2013 CHEVROLET CRUZE Complaints

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 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.

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.
