2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE Engine Problems

PURCHASED VEHICLE USED 8/2017. 5/2018 CAR SMOKING AND OVERHEATING WHILE DRIVING. WATER PUMP REPLACED. STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH CAR OVERHEATING WHILE DRIVING, I WAS REPLACING COOLANT ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. TWICE THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING WAS REPLACED, 8/2018 AND 11/2018. CAR HAD ISSUES AGAIN OVERHEATING WHILE DRIVING IN 4/2019. AN INTERCOOLER PIPE, PVC PIPE, WATER PIPE, AND WATER HOSE WERE REPLACED. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN IN 9/2019, MANY ISSUES WERE FOUND BUT I ONLY HAD ENOUGH MONEY TO REPAIR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. AT THIS POINT I WAS REPLACING COOLANT EVERY TWO WEEKS TO AVOID THE ENGINE OVERHEATING AND AT TIMES IT WAS A VISIBLE PUDDLE COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR. 11/20/2019 I RETURNED TO GET A SENSOR AND ANOTHER THERMOSTAT HOUSING REPLACED. 11/27/2019 I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP AFTER MY VEHICLE BEGAN SMOKING WHILE DRIVING. I PULLED OVER AND COOLANT WAS QUICKLY DRIPPING OUT FROM...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS LEAKING COOLANT/ANTI FREEZE, WHICH HAD TO BE REPLENISHED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS DUE TO A WATER PUMP FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS WORKING FINE, I DROVE IT THE NIGHT PRIOR BACK HOME AND PARKED IT IN MY GARAGE LIKE I NORMALLY DO. WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE THE NEXT MORNING, THE CAR WOULD NOT START. THE ENGINE WOULDN'T EVEN TURN OVER BUT THE RADIO AND WHAT NOT WOULD TURN ON. WE TRIED JUMPING THE CAR, CHARGING THE BATTERY, CHANGING THE BATTERY OUT AND NOTHING WORKED. WE GOT IT TOWED TO THE AUTO SHOP AND THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIX THE VEHICLE AS IT'S ELECTRICAL. WE LIVE IN THE DESERT AND THE CLOSEST DEALER IS OVER AN HOUR AWAY IN PALM SPRINGS SO NOW WE HAVE TO GET THE VEHICLE TOWED THERE, AT OUR EXPENSE, TO TRY AND GET IT LOOKED AT

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 11/05 AND THAT AFTERNOON THE CAR STARTED TO IDLE HARD AND SPUTTER WHEN STOPPED. THE ERROR CODES READ FOR A MAF SENSOR; HAD THAT AND THE ENGINE AIR FILTER REPLACED, AND THE CAR STILL SPUTTERED BUT THE LIGHT WENT OUT. I PURCJASED THE CAR IN 2015, IT HAD 2300 MILES AT THE TIME, AND WOULD MAKE NOTICEABLE ENGINE NOISE SOON AFTER. I TOOK IT BACK BUT THE DEALERSHIP MECHANICS SAID THAT IT WAS A SENSOR AND NOT TO WORRY UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON; THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE THE MAF. ON 11/12/2019, THE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. ALSO, THE STABILLITRAK LIGHT COMES ON/OFF.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CAR STARTED BLOGGING DOWN DROPPING RPMS WHILE DRIVING, AS I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR WOULD DROP RPMS AND THEN GO ABOVE THEN NORMAL IDLE RPMS BUT SEEMED TO WANT TO GO WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BREAK. . WHEN THE CAR IS OFF THE CODE IS READING THE THROTTLE POSITION AT 16.5% WHEN IT SHOULD BE AT ZERO! WHEN THE CAR IS ON THE THROTTLE POSITION READS AT 40% NOT 100%. IT IS A HUGE CONCERN CONSIDERING THE THROTTLE CAN GET STUCK AT ANY POINT AND THEIR GOES MY LIFE AS WELL AS MY 2 YEAR OLDS LIFE.

I NOTICED ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING THAT MY ENGINE WAS RUNNING VERY HOT. WHEN I ARRIVED TO MY DESTINATION, I POPPED THE HOOD AND DISCOVERED EXTREMELY LOW COOLANT LEVEL. ALSO NOTICED FLUID LEAKING FROM UNDER MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP TO BE EVALUATED. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY WATER PUMP & THERMOSTAT. I AM ONLY AT 41,000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, AN ABNORMAL ODOR WAS DETECTED AND SMOKE APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FELIX CHEVROLET (3330 S FIGUEROA ST, LOS ANGELES, CA 90007, (213) 290-1925) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TURBO ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THERE WAS ALSO EVIDENCE OF OIL RESIDUE BEING DISPERSED THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,841.

ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) KEEPS GOING OUT. HAD TO REPLACE IT TWICE IN 1 YEAR AND POSSIBLY AGAIN SOON. THE CAR WOULD START, IT WOULD SHAKE A LITTLE BIT WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY, THE AC WOULD STOP WORKING AS WELL. IF I MADE FREQUENT STOPS (RUNNING ERRANDS) IT WOULD EVENTUALLY NOT START AGAIN. I WOULD HAVE TO LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO START AGAIN. DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THAT IT WAS THE ECM BUT CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT KEEPS BURNING OUT. SO FAR THE WARRANTY HAS COVERED THIS BUT NOW IT DOES NOT. THE CAR HAD 9000 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT.

INTERNAL SQUEAKING SOUND WHEN IDLING OR WHEN ACCELERATING. MECHANIC COULDNT SOLVE TO RECOMMENDED GOING TO DEALERSHIP. THEY DIAGNOSED AS FAULTY IGNITION COIL AND LOOSE SPARK PLUG. I LATER FOUND OUT THERE IS A SERVICE BULLETIN AS THIS IS A KNOW ISSUE ON CHEVYS HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2014/SB-10090461-2280.PDF

I GOT MY CHEVY CRUZE LESS THAN 3 YEARS AGO. ON TUESDAY MY CAR TURN ON THE ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY CAR STARTED SHAKING,LINKING AND SMOKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HWY. I WENT TO THE LEADER ON THURSDAY BECAUSE I GOT SCARED. DENNY TOLD I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR LIKE THAT FOR MY SAFETY. I LEFT MY CAR IN THE LEADERSHIP. IT'S BEING 4 DAYS WITHOUT ANSWER. MY CAR HAVE FULL GUARANTEED AND THEY OFFERED ME A COURTESY CAR. SO THERE ME WITHOUT ANSWERS AND NOT CAR. I WENT TO THE LEADER AND DENNY ANSWER IT THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THE CAR GOING TO BE FIX, BUT THAT IF I WANT I CAN TAKE THE CAR WITH ME. I JUST CAN BELIEVE NO ONE CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMER SAFETY. HE TOLD ME I COULDN'T DRIVE MY CAR LIKE THAT NOW HE DOESN'T CARE IF I...

MY CAR STARTED SHAKING, SMOKING AND LICKING WHILE DRIVING. AT FIRST IN THE DEALER TOLD I WON'T BE ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR LIKE THAT. NOW AFTER 3 DAYS WITHOUT ANSWER THEY WANTS TO TAKE THE CAR WITHOUT FIXING THE CAR. I'M SCARE TO DRIVE A CAR THAT IS SHAKING. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT MY LIFE SAFETY

TURBO HAD TO BE REPLACED AT APPROXIMATELY 50K MILES. THE MALFUNCTION NEARLY CAUSED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT ON THE FREEWAY, AND WAS NOT DRIVABLE UNTIL FIXED. NOW, AT 73K MILES, THE VEHICLE SLOWED DOWN AFTER STUTTERING ON THE FREEWAY WHILE MY 18 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS DRIVING IT HOME LAST NIGHT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON, AND IT IS NOT DRIVEABLE AGAIN. THIS IS HOW IT ACTED THE FIRST TIME THE TURBO WENT OUT. RECENTLY I HAVE WORRIED ABOUT TURNING LEFT WHEN CARS ARE EVEN SOMEWHAT CLOSE, AS IT LOSES POWER.

WHEN STARTING THE CAR, A PREVIOUSLY USED 2015 CHEVY CRUZE LT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE MESSAGES 'SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL' AND 'SERVICE STABILITRAK' APPEARED. WHEN DRIVING, THERE WAS A NOTICEABLE REDUCTION IN ACCELERATION POWER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND WAS DIFFICULT TO CRANK. ALSO, WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO RESPOND AND DID NOT MOVE. FURTHERMORE, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT CALLED TURAN FOLEY CHEVROLET BUICK (1123-B US 49, GULFPORT, MS 39503, (228) 206-0289), BUT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000. THE VIN WAS INVALID.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO RUN HOT AND THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WATER OUTLET WAS BREAKING APART AND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO RUN HOT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BEST CHEVROLET (2600 VETERANS MEMORIAL BLVD, KENNER, LA 70062, (504) 315-7790) WHERE THE DEFECT WAS OFFICIALLY DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE CHEVROLET MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50-55 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE THERMOSTAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WERE MINERAL DEPOSITS IN THE ENGINE AND ALSO THE WATER PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT WAS CONCERNED THAT THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING TO INDICATE THAT THE ENGINE WAS OVERHEATED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000.

