2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE Engine Problems

THE INTAKE MANIFOLD DESIGN ON THE TURBO ENGINES ARE FAULTY AND FAIL EVERY 40,000 MILES OR SO. GM IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND YET THERE IS NO ATTEMPT TO REDESIGN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD. THE CHECK VALVE IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD IS WHAT FAILS TO WORK. THE CHECK VALVE STOPS SEALING AND EVENTUALLY DISAPPEARS CAUSING A LEAK. THERE IS EVEN A BULLETIN DESCRIBING THE ISSUE BUT YET NO FIX BY GM. WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO FORCE GM TO FIX THEIR FAULTY DESIGNED PRODUCT?

PROBLEM NO.1, MY CRUZE HAS LOST POWER, THE HEATER PUTS OUT COLD AIR, THE RADIATOR IS LOSING FLUID, THE ENGINE HAS STARTED TO OVER HEAT, AND THERE IS WET SPOT UNDER THE EXHAUST PIPE WHEN I IDLE THE ENGINE! THAT MEANS MY CAR HAS ETHER A BLOWEN HEAD GASKET OR CRACKED HEAD! THE CAR HAS LESS THEN 85,000 MILES AND IF THE HEAD IS CRACKED, I THINK I KNOW WHY BECAUSE GM DECKED THE BLOCK THE SHORT-WAY CENTER OUT TO THE ENDS! WITCH CAN LEAVE A VALLEY IN THE CENTER OF THE BLOCK! THEY MADE THE SAME MISTAKE WITH THE GRAND AM QUAD-4! THE HEAD ALL CRACKED BETWEEN CYLINDERS 2 AND 3 BECAUSE THE BLOCK WASN'T DECKED SQUARE! I HAVE TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER ON SAT 12/29/18 WISH SOMEONE WOULD CHECK THE BLOCK, I KNOW THE DEALER WILL TRY TO BLAME MY AND TO MAKE ME PAY FOR...

UNFORTUNATELY, THIS IS THE 3RD TIME THAT MY 2014 CHEVY CRUZE HAS THIS ISSUE. MY ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON WHILE THE STABILOCK SERVICE FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD; CAR JERKS WHILE EITHER IDLE AND/OR STOPPED; A LOUD SQUEAKING NOISE FROM UNDER THE HOOD (ALL THESE ISSUES ALWAYS START AT THE SAME TIME!!). I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO CHEVY DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAVE (SUPPOSEDLY) REPLACED THE SAME PART - SHAM COVER (ACCORDING TO MY INVOICES). I TOTALLY DON'T GET WHY THIS IS A NOT A RECALL ISSUE. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO TAKE MY CAR IN FOR THE SAME ISSUE, AND OF COURSE, NOW THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED, I'M SURE IT WILL BE EVEN MORE COSTLY.... WHICH I REALLY THINK IT WILL BE THE SAME THING! (OF COURSE, I'M NOT A MECHANIC, BUT IF I'M TAKING MY CAR IN FOR THE SAME REASON AND THEY DIAGNOSE IT AND REPAIR THAT...

VEHICLE HESITATES WHEN MERGING ONTO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. THIS BEGAN HAPPENING AFTER I OWNED THE CAR FOR MORE THAN 3 YEARS WITHOUT SIMILAR INCIDENTS. ITS DANGEROUS BECAUSE JUST WHEN YOU NEED POWER TO MERGE, THE POWER DIPS INSTEAD WHICH IS POTENTIALLY LIKELY TO END IN BEING REAR-ENDED. VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED. THEY KEPT IT FOUR DAYS AND STATED THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG BECAUSE THEY FOUND NO CODES. THEY STATE IT MIGHT BE DUE TO "TURBO LAG" WHICH IS NORMAL. IT IS NOT NORMAL AS I HAVE OWNED THE CAR ALMOST 4 YEARS BEFORE THIS BEGAN HAPPENING.

THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES ON IT AND THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDS REPLACED? THE CHEVY GARAGE FOLKS TOLD MY 23 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IT COULD BREAK SUDDENLY WHILE ACCELERATING. THEY SAID IT WAS SHOT. NEXT, THEY GAVE HER A QUOTE OF OVER $900 TO REPLACE IT. THEY SAID THEIR COST WAS $750. NOT SURE WHICH IS MORE DANGEROUS, THE BAD CATALYTIC CONVERTER OR THE CHEVY GARAGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK AND THE ENGINE WOULD REV WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN UNKNOWN DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE INTAKE MANIFOLD WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES, BUT NO ASSISTANCE WAS OFFERED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

CAR WILL TURN OFF WHILE DRIVING. IVE OWNED THIS CAR FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR AND JUST STARTED DOING THIS 5 TIMES IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. THIS HAS HAPPENED WHILE ON HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC, TWICE IN TOWN IN TRAFFIC. THE CAR IS IN MOTION ON THE HIGWAY WHEN THIS HAPPENED, IT ALSO HAS HAPPENED TURNING ONTO HIGWAY WITH OTHER CARS BEHIND ME I ALMOST GOT REAR ENDED BY A CAR BEHIND ME CAUSE THE CAR LOST POWER! IT HAS ALSO TURN ITSELF OFF AND ON IN PARK. THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED BEFORE THERE IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT THAT CAUSES BODLY HARM!!! THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARRD!!! I BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THIS CAR. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALERSHIP JULY 31ST TO FIND THE ISSUE. I ALSO HAVE CONTACTED GM. I KNOW THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR IGNITION PROBLEMS CONCERNING THIS VEHILCE IN 2014, WHEN...

IT STARTED WITH THE RADIO TURNING OFF WHILE BRAKING AND THE RADIO CONTINUED TO GO OFF AND ON I CONTACTED GM WHO CLAIMS IT'S NOT AN ELECTRICAL DEFECT? FIRST ISSUE THE CAR CAN BE OFF KEYS OUT OF IGNITION AND YOU CAN PRESS THE ON BUTTON FOR THE RADIO AND IT PLAYS? NOW IT'S STARTING TO DRIVE FUNNY AND MOST RECENTLY IT STARTS WITH THE REMOTE START EVERY TIME BUT WHEN I USE THE KEY IT DOESN'T ALWAYS START? THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE!

WHEN HOT, THE ENGINE HESITATES WHEN ACCELERATING. WE LIVE IN A METROPOLITAN AREA AND WHEN ENTERING AN EXPRESSWAY THE CAR HESITATES WHEN MERGING INTO TRAFFIC. VERY DANGEROUS AND SCARY SITUATION! THIS HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN. THE GM SERVICE TECH'S SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. GRANT YOU SOMETHINGS WRONG!

FOR A LITTLE OVER A YEAR, I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE RADIO SHUTTING OFF AND ON, STABILITRAK SHOWING AS NEEDING SERVICE, THE CAR SHUDDERING, AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. I HAVE BROUGHT THE CAR INTO A MECHANIC 3 TIMES TO DETERMINE WHAT MAY BE CAUSING THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON, AND 3 TIMES THE COMPUTER SAYS AIR INTAKE. I HAVE HAD JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING CHANGED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES OFF, I DRIVE FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES, AND IT COMES BACK ON. OVER $700.00 IN REPLACEMENT PARTS AND LABOR, AND STILL THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. TODAY 7/1/2018, I DROVE DOWN TO HAVE THE OIL CHANGED AND FOR THE FIRST TIME, THE ENGINE LIGHT HAS NOT COME ON, BUT NOW THE CAR DOES NOT WANT TO START AND SOUNDS LIKE THE STARTER OR THE BATTERY IS DYING. THIS IS ABOVE AND BEYOND THE MOST FRUSTRATING CAR PROBLEM I HAVE EVERY...

I WAS DRIVING TO WORK ON THE FREEWAY AND NOTICED THE CAR WAS SWAYING AND WOBBLING ... I HAD GOT 4 BRAND NEW TIRES ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO SO I DIDN'T THINK IT WAS THAT. THE NEXT DAY, SAME THING DRIVING TO WORK BUT THIS TIME IN ADDITION TO SWAYING, IT WAS JERKING AND LOOSING POWER OR PUNCH AT TIMES WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE FOLLOWING DAY, SAME THING AGAIN, THIS TIME THERE WAS A WARNING LIGHT CHECK STABILITY TRAK, SOMETHING LIKE THAT. I ALSO NOTICED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. IT ALSO BEGAN JERKING EVEN MORE AND WHEN I PARKED IT, THE FAN WAS VERY LOUD AND RUNNING EVEN THOUGH THE CAR WAS NOT OVERHEATED. WHEN DRIVING HOME AND STOPPING AT LIGHTS, MY CAR JERKED MORE AND ONLY STOPPED TEMPORARILY WHE N IN PARKED OR IF I PRESSED ON THE GAS. I AM CONCERNED THE...

