While driving and in motion the vehicle shuts off. after shutting off the abs malfunctions and the steering malfunctions. this has happened twice now, both on city streets. once disabled the vehicle will not restart on it's own; it doesn't even turn over. the vehicle will, however, restart if jump started. the first occurrence presented with a check engine light that coded as a faulty cam shaft sensor. this was replaced and the check engine light went away. the second occurrence presented with no lights or warnings. both the battery and alternator were tested and are functioning.
The sensor stated turn off the ac due the engine temperature , the motor fan runs as if the car is running hot
While driving the car making a weird noise when accelerating and the rpm goes up but the car is not up to speed. then some loud weird noise happens when you press on the gas. i took it to get diagnosed and it said something about a turbo under-boost.
Been hearing ticking noise coming from the engine. check engine light is on. code p0234
Coolant is leaking and needing to be refilled daily, service engine light on everyday. 'engine hot, car needs to idle' comes on anytime you drive it. engine powered reduced. as for electrical, while front panel will go black and everything will shut down for a couple hours or even days.
I was sitting in my vehicle with the engine running and the air conditioner on, since it is august and very hot in las vegas. i had been in my vehicle for approximately five minutes about to leave when my air conditioner stopped blowing cold air. i smelt an electrical smell in coming through the vents. then my car shut off and smoke began pouring out from underneath the hood. i quickly exited my vehicle and called the fire department. within a couple minutes, the entire front of my vehicle was in engulfed in flames. i have not done any mechanical maintenance or work to my vehicle recently. i had my oil changed approximately 1000 miles ago. i had not had any problems with my vehicle until it caught on fire spontaneously and randomly without warning.
Vihicle was on freeway and heated up so bad quickly and had to pull over. . looses coolant constantly. part needs to be changed every couple of months. it is hard to get the part in my area and neighbor cities because it happens to a lot to different people with the same car. i am constantly fixing lines and replacing coolant every week.
The catalytic converter has failed twice in this car, and the second time is out of warranty. both failures occurred within approximately 90k miles. the cost to replace this is about $1200. this can be financially devastating to some families.
A few weeks ago, i experienced an alert regarding my engine overheating (ac off due to engine over heat, engine overheat idle engine). i turned my car off and allowed it to cool down before continuing my travels home. once i reached my home, i scheduled an appointment at grand prize chevrolet in nanuet, ny for thursday, june 27. the mechanics at this dealership found that my water pump and hoses needed to be replaced. this is a $1600 job, and i paid to have this work done, i was not able to pick my car up from the dealer until june 29. about two weeks later on friday, july 12, i received the engine overheating alert once again. i promptly called grand prize again, and scheduled the earliest appointment i could. i was not able to bring my car in to be looked at until tuesday, july 16. again, the mechanics at this dealership found a different problem with my car. they informed me that the coolant tank needed to be replaced along with the radiator cap. i had both of these items replaced at no cost. i asked them to test the engine once again to be sure that the problem had been resolved. upon checking the engine, they found that my engine was damaged and i would either need a new engine head or a completely new engine. i was informed that a new engine head would cost about $4200 and a new engine would cost about $8000.
The car said overheat-ac off code- car was very low on coolant- took to the dealer and was told by the dealer that the engine was blown and not to driive the car- i ask about service bulletin- but was told this did not apply. i had problem with overheating 18 months ago- replaced, thermostat, canister, etc as my expense.i ask if this was related and was told no. i researched problems and found many about engine and cooling problems. the dealer has made no effort to help resolve the issue. i tried to have car transferred to a different branch of dealership to have problem evaluated- i was informed by salesman that the dealer refused to transfer the car to have it checked. his seems very odd. i called gmc- chevrolet division but have not gotten a response. the dealer wants me to trade in car for a different one and will offer me $300-$600. which is ridiculous. after i trade in the car-no one can check it- the car still runs but i am afraid to get stuck.
Multiple coolant issues. bought 2/2019, took it back to the shop for coolant issues in 3/2019 and discovered its leaking coolant again. from the engine coolant water outlet.
