON IN THE DASH SHOWING IT'S OFF. STARTS RIGHT BACK UP BUT VERY DANGEROUS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE ABRUPTLY SHUT OFF AND THE START/STOP BUTTON LIGHT FLASHED. THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE SHUT OFF VALVE FAILED AND NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN TO AUTONATION CHEVROLET OF NORTH RICHLAND HILLS (7769 BLVD 26, NORTH RICHLAND HILLS, TX 76180), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

TAKATA RECALL I HEAR A DRIPPING SOUND UNDER THE HOOD, FOLLOWED BY A SOUND LIKE THE DRIPPING IS HITTING SOMETHING HOT. ELECTRONICS SUCH AS THE RADIO, SIGNALS, AND THE ENTIRE COMPUTER SCREEN IS OUT. THE CAR IS AT THE AUTONATION SERVICE CENTER ON SECURITY BLVD. IN BALTIMORE AND THEY ARE LOOKING TO PROFIT FROM THESE DEFECTS. IT'S SAD...

OUR CHEVY CRUZE HAD STARTED SHIFTING STRANGE WHILE DRIVING, LOSING POWER AND IT WOULD START TO IDLE ROUGH, AND JUST SHUT OFF, A DAY LATER THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE RAN A CODE SCANNER ON IT TO FIND OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. 7 ERROR CODES CAME UP AND IT ALL LED TO A FAILED PCV VALVE. TWO DAYS LATER IT WAS IN THE SHOP AND WE ARE NOW FACED WITH A MAJOR REPAIR COST.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE, MY RADIO WILL SHUT OFF RANDOMLY FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS, AND WHEN IT DOES, I LOSE COMPLETE CONTROL OF THE STEERING. IT IS LIKE THE CAR SHUTS OFF BUT WHEN THE RADIO TURNS BACK ON, THEN THE CAR WILL RESTORE POWER. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY!!! AND YET, THERE IS STILL NO RECALL FOR MY SPECIFIC VIN. ALSO, FOR TWO MORNINGS IN A ROW, I HAVE NOTICED A SMELL AND SOME SMOKE COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT WILL ONLY DO IT FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND THE CAR WILL NOT OVERHEAT. I SWEAR IT IS ONE THING AFTER ANOTHER WITH THIS CAR.

ENGINE RECALL! THE ENGINE OFTEN MAKES SOUND THAT IS DIFFERENT THAN NORMAL. OVER 100,000 MILES, THE PROBLEM STARTS! WHEN NOT IN MOTION, ALTHOUGH THE ENGINE IS ON, THE VEHICLE ENGINE STOPS EVEN IN WAITING AT THE TRAFFIC LIGHT STOP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2012 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHUCK HUTTON CHEVROLET (LOCATED AT 2471 MT MORIAH RD, MEMPHIS, TN 38115, (901) 318-3703) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TURBO HEAD FAILED INTERNALLY AND WAS PUSHING EXHAUST FUEL INTO THE ENGINE CRANKCASE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE TURBO HEAD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 83,000.

OIL WAS DRIPPING, WENT TO GO GET IT FIXED AND MY MECHANIC SUPPOSEDLY FIXED IT. DROVE FOR ABOUT A MILE AND CAR STARTED SMOKING AND MY BELT WAS ON FIRE AND CRUMBLED OFF MY CAR. I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE ALMOST ONE MONTH AGO AND ONLY BEEN ABLE TO DRIVE FOR A WEEK TOTAL BECAUSE OF THIS OIL ISSUE. I AM PAYING MONEY TO FIX AND THEY STILL CAN'T TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG SO I LOOKED IT UP FOR RECALLS AND SAW THIS HAD AND RECALL JUST LIKE I EXPLAINED BUT NOT ASSOCIATED WITH MY VIN. PLEASE HELP. MY CAR IS NOW UNDRIVEABLE. I WAS DRIVING WHEN THE CAR STARTED SMOKING AND I PULLED OVER AND NOTICED THE BELT ON THE GROUND BURNING. NOT DRIVING AFTER THAT.

THE VEHICLE WILL BE DRIPPING ENGINE COOLANTS. HOSES WILL MALFUNCTION, CAUSING MULTIPLE REPLACEMENT.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING STOPPED AT ADVANCE SOON AS IT CAME AND THEN CUT THE CAR OFF AND THEN IT WOULD NOT CRANK BACK. HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO GARAGE. FOUDN OUT THAT IT WAS THE ECM COMPUTER MESSED UP AND ONLY HAVE 70,000 MILES ON THE CAR. GARAGE CALLED CHEVY AND THEY STOPPED COVERING THE COMPUTER 3 YEARS AGO DUE TO SO MANY CALLS ABOUT THE COMPUTER MESSING UP. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL THEN AND THEY WILL NOT COVER THE REPAIRS TO MY CAR.