PURCHASED NEW. REPEATED FAILURES OF COOLANT RESERVOIR, REPLACE TURBOCHARGER 2X, REPLACED WATER PUMP, TANK REPLACEMENT, INTAKE MANIFOLD, VALVE COVER AND PCV PIPE, AND NOW ANOTHER FAILURE, HEAD GASKET FAILURE.

THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDS REPLACED BUT UNABLE TO BE REPLACED DUE TO VEHICLE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE

I HAD STOPPED AT THE STORE. WHEN I CAME OUT AND STARTED MY CAR. IT INSTANTLY MADE A LOUD WHISTLING NOISE. I OPENED THE HOOD NOTHING OBVIOUS. WHEN LEFT I PULLED OUT ON THE MAIN HIGHWAY AND IT STALLED. PROBLEM WAS THE PCV VALVE IN THE INTAKE MANIFOLD CAUSING SEVERAL OTHER MAJOR ISSUES AFTER THE FAILURE

VEHICLE WAS DRIVING DOWN HIGHWAY AT 45 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I RECEIVED A CHIME ALARM TELLING ME MY CAR WAS OVERHEATED. NO WARNING BEFORE THIS OF LOW COOLANT. DIAGNOSED AS A FAILED WATER PUMP. DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND COME TO FIND OUT SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THIS HAPPENING TO THIS YEAR AND MAKE OF VEHICLE. MY CAR HAS 57,000 MILES ON IT AND MANY COMPLAINTS HAVE BEEN SENT OUT BY OTHERS OF THIS ISSUE. I THINK ITS TIME TO TAKE ACTION AS THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A BIG PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. I WAS PROUD TO BUY A CHEVY CRUZE AND FEEL ASHAMED OF MYSELF FPR NOT LOOKING UP ISSUES BEFORE I BOUGHT IT.VEHICLE WENT I TO LIMP MODE WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE AND COULD HAVE CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT.

THE FRONT CRANK SHAFT SEAL IS BAD. IT MAKES THE ENGINE MAKE A VERY LOUD CHIRPING NOISE WHEN IT WARMS UP. IF YOU PULL THE OIL DIPSTICK OUT IT STOPS. I'VE HAD TO KEEP MY DIPSTICK OUT SO THAT IT DOESN'T CHIRP. IT'S CAUSING OTHER ISSUES WITH CAR. LIKE STABILITY CONTROL, FUEL MILEAGE AND HAVING TO CHANGE OIL MORE OFTEN. I'VE BEEN TRYING TO GET IT FIXED BUT HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO. I'M AFRAID THAT IT IS DAMAGING THE ENGINE MORE THAN NECESSARY. FROM WHAT I'VE LEARNED CHEVY IS AWARE THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE CRUZE. BUT NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED TO FIX THIS. SERVICE BULLETIN P11297B, 2-2015

WATER PUMP LEAKED, REPLACED THAT. HOSE TO THE WATER PUMP LEAKED, REPLACED THAT. NOW BLOWN HEAD GASKET. BREAKS HAVE SQUEAKED SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR.

MY CHEVY CRUZE LT WILL SHOW A MESSAGE ON THE DASH READING AC OFF DUE TO HIGH ENGINE TEMP. AND ANOTHER MESSAGE SAYING ENGINE OVERHEATING IDLE ENGINE. NO MECHANIC CAN FIGURE OUT THE ISSUE AND THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN HAPPENING THE LAST TWO YEARS 2018 AND THIS YEAR 2019. MY AC IS NOT TURNED ON WHEN THIS MESSAGE APPEARS. IT TAKES ALL MY RADIATOR FLUID FROM THE RESERVOIR LEAVING MY FLUID EMPTY. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE THROUGH FORUMS REGARDING THE SAME PROBLEM OTHER CHEVY CRUZE OWNERS ARE HAVING AS WELL. HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I HAVE.

