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. #
I was driving home from new mexico on the interstate and my check engine light randomly came on. when i finally made it home i took it to a chevy dealership and said i had a turbo leak. they didn't give me any specifics.

When the vehicle goes into auto shut off at a stop sign or during traffic jams where i am just stopped by my brake but not in park it fails to restart and shuts the engine completely off. i have to quickly put it in park and press the button to start the engine in order to go.
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 chevrolet cruze. while idling at a traffic light, the vehicle seized. the contact stated that the radio was still operating when the failure occurred. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the contact was able to shift into park and restart the vehicle. the contact stated that the failure occurred multiple times. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, but the failure was unable to be duplicated. the contact called an unknown dealer and was informed of the failure. the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 85,000.
My 2016 chevrolet cruze with less than 90k miles at the time was running hot in 2018,car was fixed by local chevy dealership (_coolant jug leak/ water housing made of plastic cracked at clamp connection area) was diagnostic. after few months it started running hot again 2019, dealership said diagnosis was thermostat, waterpump, hoses leaking.. after all parts was replaced and driven for couple days car dashboard notification said a/c off/ idle engine overheating. paid for another diagnostic from dealership and now they are saying maybe a blown headgasket or cracked engine block due to overheating.seems as though the defected/ cheap parts caused this from the beginning and should be recalled before someone engine blow up from overheating
The vehicle overheats on a regular basis. it went in for service for this problem on 07-03-19, 05-06-19, 11-21-18 & 09-25-18. the last bill was for $2919.60. the dealership where the service is being completed has advised that the 2016 chevy cruze is very well known for this type of problem. the last time the vehicle was in for service it took 49 days for the problem to be fixed. the service department said that the parts that were needed were on back order because so many chevy cruze's had the same issue. this is a safety issue because the vehicle could break down at any time and we could be in a very remote area without any help. the vehicle has been worked on for this problem at sanborn chevrolet 1210 s. cherokee lane, lodi california 95241-1057. telephone number 209-334-5000. it appears that general motors is well informed about this issue but chooses to put their customers at risk.
Car stalls at intersections. the auto stop feature goes from "auto stop" on the dash to "off". problem occurs as you are moving foot over from brake to gas and causes the car to turn off. have to put car in park and completely restart the engine by turning the car off and then back on. typically happens when in an intersection/at a stop sign and have to come to a complete stop. has happened before in many settings- city stop light, city stop sign, highway traffic, highway stop sign, etc. super unsafe because car is unable to move and shut off in the middle of the road for about 10 seconds. happens at least 1 time a day. many other chevrolet cruze users have been posting in forums that it has happened to them as well. could cause accidents. makes the driver feel unsafe and uneasy every time they get in the car to drive because there is a fear that it will stall out/break down at every intersection or stop that is made throughout the drive.
Overheating, speed drop when i driving, engine make weird noise dealer can't fix it this is safety issue
Takata recall going down the road coolent outlet housing disintegrated while hose on the radiator was in motion on highway it cracked where the part is molded part is gets bad quickly overtime and heat
My 2016 chevy cruze limited started to lose acceleration and wouldn't go over 40 miles an hour. no code lights are on and none detected. so i drove home and parked the car and waited until it was cooled down and opened the hood to check my oil. i unscrewed the oil cap where you add oil and it completely smelled like gasoline. now the engine is starting to go crazy and i am taking it in before it catches fire and puts me and anyone else in danger.
I went to start the car and it would not start. tried a second time and it started with a warning that it was in "reduced engine power". could not drive the car. put it in park, shut it off. tried to start it again and it started in full engine power but with the check engine light on. it was recently serviced at denooyer chevrolet in kalamazoo michigan due to the same issues, 3 times prior to this. car has 70,000 miles on it and does not seem to be reliable at all with same issue occuring shortly after "service/repair". i want something done about this. i do not feel safe!!
The car overheated and there is no coolant in the tank and oil is pouring out of the head gasket the car only has less than 70k miles.
Engine stalls out when trying to accelerate over 30mph and after 5-10 seconds the engine unstalls and car shoots forward. problem happens more frequently when the air conditioning is running. took car to dealership for warranty service and service advisor said that his 2010 cruze had the same problem. service techs could not diagnose the issue and said nothing could be done to resolve the issue
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 chevrolet cruze. while driving up a hill at approximately 70 mph, the vehicle suddenly lost power and decelerated to 20 mph. also, the service stabilitrac and check engine indicators illuminated. the vehicle was towed to weimer chevrolet (10355 mt. savage road nw, cumberland, md) where it was diagnosed that the engine piston failed and the engine needed to be replaced. the vehicle was repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the failure mileage was 82,800.
Continuing illumination of the "check engine" light. tied to emission suspect malfunction codes. has been service for this problem at least five times. replaced fuel induction system, turbo, fuel induction solenoid and other components. still no resolution. problem is made known by illumination of "check engine" light while the car is running. no after market parts, approx 48,000 miles. the dealer service department cannot seem to correct the problem after multiple tries.

