My 2014 Chevrolet Cruze started losing power upon acceleration. A few days later, the engine diagnostic light came on. I knew something was wrong when I couldn't keep it running in my driveway to clear the ice from the windows. Finally, I was able to drive it to our mechanic. When he ran the codes, his computer showed two sensors and the alternator needed replacing. Over $700 later, the problem still wasn't fixed. I was afraid to drive my car, fearing the lack of power and bogging would cause me to stall in traffic, thus increasing the likelihood of causing an accident. It is burning gas and bogging upon acceleration and / or while idling. Sometimes, it is difficult to start. The diagnostic light is still on. Today, my mechanic identified the problem. The check valve in the intake manifold has stopped sealing and has disappeared. Where did it go" inside the engine" I ask. It will need a new vent tube, a new intake manifold with the check valve intact, and a new valve cover which has to be replaced due to a little diaphragm which can't be replaced by itself. Another poor design. This car only has 47,967 miles as of 2-05-2019. I bought this car for the good gas mileage, which has been greatly reduced at this time. GM needs to correct these problems since this issue has been caused by a faulty design of the intake manifold. Please investigate this issue as NHTSA has a bulletin number (11170978) identifying the same problem with the Cruze in other states. As a senior on a fixed income, it would be greatly appreciated that this problem is corrected as soon as possible. Thank you.

The water pump in my 2014 Chevy Cruze. Started to leak. When I took it in for service they said it and the thermostat and thermostat casing had to be replaced. The vehicle only has 51,000 mi. I found a bulletin #14371 B dated Jan.2015 that explains a special coverage adjustment for 2011-2014 Cruze the dealership said that was only for 1.4L engines not my 1.8 L engine so it isn't covered. I have found other 1.8L crude owners on lemon law sites that also claim problems with the waterpumps.

The intake manifold design on the turbo engines are faulty and fail every 40,000 miles or so. GM is aware of this issue and yet there is no attempt to redesign the intake manifold. The check valve in the intake manifold is what fails to work. The check valve stops sealing and eventually disappears causing a leak. There is even a bulletin describing the issue but yet no fix by GM. What does it take to force GM to fix their faulty designed product?

Problem no.1, my Cruze has lost power, the heater puts out cold air, the radiator is losing fluid, the engine has started to over heat, and there is wet spot under the exhaust pipe when I idle the engine! that means my car has ether a blowen head gasket or cracked head! the car has less then 85,000 miles and if the head is cracked, I think I know why because GM decked the block the short-way center out to the ends! witch can leave a valley in the center of the block! they made the same mistake with the Grand Am quad-4! the head all cracked between cylinders 2 and 3 because the block wasn't decked square! I have to take it to the dealer on sat 12/29/18 wish someone would check the block, I know the dealer will try to blame my and to make me pay for some or all of it, even though it is sill under warranty! problem no.2, I purchased a new Chevy Cruze eco with a manual transmission 4 years ago, I got it because I wanted a high mpg car and I have been driving standard transmission since I started driving and I knew I could better mileage then rated (65.5 mpg my best score!), but the shifter has to much slop in it, I had a cutlass with a hurst shifter that was 16 inches tall and used that had less slop! I have complained to dealer about it since the day I got car! three times I have put the transmission in both first and third gear at the same time! I can't tell you how many time I have missed the shift while still holding all the way in position! if I am in a hurry I can't find the gear at all! problem no.3, the hydraulic throw-out bearing is slushy and slow. Because the master-cylinder and feed-line is to small! I am a fast shifter, and I can out shift the clutch! that is bad because the pressure plate doesn't close fast enough it causes excess ware and burning of the clutch!

Unfortunately, this is the 3rd time that my 2014 Chevy Cruze has this issue. My engine light stays on while the stabilock service flashes on the dashboard; car jerks while either idle and/or stopped; a loud squeaking noise from under the hood (all these issues always start at the same time!!). I have taken my car to Chevy dealerships and they have (supposedly) replaced the same part - sham cover (according to my invoices). I totally don't get why this is a not a recall issue. It is very frustrating to take my car in for the same issue, and of course, now that the warranty has expired, I'm sure it will be even more costly.... which I really think it will be the same thing! (of course, I'm not a mechanic, but if I'm taking my car in for the same reason and they diagnose it and repair that same part; I'm beginning to wonder.... why even charge me for a diagnostic test when your chances are it's the same issue!!) is this a part that only last a maximum of so many miles? I purchased the car in 3/2015; and the 1st time I received service for this issue was 6/29/2015, and then again 2/24/2017. I'm so confused!!! :( come on GM ~ help us out please!!

