When driving the car flickers the radio in and out and then the radio gos completely out and service stability tracker and service service traction control pops up or the steering wheel locks and service power steering pops up and the car shut off right then and there.
Ever since owning the cruze, we've had nothing but engine issues. first the turbo went out a month after purchasing the car. two thermostats and a complete oil flush. the engine blew at 104,023 miles. the car was flashing engine light and stabiltract light. the car since owning has made a very loud ticking noise. the car also had a hard time maintaining speed. acceleration and deceleration. this happened any time the vehicle speed was over 30mph.
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.
I backed out of my icy driveway and onto the clear, dry road. set my cruise control to 48mph and after about 30 seconds, my traction control and service engine lights came on with an error message that said "service stabilitrak" and my cruise control turned off. i closed the stabilitrak message, the traction control light turned off after about 30 seconds, and the service engine light turned off shortly after. but my cruise control still wont engage. i've turned the vehicle off and on and it still isnt working. it seems that a lot of different gm vehicles have experienced this problem, and the dealership has fixed it in several different ways. i read on a forum that someone had the issue and the gm dealership said there was an issue with the amount of ethanol in the gasoline. i happened to have filled up my tank the night before with regular unleaded from my local speedway. not sure of that could have been connected.
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.
Car shakes when at red light or jerks when pulling off.the engine also overheats.
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
Car has 66062 miles sitting turned on the car hoses started leaking and the car started smoking from under the hood. towed it to the my shop for a pressure test they advised it would have to go the dealer for a coolant hose problem they could not address. towed it to the chevy dealer. repairs done water pump replacement and the water outlet hoses were leaking. i researched this problem and this was a recall for the very same model only for the years 2011-2014. the 2016 models should be included in that recall as well but were not. i have researched many of the very same complaints for the 2016 models but no recall yet. recall was 1/2015 bulletin #14371b -engine coolant leak from water pump. #
While driving at freeway speeds(70 mph) the car suddenly downshifted and revved the engine very high(6,000 rpm). the car lost speed and would not downshift. punched the gas and engine returned to normal. check engine light came on shortly thereafter. took to dealer and they state turbocharger is bad. the car only has 62,000 miles on it.
Bought a used 2015 chevy cruze ltz, carfax checked out except for when the vehicle was a year old it failed emissions testing 5/2019 (no detailed information of the work done, assuming work done) but it shows as passing ever since until december 2019. check engine light came on 12/20\19 coming to a stop or right as car was parked, code p0420 on 12/24/19 failed emissions, catalytic converter replaced 12/26/19, car picked up 12/28/19 check engine light on again same day after filling up with gas, starting car but was stationary, car returned to dealer dtc of p0420 again, 12/31 universal flex, clamp/weld done. car picked up 1/2/2020, check engine light came on coming to a stop at a red light.car returned to dealer 1/20/2020. told possibly faulty aftermarket catalytic converters used, ordering catalytic converter from gm. waiting for that to take place.
