2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

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.

I SMELLED GAS LEAKING AND WHEN I LOOKED UNDER THE HOOD WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING I SAW GAS SPRAYING THE BACK OF MY CAR. IT APPEARED TO BE LEAKING FROM THE HOSE WHERE THE CONNECTER WAS NEXT TO WHAT MAY BE THE FUEL FILTER. THIS CAR IS 5 YEARS OLD WITH 30,375 MILES. I WAS TOLD THE PART IS ON THE NATIONAL BACK ORDER LIST WITH NO IDEAL WHEN IT WILL BE AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE FAN UNDERNEATH THE HOOD CONTINUOUSLY RAN AND THE "AIR CONDITIONER OFF TO HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE" INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE THERMOSTAT AND THE COOLING SENSOR WERE REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE DEALER WAS NOT CALLED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

FRONT TURN SIGNAL BULB LENS COVERS HAVE MELTED. DEALER CLAIMS HE HASN'T SEEN PROBLEM BEFORE AND WANTS $500 TO REPLACE ENTIRE HOUSING UNIT. HAS TO BE PLENTY OF THESE PROBLEMS OUT THERE.

2013 CHEVY CRUZE COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE GOING 30-40MPH HEAD ON. NO AIR BAGS WERE DEPLOYED . AIR BAG SERVICE LIGHT IS NOW ON.

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.

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.
