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.
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 heats turns its self off and will not start back after cooling down. finally i get the car to the deal to learn that it blew the head gasket and now because it' over headed so many times i now need an engine!!! there has been extend ...
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
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.
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.
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.
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..
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.
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 thousand dollars. i noted that the vehicle began leaking fluid after being stationary or moving while/after running for 10 minutes or longer.
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.
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 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.
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.