Vehicle hesitates when merging onto highway traffic. This began happening after I owned the car for more than 3 years without similar incidents. Its dangerous because just when you need power to merge, the power dips instead which is potentially likely to end in being rear-ended. Vehicle was taken to the Chevy dealership where it was purchased. They kept it four days and stated they could find nothing wrong because they found no codes. They state it might be due to "turbo lag" which is normal. It is not normal as I have owned the car almost 4 years before this began happening.

The car has less than 40,000 miles on it and the catalytic converter needs replaced? the Chevy garage folks told my 23 year old daughter it could break suddenly while accelerating. They said it was shot. Next, they gave her a quote of over $900 to replace it. They said their cost was $750. Not sure which is more dangerous, the bad catalytic converter or the Chevy garage.

Car will turn off while driving. Ive owned this car for a little over a year and just started doing this 5 times in the last 2 weeks. This has happened while on highway in traffic, twice in town in traffic. The car is in motion on the higway when this happened, it also has happened turning onto higway with other cars behind me I almost got rear ended by a car behind me cause the car lost power! it has also turn itself off and on in park. This needs to be fixed before there is a major accident that causes bodly harm!!! this is a safety hazarrd!!! I bought extended warranty on this car. I have an appointment with the dealership July 31st to find the issue. I also have contacted GM. I know that there was a recall for ignition problems concerning this vehilce in 2014, when you pull up my VIN there has been no recall. I am very concerned for my safty in this car. I have had a friend that has a code reader look and it said there is an engine issue"??" I do not want to have to get an attorney involved but I will if this becomes an issue. This is very scary!!!!

When hot, the engine hesitates when accelerating. We live in a metropolitan area and when entering an expressway the car hesitates when merging into traffic. Very dangerous and scary situation! this happens quite often. The GM service tech's say they can't find anything wrong. Grant you somethings wrong!

For a little over a year, I have experienced the radio shutting off and on, stabilitrak showing as needing service, the car shuddering, and the check engine light coming on. I have brought the car into a mechanic 3 times to determine what may be causing the check engine light to come on, and 3 times the computer says air intake. I have had just about everything changed, check engine light goes off, I drive for about 30 minutes, and it comes back on. Over $700 in replacement parts and labor, and still the problem persists. Today 7/1/2018, I drove down to have the oil changed and for the first time, the engine light has not come on, but now the car does not want to start and sounds like the starter or the battery is dying. This is above and beyond the most frustrating car problem I have every had, and I can't seem to find anyone capable of answering the problems with this car. The electrical problems spring up in the middle of nowhere while driving in town, and it seems to be okay for a few days if you mess with the battery cables, but they have already been replaced once and the problem is back!!!

I was driving to work on the freeway and noticed the car was swaying and wobbling... I had got 4 brand new tires about a month and a half ago so I didn't think it was that. The next day, same thing driving to work but this time in addition to swaying, it was jerking and loosing power or punch at times when pressing on the accelerator. The following day, same thing again, this time there was a warning light check stability trak, something like that. I also noticed the check engine light on. It also began jerking even more and when I parked it, the fan was very loud and running even though the car was not overheated. When driving home and stopping at lights, my car jerked more and only stopped temporarily whe N in parked or if I pressed on the gas. I am concerned the recalls for my car was never addressed, even though it is "saying" no recalls for my VIN. What should I do? I am not sure I should drive it far based on what others have said happened to them when driving on the freeway or loosing control thru an intersection.

Exhaust fumes entering air vents. Taken in to dealer several times and they cannot fix the problem. My daughter has been sick and we keep explaining to the that fumes have caused her to have pneumonia, sinus issues, dry eyes, sore throat, migraine headaches, sleepy driving and hours after driving, confusion, anxiety, nausea. The dealers mechanic solution is not to use ac or heat and keep windows open. My husband drove it 20 minutes in traffic and got sick when he reach the dealer for 3rd repair request in 2 months. Engineer from GM is looking at car May 2018. My daughters health is continuing to improve not driving the Cruze. Not one person should be sick or die from a car that has a defect that cant be resolved.