NOTORIOUS GM ISSUE - TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES. THIRD TIME MINE HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND ARE NOW LEAKING AGAIN - SUSPECT IN COLDER CLIMATES THE PART IS NOT HOLDING UP AND ESPECIALLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO DEFECTS. FLUID LEAKS OUT AND CAUSES BUILD UP ON THE LINE, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY BE A FIRE HAZARD. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL CRUZE. THE DEALER IS ASKING $400+ TO REPAIR WHAT I VIEW IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND DESIGN. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THIS IS ANOTHER PROBLEM I AM FACED TO COVER THE REPAIR BILL FOR A FAULTY DESIGN/PRODUCT. GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT WITH A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

FOR THE PAST YEAR I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH MY CAR OVERHEATING. THE SCREEN WILL DISPLAY AC OFF DUE TO HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE, FROM THEN THE SCREEN WILL GO TO ENGINE OVERHEATED IDLE ENGINE, EVERY TIME I DRIVE THESE SIGNALS COME ON, IF I STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT COLD AIR AUTOMATICALLY STARS TO KICK OUT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THREE DIFFERENT CHEVY DEALERSHIPS ALONG WITH TWO OTHER REPAIR SHOPS, I'VE HAD A NEW WATER PUMP, NEW THERMOSTAT, TIMING HOUSE SENSOR CHANGED AND RADIATOR FLUSH DONE OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR IN A HALF AND STILL TO THIS DAY NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIX IT.

WATER PUMP LEAKS AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 53,000 MILES ON IT. FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE BUT FOR SOME REASON, CHEVROLET WON'T HONOR IT AND SAYS MY VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR IT. BULLETIN #: 14371A

RADIO OR TOUCH PANEL RESTARTED THEN VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING AND MAKING VIBRATION NOISES ENIGINE NOISES ERROR LIGHT BEGAN FLASHING AND STABILITY TRACK WAS ON THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER ABOUT A MILE FURTHER DOWN THE ROAD EVERYTHING CLEARED UP TO INCLUDE THE FLASHING ENGINE LIGHT. NOW IT IS ON AGAIN AND DOESNT CLEAR UP CANNOT DRIVE IT. RECENTLY HAVE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE THE PCV COVER AND PCV TWICE, THE ENTIRE AC DELCO INTAKE DUE TO MASSIVE OIL CONSUMPOTION THE CRANK SEAL DUE TO SQUEALING THE COIL PACK AND PLUGS DUE TO A CRACKED INSULATOR AND ELECTROLISIS ON THE CONTACTS. I NOW HAVE 114,000 MILES ON IT AND READ THERE IS A RECALL ON THE BATTERY GROUNDING SYSTEM THAT CAUSES THIS CURRENT SYSTEM AND COVERS UP TO 120,000 MILES? I SEARCHED AND IT HAS 0 RECALLS ON THIS VEHICLE.

I HAVE HAVE TO HAVE A PCV VALUE COVER/INTAKE MANIFOLD REPLACED IN MY CAR 3 TIMES. MY CAR IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THAT WARRANTY WILL EXPIRE. I WILL HAVE TO HAVE IS REPLACED AGAIN AT SOME AND IT SEEMS THAT NO ONE IS ASKING WHY THIS PART HAS TO BE REPLACED SO FREQUENTLY IN A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 5 YEAR OLD. THERE IS A CODE THAT APPEARS BUT IT IS MONTHS AFTER THE CAR STARTS TO SURGE WHEN YOU TURN IT ON AND FEEL LIKE IT IS GOING TO CUT OUT WHEN IDLING. I LIVE IN THE CITY AND CANNOT HESITATE TO DRIVE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS AS IT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

I THEN CAME TO REALIZE THAT THERE WASN'T ANY COOLANT, WHEN I WAS THERE ONE 10 DAYS PRIOR AT THE DEALERSHIP TO GET MY OIL CHANGED AND THE PAPER STATED THAT ALL FLUIDS WERE CHECKED. I THEN NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP, AND PUT SOME COOLANT IN MY CAR SO I WOULDN'T CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR. THEY CHECK IT, CLAIMED THERE WASN'T ANYTHING GOING ON WITH IT. AND SENT ME HOME. I THEN HAD A COWORKER TELL ME THAT WHAT I WAS DESCRIBING WAS MY WATER PUMP. I THEN NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN THAT I WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, AND THAT I AM NOW SMELLING COOLANT IN THE CAR AND MY CAR ACT LIKE ITS READY TO STALL..

