TL-CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVY CRUZE . CONTACT WAS DRIVING ON MAIN ROAD AND STEERING LOCKED UP WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAINTAIN SPEED AND STAY IN LANE. CONTACT SPOKE WITH CHEVY DEALERSHIP IN NORTH CHARLESTON SOUTH CAROLINA (JOSH). CHEVY STATED THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS ON VEHICLE. VEHICLES ARE BEING FIXED AS THEY EXPERIENCE THE STEERING PROBLEMS. STEERING WHEEL OVER CORRECTS ITSELF AFTER LOCKING INTO STRAIGHT POSITION.CONTACT STATED SHE SPOKE WITH CHEVY HQ OFFICE - HQ OFFICE SAID TO CALL NHTSA. 0 RECALLS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS VIN.

ENGINE OIL COOLER FAILURE. HOUSING IS LEAKING ON OUTSIDE OF THE ENGINE BLOCK THAT PART IS BOLTED TO. NOT SURE WHEN LEAK STARTED AND IF THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING OR STATIONARY. THIS PART WAS COVERED ON 2011 AND 2012 MODEL BUT WRITTEN OUT OF WARRANTY FOR 2013 AND LATER MODELS. DEALERSHIP KEEP INVENTORY ON THIS PART DUE TO FREQUENT REPLACEMENT NEEDS. CHEVROLET KNEW THE PART HAS PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF REPAIRING THE ISSUE WITH THE PART THEY HAVE REMOVED IT FROM POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT IS PART OF THE POWERTRAIN. THIS REPAIR COST OVER ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS ON VEHICLES THAT ARE STILL UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THE WATER PUMP HAS SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT ( HTTPS://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/UCM507379/SB-10057265-3557.PDF). I BELIEVE THE ISSUE WITH THE OIL COOLER IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE WATER PUMP ISSUE. GOING THROUGH CHEVROLET CRUZE TALK FORUM AND READING ISSUE AFTER ISSUE ONLINE FURTHER SHOWS MINE IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

TURN SIGNAL REFLECTOR CLIPS ON BOTH FRONT HEADLIGHTS ARE BROKEN OFF INSIDE THE DOME COVER FOR THE LIGHTS.

THE POWER TO THE RADIO SCREEN CONSTANTLY CUTS OUT. MANY TIMES THE SCREEN GETS STUCK IN THE BACK UP CAMERA MODE. IT IS VERY DISTRACTING. IT HAPPENS IN PARK AND WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION.

JULY 2017 I HAD A GM (VOLUNTARY) MANUFACTURE RECALL COMPLETED ON MY CAR FOR THE NOX SENSOR POSITION 1 (DEF SENSOR). ON JANUARY 16, 2018 THE NOX SENSOR 2 NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, COST $700. I WAS VERY FAR FROM A DEALERSHIP, AND WHEN I FINALLY GOT TO A DEALERSHIP I WAS AT 16 MILES BEFORE THE CAR SPEED WOULD GO TO THE 4MPH SPEED REDUCTION. I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND THE WEATHER HAS BEEN VERY COLD. I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A JAM IF I HADN'T MADE IT TO A DEALERSHIP SOON, BECAUSE THE CAR WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO OVER 4MPH. THE NOX POSITION 2 SENSOR SHOULD HAVE BE PART OF THE RECALL WHEN THE POSITION 1 SENSOR WAS REPLACED.

FOR THE PAST YEAR I'VE BEEN DEALING WITH MY CAR OVERHEATING. THE SCREEN WILL DISPLAY AC OFF DUE TO HIGH ENGINE TEMPERATURE, FROM THEN THE SCREEN WILL GO TO ENGINE OVERHEATED IDLE ENGINE, EVERY TIME I DRIVE THESE SIGNALS COME ON, IF I STOP AT A STOP SIGN OR RED LIGHT COLD AIR AUTOMATICALLY STARS TO KICK OUT. I'VE TAKEN IT TO THREE DIFFERENT CHEVY DEALERSHIPS ALONG WITH TWO OTHER REPAIR SHOPS, I'VE HAD A NEW WATER PUMP, NEW THERMOSTAT, TIMING HOUSE SENSOR CHANGED AND RADIATOR FLUSH DONE OVER THE COURSE OF A YEAR IN A HALF AND STILL TO THIS DAY NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIX IT.

WATER PUMP LEAKS AND CAUSING THE ENGINE TO OVERHEAT. MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 53,000 MILES ON IT. FOUND A SERVICE BULLETIN ON THE ISSUE BUT FOR SOME REASON, CHEVROLET WON'T HONOR IT AND SAYS MY VEHICLE DOESN'T QUALIFY FOR IT. BULLETIN #: 14371A

THE TURBO/ SUPER CHARGER UNDERBOOST HAS MALFUNCTIONED AND IS CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT REPAIR COST.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, EITHER WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT OR WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE STABILITRAC WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. ADDITIONALLY, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AND THE VEHICLE'S RADIO FAILED TO OPERATE AS INTENDED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO MARK'S CASA CHEVROLET (7201 LOMAS BLVD NE, ALBUQUERQUE, NM 87110, (505) 262-8600), BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED AND A FAULT CODE COULD NOT BE RETRIEVED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000.