My check engine keeps going on and off and when comes on give out power little by little till my engine reduce power comes up and gives out and almost crashed on freeway serval times
Driving last night from work to home at [xxx] around 7pm, i started getting messages in my cluster such as service stabilitrak, service traction control and engine power is reduced. just suddenly my car lost all the power and throttle when i was travelling in a highway around 70 mph on the second fastest lane. it was very scary and dangerous situation once my throttle was complete unresponsive and could find myself at the middle of the highway at 5mph . my instinct was to turn on the hazard lights and try to move the car to the slowest lane as safe as possible. i feel lucky that no one hit me in the back and i consider that i was lucky to have this problem at this time of the evening. luckily i was able to take the exit [xxx] and from there park the car to evaluate it. i could not find any visible defect either internally or on engine compartment. i turned off the engine and on several times and still had the same cluster messages and derated power. i was still able to drive the car safely to the parking lot of [xxx] looking for a safer place to wait for my insurance company. when waiting for the aaa operator i was able to re-start the car with no display message but only with the engine check light on. i drove the car in the parking lot and noticed the car seemed to be ok. once on that time i was still waiting for the aaa operator i decided to take [xxx] and i was able to safe arrive home. checking the symptom i had in google and youtube i learned about the problem with the negative battery cable which is already known by nhtsa and gm. i hope my incidence can be investigated and a decision for recall be taken.i don't see any difference to what experienced with the ignition switch topic therefore this issue should be considered as potential recall. parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
Could push the gas pedal to the floor and it won't accelerate. pressing the gas with normal pressure makes the rpm's increase very quickly and the car either won't accelerate or will accelerate very slowly. the engine light was on previously for two days and then shut off and hasn't come back on yet. i think it is the turbo. unknown cause.
My cruze is leaking oil from the oil pump cooler. i took it to my mechanic shop amd had it diagnosed. he said there is a nationwide backorder for the part. he finally found one but he has to drive over an hour away to get it. they have another cruze in the shop with the same issue. i am just wondering why there isnt a recall if the part is on back order nationwide? my car has approximately 125,000 miles on it and i just purchased it a month ago. i knew there was an oil leak somewhere when there was a fresh puddle of oil in my driveway.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chevrolet cruze. while driving 35 mph, the engine shook and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. the contact also heard an abnormal noise coming from the vehicle. the vehicle was taken to everybody rides auto sales (4200 rivers ave, north charleston, sc, (843) 203-8888) where it was diagnosed that the turbo needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 122,000.
Takata recall a few months after i purchased this vehicle the check engine light came on then it goes off the last few months it's back on and makes a noise when the air conditioning system is on.
From onstar: p0087 the engine and transmission system is not performing as expected. an issue has been detected in the engine cooling system which monitors and controls engine temperature to maintain optimal operating temperatures and avoid overheating conditions. if you are driving under normal operating conditions, please check the temperature gauge on the instrument panel. if the needle is in the red warning area, the engine is too hot. pull off the road, stop the vehicle, and turn off the engine as soon as possible service as soon as possible conditions: driving 30mph, asphault, winter weather
Engine overheating regular maintenance performed every 3,000 miles coolant system plugs replaced spark plugs replaced diagnostic performed (firestone) dealership inspected emissions test passed car's onboard display repeatedly displays "a/c off due to high engine temperature" and "engine overheating - idle engine" when not under load and occurs at regular highway (55-75mph) and city (30-45mph) speeds. cel flashes (3-5 seconds of interval flash) randomly - spark plugs replaced last occurance.
My 2013 chevy cruze lt has an issue with the turbocharger. it appears to be a very common issue among chevy cruzes. the code i believe it gives is p0299. while the acceleration and power always seemed off since prior to the incident, the first time the check engine light came on was at about 71,400. i was driving on a highway at the time. however, there have been occasions when i'm going uphill and despite the sufficient horsepower, it won't accelerate as it should. as a result, the turbocharger issue has caused the car to go much slower than the surrounding cars while going uphill, which clearly seems to endanger the driver and passengers as well as surrounding cars.
A/c off due to extreme high engine temperature cam on a couple of weeks ago, i took it in and it was fixed supposedly. a week later it came on again. i have taken it in 4 time now. as of today it is still in the shop. they had to call the manufacturer for some help and still, even a new computer and the light still comes on. this is getting to be too much. i have to go to work.
