problem #2

Nov 032017

Cruze 1.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 4,200 miles

Cracked piston with 4,200 mi. The dealer was great had to put in a new engine. Sounds like it's a common thing in these motors. Got the car for my son and luckily he was on a side street when it broke down. Probably last Chevy car I'll ever get.

problem #1

Cruze 1.4L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 23,000 miles

I took my car in after having issues with it and then saying the Stabilitrak needs service. So I took it in the next morning, it has been over a week and today I find out that there is a cracked piston(seems like this happens a lot). This car is 5 months old and I shouldn't be having these issues and it seems like the Dealership isn't any better. They have given me the run around for over a week. I can't work without my car and I'm so upset! I'm not even sure what my next step is UGH