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME IN 2 WEEKS I RUN IN TO SAME ISSUES DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER (DIC) DISPLAYED: (1) POWER STEERING ISSUES (2) TRACTION CONTROL (3) STIBILTRACK (4) RPM GAUGE GOES NUTS (5) OIL LEVEL ZEROES OUT THEN REAPPEARS (6) SPEED METER BLANK OUT (7) RADIO (MP3 USB PLAYER STOPS WORKING ) (8) HEAD LIGHT FLICKER (HIGH BEAMS LOOK LIKE LOW BEAMS AND LOW BEAMS LIKE DIMMERS (9) STEERING WHEEL VIBRATES AND GETS STIFF BUT STILL DRIVE ABLE (10) DOES THIS FOR 1HR TO 3 HR CAR ACTS NORMAL BUT GOES NUTS AND LOSE GAS AT A 2GAL EVERY 15 MIN NORMALLY IT LAST LONGER BUT THEN GOES BACK TO CLOSE TO WHERE IT WAS BEFORE THIS STATED DEALER REPLACED THE PCV VALE HEAD AS HE SAID IT HAD A AIR LEAK ??? MILE ON CAR 71,000 USED AS A PERSONAL CAR AND LAST 1 1/2 AS A LYFT...

HAVE HAD TO CHANGE OUT THE THERMOSTAT THREE (3) TIMES IN ONE YEAR (MARCH 2018 TO MARCH 2019).

TRIED TWICE, CAR DID NOT START. NO LIGHTS JUST DEAD. TRIED ONCE MORE STARTED, ALL LOOKED OK. DROVE 1/4 MILE ENGINE DIED WITH A CLUNK AND JERK, SERVICE POWER STEERING WARNING CAME ON, THEN SERVICE TRACTION CONTROL WARNING CAME ON. STEERED OFF ROAD (POWER STEERING WAS WORKING) PUT VEHICLE IN PARK, TRIED TO START SEVERAL TIMES. INTERIOR LIGHT CAME ON BUT WOULD NOT START. AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES TRIED AGAIN, STARTED AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS LIT. DROVE TO HOME AND WHILE IN REVERSE TO PARK, ENGINE DIED AGAIN.

TAKATA RECALL. THE PROBLEM IS OUR WATER PUMP. THE CAR ONLY HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT. WE HAD IT FIXED BY A MECHANIC BUT CAN STILL SMELL ANTIFREEZE THE SAME SMELL WHEN THE WATER PUMP WENT OUT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. HOPEFULLY YOU PEOPLE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT OR IF THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT COST US A LOT OF MONEY AND HAD TO CANCEL APPOINTMENTS BECAUSE OF IT. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN BY MY WIFE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN SHE NOTICED SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY HEAT PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY AND SAW LOTS OF FLUID AROUND THE ENGINE WITH A STRONG SMELL OF ANTIFREEZE.

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED MY VEHICLE WASN'T GIVING OUT MUCH HEAT, I WAS FREEZING AND I EVEN LET MY CAR HEAT UP BEFORE LEAVING. SOON A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING "AC OFF DUE TO HIGH ENGINE TEMP" IT WAS THEN I LOOKED AND NOTICED MY TEMPERATURE GAGE AND REALIZED MY CAR WAS OVERHEATING. I GOT IT HOME SHUT IT OFF AND THE FAN WAS STILL GOING. SO I STARTED MY CAR AGAIN, LOOKED AT THE GAGES TO SEE THAT EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. I PROCEEDED TO TURN MY CAR BACK OFF AND THIS TIME THE FANS TURNED OFF. DOING SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY CASES IN WHICH THIS IS HAPPENING WITH OTHER 2015 MODELS AND ALSO WITHIN 2014 BACK TO 2012. HOPING THIS IS AN ISSUE CHEVY CAN MAKE RIGHT.

CAR JERKS AND SHAKES DUE TO ENGINE MALFUNCTION. ENGINE HAS A MANAFUCTERS CRACK AND IT SHAKES WHILE STATIONARY AND MOVING

TAKATA RECALL. I HAVE A CONCERN THAT CHEVY CRUZE MIGHT HAVE AN ISSUE WITH THE TURBO OF THE VEHICLE. MY CAR IS 3 YEARS OLD AND HAS NOW EXPERIENCED A TURBO ISSUE. I PERSONALLY KNOW OF 2 OTHER VEHICLE OWNERS WITHIN MY AREA THAT IS CURRENTLY GOING THROUGH THE SAME ISSUE.