Vehicle dormant water inlet, dormant water outlet and reservoir hose are all faulty. car will leak coolant due to all three issues. this cause the vehicle to overheatand begin to slow on its own with no regard for location or the driver. i.e. slowing on the highway placing the driver at risk. the dormant water outlet is made of two plastic moldings that are bonded or pressed together leaving a seem where hoses connect these seems are week and seem to be the main source of peoples issue including mine. along with the coolant issue the valve cover purge valve is faulty also causing exhaust to not exit the engine under certain psi causes squeaking and poor throttle response also will eventually cause the pcv itself to fault or break.this issue may be the source of the car pulling while stoped at a red light causing the vehicle to jerk forward and possibly misfiring the engine pistons. vehicle is not worth the value paid for. all issue seem to arise after 36000 miles and after 5 years which means these manufacturer defects are not covered by the warranty. there are more issues associated with this year, make and model. i am sure i will be back here reporting more issues. any help is appreciated because it seems that all chevy wants is my money at this point.
Engine light came on, air leak came from valve cover. apparently the cover and manifold went bad. there needs to be a recall and permanent fix on this immediately. too many of these cars are being sold, too much money is being made not to have a fix for this. my car is 16,000 miles out of warranty. ridiculous!
Inferior parts! thermostat housing has already been replaced by dealer due to crack. now, the intake manifold, front crank shaft seal & coolant reservoir need to be replaced as well. check valve on intake manifold is bad. crank shaft seal makes chirping noise when engine is running or when vehicle is in motion.
Exact same coolant system problems as in the earlier model chevy cruze recalls. faulty coolant system, specifically a leaking water pump, inaccurate thermostat and leaking coolant feed and return lines to the turbocharger. so far it has cost me close to $1500 at only 110k miles and i still have to replace the blown head gasket which was the result of the coolant system being unable to cool the engine properly due to the bad water pump. total lemon, this will be the second time the head gasket is blown within two years.
Vehicle was in motion and came to a stop in the street. smoke coming from underhood very hard almost look to be on fire. oil spill everywhere. car is in shop now. they said it is a turbo issue, which he said is very common on the cruze. could cause engine damage.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chevrolet cruze. while the vehicle was undergoing routine service, the independent mechanic discovered coolant leaking from the thermostat housing. the vehicle was taken to the dealer (keyes chevrolet, 5949 van nuys blvd, van nuys, ca) where it was diagnosed that the thermostat and coolant pipe seal needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was offered. the failure mileage was 33,000.
Turned onto a major highway and a code came on and then it wouldn't accelerate, made some weird clanking noise, the noise comes and goes but is loud, rpms were high. car has been well maintained oil changes every 3000 miles. took to independent mechanic and problem was unidentified. calling dealership in the morning.
Car wouldn't start. got a "service steering column lock" on the dash. was able to start the car after a period of time. but engine start and stop still sounds bad.
Hi i was having problems with my turbo and i seen that general motors had a recall in 2014 on chevy cruzes turbo i didn't know have my car around that time and i don't even know if there was previous owners got the recall but i read online general motors stop selling these vehicles for a while because the same issues but they have a recall on it's the same issue i am having trouble with on my 2013 chevy cruze and the car is not back that buy warranty because it's 6 years old the turbo of the car has a whole car smoking you turn it on it feels like the whole car is going to blow up jon hall to get diagnostic which is $100 but i had already got it done gnostics from autozone but jon hall chevrolet don't go by another diagnostic which both came out to the same there are a lot of people having the exact same problem that i am having general motors but all the vehicles all but but it seems as if cruzes fell through the cracks if you look out on the road that's all you see is turbo cruzes the vehicle was so easy giving away until everybody got one the fax so i guess you just victims at the time i was just thankful to have a car no matter if it is a 2013 the price to fix that turbo is ridiculous jon hall them charge you for labor fee 400 bucks i don't have enough money to even get to the turbo now that my car is having turbo failure
the engine light turned on at 67,000 miles, strong jerking action while accelerating. at first it was diagnosised as having a bad sensor, but i've taken it in for repairs now 6 times and i've heard about 4 different things, everything from "no issues", "bad knock sensor", "ems system issue", "carbon build-up on the pistons", "metal shavings in the oil" - it's obvious that no one knows what's wrong with it but it often feels like the car is about to stall in the middle of the interstate. all proper service/maintenance has been performed on the car.