PURCHASED MY 2012 CHEVY CRUZE MARCH OF 2016. JULY 2016 THE CAR WILL CONTINUE TO RUN AFTER THE KEY WAS OUT IGNITION I TOOK IT TO NAPERVILLE CHEVY THEY CHANGED THERMOSTAT. OCTOBER 2016 THE CAR WOULD RUN ON HIGHWAY OR STREET ALL OF A SUDDEN SERVICE TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON THE CAR ONLY GO TO 20MPH SUDDENLY THEN IT WILL TURN OFF. TOOK IT TO CHEVY AGAIN THEY SAID TRANS MODULE THEY FIXED IT MARCH 2017 IT HAPPENED AGAIN THEY DIDN'T KNOW THE PROBLEM BECAUSE NO ENGINE LIGHT ON IT HAPPENED EVERY 4 MONTHS OCTOBER 2018 TRANS LINE LEAKING WITH THE SAME SIGN NO FASTER THAN 20MPH JERKING THEY FIXED LINES JANUARY 2019 CAR JERKING AGAIN CAR GOES 20 MPH BUT THE CAR WILL STOP AT STOP SIGN AND WILL I ACCELERATE TO GO THE CAR WON'T MOVE AT ALL I HAVE TO TURN IT OFF TO DRIVE AGAIN

TURBO CHARGER VALVE FAILED CAUSING MULTIPLE OTHER ISSUES. CAR SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY. STABILITY TRACK KEEPS COMING ON EVEN AFTER THE WIRE TO THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED.

MY BRAKES KEEP GOING "HARD" AND NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. ABOUT A YEAR AGO I HAD MY MASTER CYLANDER, BRAKE BOOSTER, MICROSWITCH IN THE BRAKE VACUUM LINE, MAF SENSOR AND AIR INTAKE HOSE REPLACED BECAUSE THE MECHANIC SAID THOSE WERE THE ISSUES, I WENT 2 WEEKS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE, INCLUDING BREAKING DOWN FOR MULTIPLE DAYS OUT OF STATE. NOW HERE I AM WITH THE SAME ISSUES. BEFORE I HAD THEM REPLACED I WAS TOLD THAT THE MICROSWITCH IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS ALREADY RECALLED AND REPLACED. BUT SINCE THEN IT HAS FAILED AGAIN. I WAS TOLD BY CHEVY THAT THEY ONLY DO THE RECALL ONCE, BUT IF THEY ARE REPLACING IT WITH A FAULTY PART SHOULDN'T THAT BE RECALLED AGAIN? I HAVE TWO TODDLERS IN MY VEHICLE REGULARLY AND LOSING THE POWER BRAKES COULD END VERY BAD. THE POWER BRAKES FAIL ALMOST EVERY DAY, USUALLY THE FIRST TIME I HIT THE...

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY TURBO. AFTER TAKING IT TO MY MECHANIC I AM TOLD THAT IT IS A COMMON ISSUE

CAR WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, READY TO MAKE A LEFT-TURN AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF FOR NO REASON. IT TURNED ON AFTER SOME MINUTES BUT THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE (HTTPS://WWW.CARGURUS.COM/CARS/DISCUSSION-T65940_DS765514) OF THE SAME ISSUE WITH THIS MAKE AND MODEL (INCLUDING NEWER ONES), A LOT BEING WHILE THE CAR IS ACTUALLY DRIVING. THIS IS SO DANGEROUS!! WE DON'T FEEL SAFE CONTINUING TO OPERATE THE CAR SINCE FINDING OUT IT'S A RECURRENT PROBLEM FOR PEOPLE WITH THIS CAR WHO HAVE HAD NO RESOLUTION EVEN AFTER FILING MULTIPLE CLAIMS WITH CAR COMPANY AND TAKING IT TO THE MECHANIC.