WATER PUMP FAILURE. THE RECALL ON THE CRUZE IS FOR THE YEARS PRIOR AND STILL AN ISSUE FOR THE 2015 MODEL.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVY CRUZE DOWN THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED THAT THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CAR WAS GOING UP PAST THE NORMAL POINT AND THAT THE HEATER WAS NO LONGER WORKING. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER THE DISPLAY SAID "A/C TURNED OFF DUE TO EXCESSIVE ENGINE HEAT" AND THEN THE CAR PROCEEDED TO GO INTO "LIMP" MODE WHERE IT COULD NO LONGER BE DRIVEN AND TOLD ME TO PULL OVER AND ALLOW IT TO IDLE. AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO WITH THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE NOT GOING DOWN, I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND HAD IT TOWED TO A GM CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO REPORTED THAT THE WATER PUMP HAD GONE OUT AND THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN LEAKING COOLANT.

APPRX. 29000 MILES. PROB. 1: HEATER STOPPED WORKIING, PROB. 2: VENT BLOWER MOTOR MAKING LOUD TINKING NOISE. PROB 3: FEEL PULSATING INTERMITTENTLY WHILE DRIVING, GOT REALLY BAD AND SERVICE STABILITRAK DISPLAY APPEARED. GOT TO DESTINATION, CAR PARKED COUPLE HOURS. UPON STARTING CAR AND PUTTING IN DRIVE WITH LIGHT ACCELERATION IT WOULDN'T MOVE, ACCELERATE MORE WOULD JUMP FORWARD THEN LOCK UP. NEXT DAY HAD CAR TOWED TO DEALER. PICKED CAR UP 7 DAYS LATER, IT DRIVES BUT NOW MAKES CHIRPING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING WITH BREAK COMPLETELY DEPRESSED, BREAK LINE CHIRPING AS WELL. WILL BRING BACK TO DEALER. ALL REPAIRS COVERED BY WARRANTY. 1 MONTH WARRANTY LEFT.

WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, I NOTICED ENGINE COOLANT LEAKAGE HAD OCCURRED. ALL THE COOLANT HAD BEEN EVACUATED FROM THE RESERVOIR ONTO THE PAVEMENT. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO THE MECHANIC SHOP AND EVALUATED. MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE WATER PUMP HAD LEAKED ALL THE COOLANT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED ALONG WITH THE THERMOSTAT. ACCORDING TO SERVICE BULLETIN 14371A, ONLY MODEL YEAR 2011-2014 ARE AFFECTED. I BELIEVE THAT MODEL YEAR 2015 SHOULD BE ADDED.

MY CAR HAS A "KNOCKING" SOUND, I'VE BEEN TOLD IT'S MY "LIFTERS" AND THAT MY CAR IS TOO NEW TO SOUND LIKE THIS ALREADY! I AM THE FIRST OWNER AND I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP SINCE DAY ONE FOR OIL CHANGES OR ANY OTHER ISSUES

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING AT 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD NOISE WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MIDAS, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND UNABLE TO PROVIDE ASSISTANCE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

I WAS EXPERIENCING TROUBLE WITH ACCELERATING AND I PULLED OVER AND THE ENGINE BURST INTO FLAME AND TOTALED MY CAR. CALLED 911 AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT INT OUT.

OUR 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE STARTED IDLING AT HIGH RPMS, HAD TROUBLE SHIFTING AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WE TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM SO THEY RESET THE CODE. IT STARTED AGAIN AFTER ABOUT TWO WEEKS SO WE TOOK IT TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC SHOP. THEY SAID IT WAS THE PCV VALVE AND THAT THEY HAVE SEEN A LOT OF CRUZE' WITH THIS PROBLEM.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE PULLING INTO THE DRIVEWAY, STRONG FUMES EMITTED INSIDE THE VEHICLE AND WITHIN THE AIR VENTS. THE CONTACT TURNED OFF THE AIR CONDITIONER AND THE ENGINE OVERHEATING WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, AND SMOKE ENTERED THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO TURN OFF THE VEHICLE AND SHE AND A CHILD PASSENGER EXITED THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER (GORDON CHEVROLET, 6301 E ROOSEVELT BLVD, PHILADELPHIA, PA 19149, (215) 537-2377) WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND ASKED THE CONTACT TO HAVE ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE TOW THE VEHICLE TO THEM FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESINT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,148.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE, IT BEGAN TO SPUTTER AND HESITATE. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,250.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH, SMOKE APPEARED FROM THE ENGINE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE LEAKED OIL ONTO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED AS NEEDING THE ENGINE OIL FILTER COVER SEAL AND CAP SEAL REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 6,650.

