I have a leak in my coolant system. since i've gotten the car in october 2016, i've experienced a weird burning smell, before i had even discovered what the issue was. in june 2017, my engine overheated due to a malfunction in my coolant system. as a result, i had my coolant flange replaced. a few days later, my car began to smoke and my engine went idle. the coolant leaks from the flange and the reservoir often. sometimes, it leaks as i drive, other times, it'll be parked and leak out when idle. i never use my air conditioning or heat anymore due to the burning smell of the coolant. i had my coolant flange replaced a second time. my car was down for 3 months and i just got it repaired again. last week, october 10, 2017, my car began to smoke again, my engine went idle, and when i popped the hood, the coolant had leaked out completely. any time it has overheated and the engine when idle, i've been on the freeway, driving at least 60 mph or on the street, driving at least 30 mph. more recently, when it overheated, the car had been idle for 2 hours and then 5 mins into me driving it, it happened. i was driving down a dark highway, going about 25 mph. before the engine overheated, i had 65% oil life and afterwards, i had 0% oil life. my uncle had just added coolant to my reservoir the day before, but it leaked out completely. luckily, i was not alone this time. i'm always cautious that my engine will blow out when i drive it. my mechanic informed me to be sure that i always had coolant and water in my trunk at all times, in case it leaks out. i travel 40 mins to work every other day and it's quite frightening, knowing that at any time, my engine may overheat again, due to the coolant leak. i'm almost positive that there's a recall for this issue, but i need confirmation. i have not received a recall notice, but i've done research..
While driving the vehicles motor looses power. the electronics stay on but the engine is shut off. only happens while driving, it has happened once on the highway going approx. 65mph, another time while going 55mph on a 2 lane country road, once while going 10mphin a parking lot and another while backing out of drive way at approx. 5mph. each time it has happened the vehivle has been in motion, going straight.
Car has consistent coolant leak. vehicle continues to overheat.
Engine coolant thermostat sensors. i have replaced it twice in 2 months. i have found nothing but problems of the same sort all over the internet with many model years of the car i have. things just don't go bad that soon unless there is a significant electrical or engine issue. i see no recalls for my year on anything and i find it hard 1 year model has no recall issues.
Got into a very minor fender bender and the car went up in flames. air bags never deployed because i wasn't going fast enough. but yet my car burned.
I have taken my car in with the check engine light. they said it was due to a oil cap. i called and they informed me that they could not find anything wrong. since then the engine light has been on and off and now the traction control light is on and the engine revs very high.
3/22 -- on my way to work (a brief 5-mile drive), the 'check engine' light came on and a warning about the stabilitrak system appeared on my dashboard display screen. the engine power was automatically reduced, and my car would not go beyond 25-30 miles per hour. fortunately, i had exited the highway and had just turned left onto a surface street. at the time, it was raining, but not heavily. this was the first time that i had started my car that day, so the engine was fresh. i was able to make it to work; however, when i left work a couple of hours later, the 'check engine' light and stabilitrak warning were still displayed. i drove straight home. 3/23 -- when i started my car, the 'check engine' light and stabilitrak warning were still displayed. i ran a couple of errands around town, and nothing changed. i decided to 'rest' my car for a day or two while i researched the situation and figured out a plan. 3/25 -- when i started my car, the check engine light was still on, but the stabilitrak warning was gone (i.e., my dashboard display appeared as it normally would, except for the 'check engine' light). after i had driven my car to make a couple of stops around town, the stabilitrak light came back on. 3/26 -- there were no warning lights displayed at all when i started my car; i was able to drive my car around town during the morning with no warning lights coming back on. 3/27 -- when i drove to work, the 'check engine' light and stabilitrak warning were not on when i started my car; however, they did came back on just as i arrived at work (about 5 minutes after i had started my car). for safety reasons, regardless of whether the warning lights are displayed or not, i have taken care to drive only when i absolutely need to, only on surface streets, and with my speed at or below 25 mph. this is obviously not sustainable long-term.
I have had a coolant leak and have had it repaired 5 times since i purchased. repaired at suburban chevrolet in eden prarie. now it has to happen again so it is going back and i have had it towed and still owe 800 or so crazy
There is a defect in the reservoir that holds the coolant that makes it unable to breath. the coolant is bubbling inside the reservoir because it isn't able to release the pressure which in turn is making the cars overheat. the manufacture just sees this normal but there are many videos on the internet off people going through the same thing.
Wow this is the bad car ever i have a lot first air flow sensor bad pvc valve 2 times new
I have two complaints on my vehicle, 1.several times the vehicle went into a loss of engine power mode where it was in an idle position with no ability to accelerate, the display showed loss of engine power, no stabiltrack and check engine light. the vehicle would transition to a loss of power mode on the main road, i had to turn the engine off, wait about 60 seconds and restart, my power was restored, this happened on 3 occasions. 2. the second complaint is regarding the low coolant level, i brought the vehicle to a certified dealer and they put the coolant system under pressure and detected no leak, they added coolant since it was very low and asked me to leave the car with them for a day or two and suggested it may be the radiator. i refused and asked them to add a dye to the system that would indicate the leak path and i would return the next day, they refused.