OVERHEATS REGULARLY EVEN WITH ANTIFREEZE, STOPS READING COOLANT TEMPERATURE RANDOMLY

CAR WAS LIKE NEW FOR A FEW MONTHS, DRIVEN TO AND FROM ORLANDO MAYBE 4 TIMES, BUT MOSTLY USE IT FOR WORK TO TAKE MY DAUGHTER TO SCHOOL THEN IT STARTED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEING ON, THEN SHORTLY, CAR STARTED JERKING WHILE PARKED, OR ON BRAKE, AND THE "CHECK STABILI TRACK CONTROL" LIGHT COMES ON, AND THEN WOULD JUST TURN OFF. I WOULD START SMELLING A VERY STRONG BURNT SMELL BUT NO OIL WAS FALLING TO THE FLOOR, BUT ONCE I STOPPED DRIVING THERE WOULD'VE SMOKE EVERYWHERE. WAS TOLD THERE IS A VACUUM LEAK COMING FROM PCV WHICH IS BUILT IN VALVE COVER...HAVE HAD VALVE COVER CHANGED 3 TIMES IN 3 WEEKS AND EACH TIME, IT LOOKED LIKE SOMEONE DIED UNDER MY HOOD AND BLED OIL! AM TOLD THAT THERE IS TOO MUCH PRESSURE COMING IN AND SO CAUSES OIL TO FIND A WAY OUT AND LEAKS IT SPILLS...

I TOOK IT TO FIRESTONE FOR AN INSPECTION BECAUSE I WAS HAVING ISSUES WITH MY CAR AND WAS TOLD THAT I HAD A FAULTY CYLINDER HEAD.

I JUST WANT TO START OFF BY SAYING WE PURCHASED THIS CAR BRAND NEW FROM KOCOUREK CHEVROLET IN WAUSAU, WI. DEC 2012 OR JAN 2013 BUMPER FELL OFF WITHIN 3 MONTHS OF PURCHASE WHILE DRIVING. YES, FELL OFF. THE DEALERSHIP WHERE WE PURCHASED THE CAR HESITANTLY REPLACED IT AS THE CLIPS WERE BROKE OFF. DEC 2012 TRUNK BUTTON DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY - HAS BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES (BY KOCOUREK). AND NOT IT HAS RECENTLY ONCE IT OPENS, IT WILL NOT CLOSE DESPITE BEING SLAMMED SHUT 8 TO 10 TIMES. OCT 2012 HAD AN ANTIFREEZE LEAK FROM DAY ONE - DEALERSHIP TELLS US THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING EVEN WHEN POINTED OUT. I GO THOUGH A GALLON OF DEXOS ANTIFREEZE EVERY 2 WEEKS. BUT AS THE DEALERSHIP SAYS, THAT'S FINE AND NORMAL.... UM... NOT TO ME!!!! JAN 2018 - THE CAR STALLS OUT CONSTANTLY - REDUCED ENGINE POWER, WHILE DRIVING ON...

CATALAYIC CONVERTER PLUGGED AT 82000 MILES WHICH CAUSED ENGINE KNOCK NOISE

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN 2015, IT IS A 2012 CHEVY CRUZE ECO. I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE CAMSHAFT COVER(PCV) 2 TIMES IN A YEAR DUE TO THE GASKET BEING CRAP AND CAUSING HORRIBLE OIL LEAKS! HERE I AM AGAIN, CHANGED IT AND IT IS AGAIN FAULTY AND LEAKING OIL. THIS NEEDS TO BE WARRANTY AND COVERED BY GM. I'VE ALREADY HAD TO DO THE WATER PUMP MYSELF BECAUSE THEY WOULDN'T FIX THE WATER PUMP AT ANY DEALER. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THE OIL LEAK, AND NEEDS TO HAVE A RECALL TOO FIX ANYTHING, CAUSING THIS PROBLEM.

AC AUTO SHUTOFF TEMP TO HIGH MESSAGE COMES ON L. I HAVE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT ALREADY THREE TIMES. THEN THE CAR WON'T START. DISCONNECT THE GROUND AND PUT IT BACK ON AND IT STARTS JUST FINE. YOU CAN DRIVE IT FOR A WHILE THEN AC OFF COMES BACK IN AND START THE PROCESS AGAIN.

MY VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AND NO RUNNING. I ENTERED THE VEHICLE AND STARTED IT. THE SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT FLASHED THEN THE SERVICE STABILITRAK LIGHT FLASHED THE LIGHTS WENT AWAY AND THE VEHICLE DROVE FINE. SEVERAL DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED UPON ENTERING MY DRIVEWAY IT STARTED TO SPUTTER. FOUR DAYS AFTER THAT UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE THE SAME LIGHTS CAME ON IN ADDITION TO THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. NOW WHEN I START MY VEHICLE THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND AFTER THE VEHICLE IS WARMED UP THE OTHER TWO LIGHTS COME ON AND THEN GO OFF. MY LATEST ONSTAR DIAGNOSTIC REPORTS A PROBLEM WITH THE ECM. I HAS BEEN ALMOST EXACTLY THREE YEARS TO THE DATE THAT THESE SAME THINGS HAPPENED AND WERE SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED UNDER RECALL # 14801 AND SPECIAL COVERAGE # 14311B. PLEASE ADVISE.