I PURCHASED THIS 2015 CRUZ WITH 18,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE FROM LEE JOHNSON CHEVROLET IN KIRKLAND, WA. IT HAS BEEN BACK TO THE MECHANIC 3 SEPARATE TIMES WITH A COMPLAINT THAT THIS VEHICLE EXCELERATES SPORADICALLY AND WITHOUT NOTICE. THERE IS NO FAULT CODES THAT COME UP. THE MECHANICS DRIVE IT BUT THIS DOES'NT HAPPEN TO HIM, THEREFORE THEY STATE THAT THIS IS NOT A PROBLEM. I FEEL TOTALLY UNSAFE WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS CAR. ( I DRIVE WITH ONE HAND ON THE GEARSHIFT IN CASE THIS HAPPENS SO I CAN PUT IT IN NEUTRAL IMMEDIATELY. I WANT THIS COMPLAINT TO GO ON RECORD THAT I HAVE FILED THIS CLAIM AS WELL AS WORKED WITH THE MECHANICS ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS AND FEEL AS IF I HAVE NO RECOURSE FOR WHAT I CONSIDER A SERIOUS PROBLEM

SINCE OWNING MY NEW 2015 CRUZE I HAVE HAD SEVERAL CONCERNS WHICH HAVE NOT BEEN ADDRESSED OF FIXED BY THE TECHNICIANS THE LIST IS: WHILE TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD MY RADIO SYSTEM HAS BLACKED OUT; SHUT OFF AND RESTARTED ITSELF; IT HAPPENS EVERY OTHER TIME I AM IN THE CAR, SOMETIME IT HAPPENS SEVERAL TIME ON A LONG DRIVE. I HAVE ALSO EXPERIENCE DRIFTING OF THE CAR WHEN TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY; WHEN I CORRECT THE DRIFT THE STEERING WHEEL IS STIFF AND CAUSES AN OVER CORRECTION PULLING ME THE OTHER DIRECTION. THE BIGGEST CONCERN I HAVE EXPERIENCE LATELY IS THE LOUD HIGH PITCHED NOISE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD; THIS OCCURS AFTER I HAVE PARKED THE CAR AND REMOVED THE KEY; ONE TIME I COULD HEAR THE COOLANT LINES GURGLING. VERY SCARY NOT KNOWING WHAT IS GOING ON UNDER THERE.

CRUZE HAS COOLANT ODOR OUTSIDE CAR AND HAS LOSS OF COOLANT AT EVERY OIL CHANGE. DEALER DOES NOT WRITE THIS DOWN ON SERVICE RECORDS. THIS IS SIMILAR PROBLEM AS 2012 CRUZE ECO I HAD TO TRADE IN BECAUSE GM/DEALER COULD NOT FIX THE PROBLEM OF ANTIFREEZE LOSS. UNDER SOME CONDITIONS COOLANT TEMPERATURE GETS UP TO 236 DEG F BEFORE RADIATOR FAN COMES ON AND THIS GETS WORSE IN WINTER. THIS HIGH TEMPERATURE SEEMS TO ALIGN WITH PROBLEM BUT THE ANALOG GAUGE STOPS AT ABOUT 3/8 AND WILL NOT GO FURTHER EVEN WHEN DIGITAL TEMPERATURE REGISTERS 190DEG F OR 240 DEG F. ( THEY SAID GAUGE IS DESIGNED THIS WAY) GM AND DEALER SAY SYSTEM IS WORKING AS DESIGNED BUT HAVEN'T EXPLAINED FAN OPERATION OR WHY TEMPERATURE GETS TO 236 DEG F WHEN NORMAL TEMPERATURE IS 221 DEG F. THEY CANNOT EXPLAIN ODOR OR LOSS OF COOLANT. THIS COULD BE PROBLEM...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 3 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS. ALSO, ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE BRAKE PEDAL FAILED TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE INTO REVERSE AND THE BRAKE PEDAL RESPONDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THE FAILURE WAS UNABLE TO BE DUPLICATED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 190.