A WARNING TO CHEVY CRUZE OWNER'S MYSELF OWNING ONE, I NOTICED THE CAR LOSING ACCELERATION AND AT CERTAIN TIMES, MISFIRING FROM A CYLINDER, TO SUM IT UP, I RAN THE OBD CODE AND GOT CODE # P0304 WHICH IS ENGINE MISFIRING. I ENDED UP WAITING UNTIL THE CAR WAS COLD AND REMOVED THE T30 SCREWS TO ACCESS THE SPARK PLUGS, THE COIL PACK'S RUBBER BOOTS WERE MELTED ONTO MY SPARK PLUGS, I HAVE TAKE SUPER CARE OF THE CAR AND I NEVER WOULD OF THOUGHT OF THE COIL PACK HAVING A SERIOUS ISSUE, THIS IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING OWNER'S SHOULD BE AWARE OF. I HOPE THIS CAN GET LOOKED INTO AND A RECALL WOULD BE A HELPFUL OPTION, THOSE COIL PACKS SHOULD BE MADE DIFFERENTLY OR MAKE SOMETHING MORE DURABLE THAN PLASTIC BOOTS.

MY LAST OIL CHANGE WAS IN 12/2016 AND IS DUE AT 64,000MI.

SO NOW I FALL UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WHICH COVERS YOUR ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING MY ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO PAY $160.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THEN HAVE TO PAY ON TOP OF THAT $800 FOR AN ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE. I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WILL MARK MY 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY HAVING THIS VEHICLE...

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN GOING ON & OFF FOR YEARS. DEALERSHIP HAS NEVER BEEN ABLE TO DETERMINE WHY THIS HAPPENS. RECENTLY I HAVE NARROWED IT DOWN TO THE LIGHT COMING ON EVERY TIME I FILL UP MY CAR WITH GAS & IT IS A DIESEL. ON A RECENT TRIP TO TN MY CAR WENT INTO SAFETY MODE & I SPENT 6HRS AT A DEALERSHIP. THEY EVENTUALLY FOUND NOTHING & RE-SET THE COMPUTER. WHEN I RETURNED HOME A RECALL FOR THE VERY SAME PROBLEM WAS IN MY MAILBOX. NOW I HAVE RECEIVED ANOTHER LETTER FROM CHEVY STATING THERE IS ANOTHER PROBLEM

THIS HAPPENED AT APPROX 29,500 MILES.

MY CRUZE DIESEL AROUND 30K MILES, HAD AN ELECTRICAL ISSUE WHICH RESULTED IN THE DEALERSHIP REPLACING THE RADIO AND OTHER ELECTRICAL NODES. AROUND 40K MILES THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR WENT BAD. NONE OF WHICH WERE COVERED BY THE DEALERSHIP SO I HAD TO PAY FOR IT MYSELF. SINCE 45K MILES, THE CAR HAS RANDOMLY POPPED UP A MESSAGE SAYING THE ENGINE POWER IS REDUCED. I TRAVEL TO LARGE URBAN AREAS AND THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME IN THE WORST OF SITUATIONS AND I AM LUCKY TO BE ALIVE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. THIS NOW COMES ON OFTEN AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE CHEVY DEALERSHIP I WENT TO. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2014. SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING THE LEMON LAW

NOW THERE HAS BEEN MANY ISSUES WITH THE CAR FLASHING ISSUES ON THE DASH ABOUT DIESEL EXHAUST FLUID POOR, PARTICULATE FILTER FULL NEED REGEN, AND FINALLY POWER DECREASED, WHICH I DID NOT HAVE HARDLY ANY ACCELERATION. I FOLLOWED EVERY PROCEDURE THE OWNERS MANUAL AND CAR TOLD ME TO DO, AND STILL DID NOT REGENERATE THE PARTICULATE FILTER. THE DEALER HAD TO FORCE A REGENERATION ON THE FILTER AND ORDER A DEF HEATER. IT SEEMS THAT THERE IS MANY ELECTRICAL ISSUES WITH THIS CAR AND ONCE ONE IS REPAIRED, ANOTHER ONE APPEARS. OTHER THAN THE ELECTRICAL / COMPUTER ISSUES WHICH IS UNPREDICTABLE, IT IS A GREAT CAR SINCE...
