Cracks in the diaphragm may have developed in the positive crankcase ventilation (PCV) pressure regulator valve . This has caused my engine to run rough , especially when idle and have the engine trouble code for the fuel trim lean (PO171) displayed . I’ve noticed this recall in other 2013 Chevrolet Cruze but there is none for my VIN.

Vehicle shuts off while driving losing complete power and steering! So dangerous and deadly! Taking the car in today, car also riding rough and misfiring. All maintenance done every 3,000 miles. This car has had one problem after another and this last one could have killed my teenager daughter! It stopped on her 5 times on the freeway!

Vehicle dormant water inlet, dormant water outlet and reservoir hose are all faulty. Car will leak coolant due to all three issues. This cause the vehicle to overheatand begin to slow on its own with no regard for location or the driver. I.e. Slowing on the highway placing the driver at risk. The dormant water outlet is made of two plastic moldings that are bonded or pressed together leaving a seem where hoses connect these seems are week and seem to be the main source of peoples issue including mine. Along with the coolant issue the valve cover purge valve is faulty also causing exhaust to not exit the engine under certain psi causes squeaking and poor throttle response also will eventually cause the pcv itself to fault or break.this issue may be the source of the car pulling while stoped at a red light causing the vehicle to jerk forward and possibly misfiring the engine pistons. Vehicle is not worth the value paid for. All issue seem to arise after 36000 miles and after 5 years which means these manufacturer defects are not covered by the warranty. There are more issues associated with this year, make and model. I am sure I will be back here reporting more issues. Any help is appreciated because it seems that all chevy wants is my money at this point.

This is a recurring issue that has been going on with my car since the lights came on the fist time. The dealership acts as if I don't know what I am talking about. I have wasted so much gas and I transport children with autism at times in va dc and md. I have consistently complained about the sticking throttle or engine misfire. Please I fear for the safety of my clients and my family.