Second coolant leak in two months
While driving a few times car has stopped on me and coukd have caused an accident while i was in motion car just ceased.
My car keeps saying ac turning off due to engine overheating but the actual car is not overheating, but the coolant in the reservoir is boiling and leaving the compartment quickly. when i drive a while, i can see steam coming from the side where the coolant is located and it is boiling once i opened it.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chevrolet cruze. on several occasions, while the vehicle was being driven, the 'air conditioner turning off due to high engine temperature' warning message illuminated. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and it was diagnosed that the thermostat needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. currie motors chevrolet (8401 roosevelt rd, forest park, il 60130, (708) 771-2600) was contacted, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified. the approximate failure mileage was 77,000.
My check engine light turned on, so i took it in and they said the valve cover needed to be replace. the cost was $280.00 to replace it. when starting the car there is a loud clanking noise. this only happens when starting the car. we thought replacing the valve cover would correct this issue, but it did not. the car still has a really loud clanking noise. once the car is moving it drives fine. (manual shift car) however our fears are that if something breaks while driving down the freeway, that it could cause engine loss or worse freeze in the middle of cars driving 75mph and cause a sever accident. can y'all please check into this and let me know if there has been any recalls with this issue?
Coolant hose leak ruptured without cause or warning causing entire hosing system to explode and car overheated obviously while driving. it resulted in thermostat and housing along with additional coolant housing to be replaced about a month ago. now my car is bellowing white smoke and idling funny and i find out i've blown a gasket. my vin isn't listed but i see other chevys with this same coolant hose weakness issue as mine. appears there are more than just those listed. extremely costly repair. also have similar issue with the fuel injection/take off with no power and slow to go which has almost been deadly in highway traffic. will never buy another chevy.
When car is running there is a knocking and whining under the hood and then when driving the car jerks or boggled down like it's about to die. today the 'service stabilitrak' light came on and the car became worse with the jerking and when at a red light the car died. i restarted the car and it is push to start but sounded almost flooded.
Ok so i needed a new car and went and ended up at a nice looking used car lot and financed a 2013 chevy cruze lt. since purchasing the car. (at this moment i've only had the car for 23 days) i had the car looked over by my mechanic and everything looked good and fine. and since day 1 these are the recalls that have been made on this vehicle but not for my vin but is happening with the car in order from when first noticed. first i was stopped at a red light and the car jerked forward and honestly scared me as it felt like i had just been hit by the car behind me. ( which wasnt the case as i got out to check). well then after a few days im on the interstata and decided to use the speed control, at first it was just like you would expect it to be but after not even 5 minutes the car starts acting like in tapping and releasing the gas and will not stop unless speed control is turned off or stopped. so then i run over a nail and go to replace the tire and the mechanic looks over the car again and bring an oil leak to my atttention from the oil pan and shown visible oil on the gasket. (already under my limited dealer warranty). so since then i have checked the oil every day just to be sure im not running low and it wasnt low. well like a week later i make a drive i have actually made in this car about 6 times already to have lunch with a friend and when i get there turn the car off and then the friend is 10 min away so i restart the car for the ac. didnt have the car back on for 2 min and the car started beeping with engine overheat warning. turned the car off and popped hood to check and from the overheating i guess there was pressure on the hose it just popped the hose from the clamp and coolant went every where. had been away from the car and car was cooled and added more coolant to it. and everything is fine. well then the next night out of no where the head gasket blew
Car has been returned to dealer for repairs concerning the motor and electrical systems. they have not been serviced outside of the dealership. car frequently quits and has to be jumpstarted.
The vehicle has been going to anti theft mode and took it in they found coolant reservoir leaking thermostat leaking along with the drive belt has coolant on it causing it to squeak according to chevrolet car seems like when i'm driving it it feels like its moving fwd on it's on when i have my foot on brake at a complete stop. my car is at 143,000 miles on it
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chevrolet cruze. while driving 40 mph, the vehicle began to overheat and "air conditioner turning off due to vehicle overheating" displayed. the contact parked the vehicle, opened the hood to allow the engine to cool down, and added coolant. the vehicle drove normally the next day, but overheated again during the evening hours. when the failure recurred, the stabilizer indicator illuminated and the vehicle stalled. the vehicle was unable to restart and was towed to the contact's residence. the dealer and manufacturer were not notified. the contact researched the failure online and found nhtsa campaign number: 13v452000 (power train) as a possible cause of the failure, but the vin was excluded from the recall. the failure mileage was 110,357.