While stoped in a parking lot, waiting for a parking spot the car just died. i had to restart the engine. this has happened twice. i had plenty of gas.
My engine will just shut off randomly, with no warning at all. i have took it into dealer becase it was still covered until powertrain, of course they found nothing after having my car for 4 days. my car shuts off on the highway, in the middle of traffic, or while coming off the highway with cars trailing behind me. it shuts off sitting at red lights, when the auto start comes back on it never fully will come back on, and just completely shuts off. in which i have to put my car in park and start the car again, and at times it doesn't start right away! my check engine light has been up, however, the dealership and an auto store both pulled codes and none had anything to do with the actual engine. there is also a "service brake assist" warning that has been on as well. my breaks work, but you have to push down very hard for them to work at 100%. i have 2 children, and am a single mom, this is a huge safety concern and putting all of our lives at risk! no one seems to know what is wrong with the car, and i don't want any of us to get injured or die because of this issue, because sooner or later someone will.

Code u0164 :data communication with the climate control system has been lost or interrupted. code u0155 : data communication with the instrument panel system has been lost or interrupted. received these codes from on stsr took my vehicle to dealership next day they said they found no errors. but, i don't know how now when ever i use xm sirius radio it always says lost connection/signal. also, vehicle is always hot like the heater is on when it's not on. has lost in acceleration while driving highway and city streets been doing that for the last month or 2. also the dashboard seems to not be working no lights come on when fluids are needed.
I was driving on the highway on my way to drop off my daughter to the babysitter when suddenly my steering wheel started getting hard and the car wouldn't run, i kept pushing the gas petal and nothing, my car wasn't running. when suddenly the check engine light started blinking and the traction control light as well. the car was off in the middle of the freeway, luckily there was traffic and the cars were barely moving. until finally i turned it back on and continued driving. the following day when i was leaving to go to work my car felt hard and the engine was shaking ridiculously and i'd push on the gas petal on the car and it wouldn't drive. i had to leave the car at home and i wasn't able to call the dealer because it was closed due to memorial day. my car won't go and i'm waiting to see what the dealer is going to tell me. keeping in mind that the car was brand new olds when i got it out of the dealer.

At least once a week, my chevy cruze 2016 engine shuts off completely while idle at a stop sign of red light. i have auto shut off and when the auto shut off is in play it never cuts back on when taking my foot off the brake. i have to put my car into park and restart the engine.

Car stalled while making a left turn in traffic- a very dangerous situation.
Received first inspection, leaving the dealer, the car smelled of possibly a burning or something unknown. i did not assume this wasn't normal as they had to check several things for the inspection. i had to drive vehicle with open windows for a few days. but i thought that perhaps while checking the oil they may have gotten some on the engine or something. a few days later, the car was making a clank sound when drive gear engaged from full stop. 11 days later, started the car and it had revved over 4000 rpm. stopped itself within several seconds. foot was still on the brake. drove 5 miles, stopped and parked vehicle. returning home, on a highway, my car suddenly went over 4000 rpm again while not accelerating excessively, flat and straight roadway, overcast day, mid afternoon. was doing @54 miles mph. at the high rev, the car had stopped its momentum and was slowing down, but the rpm did not. the car went through several gears then oriented itself many seconds later. recovery speed was 42 mph. immediately called the dealer and scheduled a drop off. has @10,000 miles on it. mostly highway driving, a few days a week. otherwise it is parked. my fear was failure to continue momentum resulting in another vehicle colliding with mine and the inability to take any steps to prevent that from occurring due to loss of mobility and control of acceleration. *tr
Tl* the contact owns a 2016 chevrolet cruze. while driving the vehicle, the "start, stop" feature was activated when the contact approached a red light. when the accelerator pedal was applied while making a right turn, the vehicle lost power and was almost struck by another vehicle from the rear. the failure recurred multiple times. the dealer was notified, but the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 1,400.
Vehicle proved to be spontaneously combustive thus the car burned up in a fire due to electrical harness catching fire as stated fire fire department fire inspector. no signs showed any imminent danger, the driver of the vehicle barely escaped before car went up in flames. the vehicle was in motion being driven on a city street.
As i was driving about 35 on a city street, everything seemed like just any other day. but it was far from it. i started to smell a funny plastic/rubber like smell coming from the front of my car. so immediately pulled over to check what was going on. it is key to note that i also checked my engine temperature, speculating that maybe i forgot to top off the coolant or something, but the temperature was perfect. i stopped the car, popped the hood, and saw what was to my shock just insane... a 3 foot flame that was burning up my whole engine compartment. i did not even try to put the flame out with any means because the flame was located too close to the fuel injectors and i was not confident enough to risk it and try to put out the flame. i called 911 and in several minutes, to my luck, they were there and put the flame out before the car blew up. however, the whole front of the car and some of front interior is basically melted and the car is not useful for anything anymore. this was a spontaneous flame that happened while driving normally at about 35 mph on a 70 degree day. what happened? i do not know... but what i do know is that cars are not supposed to put their drivers and passengers at risk of dying just because a person wants to peacefully drive down to point b from point a. please look into this, whoever will be doing so. this kind of car manufacturing is unacceptable! *tr
Check engine light came on with my 2016 chevy cruze with less than 1300 miles onit. dealership cant get me in until late next week!!! why is this on already!!
