2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

THE TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT AS WELL AS CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. WITH NO PRIOR ISSUES, JUST OUT OF THE BLUE. THE CAR SHAKES WHEN DRIVING. IT HAPPENED 6PM LAST NIGHT, NO ISSUES BEFOREHAND. ITS PARKED OUT FRONT ON THE STREET WHERE I LIVE.

THE TWO FRONT WINDOWS BOTH STOPPED WORKING WITHIN A YEAR OF HAVING THE CAR. THE READ DRIVER SIDE WINDOW ALSO IS MAKING A SOUND THAT SOON WILL STOP WORKING. THE CAR AT THE TIME HAD LESS THAN 9000 MILES WHEN THEY STOPPED WORKING WITH 98% OF THE TIME ONLY HAVING THE ONE PERSON IN THE VEHICLE (DRIVER). NO KIDS PLAYING AROUND WITH SWITCHES NO CRASHES. BOTH WINDOWS JUST STOPPED WORKING. SOMETHING INSIDE BROKE.

THE VALVE COVER KEEPS BLOWING. THEN IT STARTS LEAKING OIL. WHEN IT BLOWS YOU CAN NOT USE THE AIR BECAUSE IT WILL DECREASE THE POWER IN THE CAR. THERE IS NO ACCELERATION WHEN THIS HAPPENS ALSO. I HAVE HAD THIS REPLACED 3 TIMES ALREADY AND IT JUST BLEW AGAIN. THIS ISSUE SHOULD BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED. I HAVE HAD MY CAR FOR 3 YEARS AND THIS IS THE 4TH TIME WITH THE SAME ISSUE. THIS COSTS ANYWHERE FROM $450 AND UP DEPENDING ON WHERE IT IS FIXED. UNACCEPTABLE. THE VALVE COVER GASKET BLOWS WHILE DRIVING. YOU NOTICE A CHANGE IN CAR POWER AND LACK OF ACCELERATION. THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL.

WHENEVER I LEAVE THE KEY IN THE IGNITION (USUALLY DO WHEN IT'S PARKED IN MY GARAGE) EVERY NOW AND THEN AFTER PARKING THE CAR, AFTER A FEW MINUTES. THE LIGHTS ALL COME ON AS IF SOMEONE IS TRYING TO START IT. SOMETIMES IT'LL BARELY ROLL OVER. THE STARTER STARTS TO ENGAGE. IT'LL QUIT AND THEN GO INTO COMPLETE OFF MODE. SOMETIMES IT'LL ACTUALLY TRY TO START BUT CAN'T SINCE THE KEY IS IN THE OFF POSITION. IT WILL CONTINUE TO TRY TO START REPEATEDLY SOMETIMES. I'VE BEEN KEEPING AN EYE ON IT AND NOW HAVE TO REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION EVERY TIME I PARK THE CAR. THE SERVICE ANTI THEFT LIGHT CAME ON THE MOST RECENT TIME IT HAD HAPPENED. BUT IMMEDIATELY WENT AWAY AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND HASN'T CAME BACK SINCE.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING MY CAR WILL SAY ROLL DRIVER WINDOW UP AND DOWN. THEN IT LOST POWER STEERING FOR A FEW SECONDS. PARKED IT AT MY HOUSE WENT TO START IT AND IT LOST ALL POWER BUT THE FLASHERS STAYED ON. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PASSER TWO WEEKS. I TALKED TO ANOTHER PERSON THAT HAD THE SAME CAR AND THEIRS DID THE SAME THING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO PROPERLY ACCELERATE WHILE DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. ON ANOTHER OCCASION, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START-UP. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO HURD AUTO MALL - CHEVROLET LOCATED AT 1705 HARTFORD AVE, JOHNSTON, RI 02919, WHERE THE TECHNICIAN REPROGRAMMED THE ENGINE CONTROL MODULE AND SERVICED THE WIRING HARNESS. THE CONTACT INDICATED THAT RECENTLY THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT WILL COME ON AND TURN BACK OFF AND FLASH 'SERVICE AIRBAG' MULTIPLE TIMES. I HAVE ALSO REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT IN MY CAR TWICE IN THE PAST YEAR AND I HAVE TO REPLACE IT AGAIN.

COMMON ISSUE WHERE AN UNDERBOOST EVEN HAPPENS DUE TO CRACK IN TURBO OR FAILED WASTEGATE, WHEN ON HIGHWAY CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHEN SUDDENLY UNABLE TO MAINTAIN HIGHWAY SPEEDS, ALSO NEGATIBE BATTERY CABLE HAS COMMON ISSUE WHICH REDUCES VOLTAGE PASS THROUGH CAUSING TRACTION CONTROL AND STABIL-TRACK ISSUES WHICH CAN CAUSE LOSS OF CONTROL OF VEHICLE IN HAZARDOUS CONDITIONS.

I HAVE A WATER PUMP LEAK I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY KEEP ADDING WATER SO MY VEHICLE WON'T RUN HOT AND MY OXYGEN SENSORS ARE BAD IT DOESN'T IN MOTION AND STATIONARY

THIS CAR HAS MANY PROBLEMS. I AM SURPRISED IT HAS NO RECALLS. THE PROBLEMS START TWO YEARS AGO. THE VALVE COVER STARTED LEAKING. OIL WAS EVERYWHERE. GOT THAT REPLACED BUT IT HAPPENED AGAIN, AND THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN. APPARENTLY THE PCV VALVE IS BUILT INTO THE VALVE COVER. WE ARE ABOUT TO BE ON OUR 4TH VALVE COVER. IT'S CURRENTLY INOPERABLE. THE WATER PUMP HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE WHOLE ENGINE HAD TO BE REPLACED. THIS CAR IS A MONEY PIT, AND ANYONE WHO HAS EVER BOUGHT IT SHOULD BE REFUNDED FOR REAL. IT'S A PIECE OF CRAP AND HAS HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS, AND CAUSES NOTHING BUT STRESS. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHEVY EVER AGAIN.