Traction control needs servicing light came on while i was driving at 45 miles per hour, then car not running well, then engine light, engine knocking, and hardly running. vehicle has just over 72000 miles. i have read in consumer reports that this year model has faulty pistons. this should have been a recall if they knew this engine was not built well.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chevrolet cruze. while driving approximately 40 mph, the vehicle jerked and the traction and engine indicators illuminated. the contact also noticed smoke occasionally underneath the hood. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the engine cylinder misfired and that the engine needed to be rebuilt or replaced. the technician referred the contact to the dealer (walker chevrolet, 3940 carothers pkwy, franklin, tn 37067, 615-538-5184) where it was also diagnosed that the engine needed to be rebuilt or replaced. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. the manufacturer referred the contact to nhtsa. the vehicle was not repaired. the failure mileage was 72,000. *tt consumer stated cracked turbo is occuring in this vehicles also turbo and cataltic converter went out 2 weeks later updated 6/15/18*jb
There was a recall on 2013-2014 chevy cruz turbos with certain vin numbers. i own a 2013 chevy cruze, with the exact engine (1.4l turbo engine). my turbo is going (the exact same issue with the recalled part for the other chevy cruze's), but my vin isn't included in the recall. i wanted to reach out to see if the recall wasn't expansive enough. it seems strange that my less-than-60,000 mile, 5 year old car has the exact same problem as other cars built with the same engine / year, and that the problems aren't related. it's $1600 to fix, and if it was a defect from the manufacturer, that seems like an unfair amount to pay. the issue hasn't incapacitated the car yet; it was diagnosed through a check engine light on my car when i was getting a tire fixed at the dealership.
I was driving on the boulevard and stopped at the red light once it got green the car turned off on me had to put it in park and restarted the car to work again.
My 2013 chevy cruze that had 80000 miles on it head gaskets are blown out along with the bolts and cooling system. upon reviewing other complaints and speaking to others this seems to be a problem. the car had regular tune-ups and oil changes along with a engine flush. i have attached a copy of the estimate to repair the gaskets. the shop also informed me that if i wanted the coolant system fixed and it is on recall that they would fix around the coolant system ...send the car to the dealership to repair the recall and send the car back to them to finish repairs. i have only had the car 4 years and when i purchased it the car only had 10000 miles and for this to happen this early in a car is a problem.
When driving the car it loses power we had it put on a computer to diagnose the issues and its the turbo. however ive seen there is recalls for this. we have bought this car used with only 54,000 miles on it. we had one recall fixed already that the dealership we got it from was once fixed because of this issue. however i don't believe that and now im not believing this was fixed either. we have had nothing but issues with this car and its getting ridiculous
I went to the dealership service center where i bought my car because my stabilitrak was turning on and off on their self si i report it and when i was there they told me my coolant had a leaking and need to be replaced as long some hose and other parts as water pump that a was also under a recall to but they charged me $ 697.95 where they shouldn't cuz i was a recall cover under special warranty my car have so i report it to gm where an investigation is being done to they can refund my money and i have proof of all was done to my car because i feel is an abused toward chevrolet jersey city, nj doingvthis to me and imagine how many they already had done it. something need to be done immediately... if paperwork need to be provide i have it to be fax.
My vehicle repeatedly ran hot everytime i would drive it over a mile on the road. my husband changed the thermostat, always made sure it had coolant, checked my hoses, and replaced the water pump. but eventually it blew a head gasket. we noticed it did so when we seen water had mixed into the oil. supreme chevrolet replaced the engine at 96,000 miles in november 2016 under warranty. i drove the car about 54,000 miles with the replaced engine and it too started running hot everytime i would drive it about a mile down the road. the dash light would say turn a/c off and idle engine or turn off engine due to high temperature. we changed the radiator, the hoses, the water pump, and the thermostat on the car and it remained running hot with high temperatures until that engine too blew a head gasket.the dealership will not warranty the second engine although it only has 67,000 miles on the new engine. and now i am left with no vehicle and still owe $6700.00 on the chevrolet cruze due to the faulty coolant system.
