    As of today, 9/15/22, I have had to replace my coolant housing system 3 times within one year. There is a crack that is constantly in it. Today, while I’m the highway traveling 75 mph, my car overheated and begin to idle on the highway putting myself and others at risk. It wasn’t due to coolant not being in the car, because it was filled this morning(9/15/22). There were no warning signs that my vehicle gave me. It wasn’t inspected since the last time I got the coolant housing fixed in June of 2022.

    Turbochager is malfunctioning. The engine could have seized and since its mostly highway driving to get anywhere that could be bad. The problem has been confirmed through a auto shop. Not inspected by anyone else. There are no warning lamps. Message was low oil. checked it and there was no oil in the car.

    The turbo breaks on all of these cars. Mine caused damage to my transmission and I have spent two months trying to get it working but all of the turbos for sale or broken or break. Now I believe it has caused damage to the converter as the car consistently drops out of high gears and then revs at over 5000 RPMs refusing to upshift. I live in an area with hilly freeways and I have almost been in two accidents because my car can't go over 50 MPH uphill and that's if I was going faster before getting to the incline. If every turbo on this car breaks, causing these issues, why has there not been a recall? This is dangerous to everyone with these cars. Chevy needs to take responsibility to fix this issue.

    I was driving in a heavy rain storm and the drivers side wiper stopped working. Upon inspection there seems to be a recall on certain cruze vehicles for this problem.

    For about a year now my 2014 Chevy Cruze’s steering wheel will lock up for a few seconds while I am driving (at speeds up to 80MPH) - which is extremely dangerous. When this happens, several lights will then pop up on my dashboard and messages are shown saying “service power steering” “service traction control”. The radio turns off, the lights inside the car turn off, and the back up camera stops working. The engine light has been on and will not go off. I have already replaced the transmission and the starter as well as the fuel pump. I was told by my mechanic to just get rid of the car as it has way too many issues to even attempt repairing. I once ran over a curb and popped a tire when the steering wheel locked up. Every time I start my car there is a message that say “roll down driver window and roll back up” which I do not understand. This seems to be happening to several people. I am very disappointed and scared to be driving this car.
