The vehicle keeps going to A/C off due to vehicle running hot. I've gone to the dealer and various shops had the water pump, hoses, outlet housing, thermostat replaced. I still smell coolant leaking and burning off when I open the hood I see the engine and catalytic converter wet and drying off as the wetness evaporates; the smell stays inside the car. The effects of smelling coolant has to be toxic, has any studies been done on long term effects of smelling coolant? I spend a minimum of 3 hours a day in traffic. The problem started around 100k. I also have oil leaking on right axel and somewhere on the engine. I've noticed the1.4l turbo has the same problems why are there recalls on the 1.4L but not the 1.8L? I'm paying out of pocket to get the same repairs done, if the vehicle is unsafe for the 1.4L it should be unsafe for the 1.8L
2013 Chevrolet Cruze transmission complaints
Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 113, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Check-engine light comes on and stays; after repairs, it keeps flashing. "Traction control" message comes on and stays on. The air conditioning system keeps warning to be turned off, and heats up the car when not turned off. The care drives and dies while driving. The transmission is not consistent, takes much more time to accelerate. Breaks and fan replaced after a year of purchased and about 1,500 dollars have just been spent in repairs and the car still gives a check-engine light, shaking and about to die. Presently not in use. The safety issues for me and my family are high. I recently had to drive it with safety lights on and below 25 miles/hr to and from the mechanic. I have taken the car before two mechanics and it is still not resolved. The car is available for inspection upon your recall.
Loss of power when driving
My vehicle started losing pressure upon having it checked I was informed that the turbine in the engine was defective and blowing out the old from my injun my car is rendered useless due to the fact that this turbine was part of chevy's recall in my car having been at chevy dealerships it was never addressed. I need my car fixed as soon as possible it is my only means of transportation.
I have a 2013 chevy cruze 1.4l turbo. The past month or so when I am driving on an incline or hill it loses power and the traction control light and stability control light comes on and the check engine light flashes. About a week ago I was coming home from class and my car lost power and almost got smashed by a semi and today it lost power and almost got rear ended. Have had several mechanics look at it and they can find the problem.
Recall: n202299080 the cracks in the faulty pcv valve prevented proper air intake and pressurization to and from the intake engine. Because the vehicle has been operating under these strenuous improper conditions, the turbo has not been able to spool properly in accordance with its design and has also become defective/in need of replacement. Faulty pressurization does not only affect the pcv valve, but the components on either side of the valve and their processes as well. My 2013 chevy cruze not only stalls in the middle of the street, but dies there and is a huge safety hazard to both my family and those we share the road with. This vehicle has never been in an accident or had any other complications, except for this faulty pcv valve. The condition has exposed my turbo and engine to irregular unwarranted propulsion mechanisms. Gm is hoping we're ignorant enough to cover those costs on our own. This is wrong. Their faulty part triggered a series of safety hazards and complications. They need to be held accountable, we cannot sit back or turn a blind eye in their direction. We need to stand up for each other and speak out. Thank you for making our safety concerns your priority!
My car kept saying "AC off due to high engine heat" even though my car was not reading hot while driving down the road. Then the car would start smoking and blow a hose and liquid would be everywhere. I had a brand new thermostate put in and it still does the same thing. Also a previous recall about how the tire could seprate "tire rod" is still doing it again. I had 3 transaxle seals and a transmission seal, a motor blower for the a.c all replaced within the first year (still under warrenty) of owning this car. The stability track will show up on the screen. But I'm tired of worrying when my car will want to just randomly blow hoses and start smoking and leave me stranded on the side of the road! I bought a cheap car to get me to work and my cruze is sitting!!
I was just driving along under normal driving when all of a sudden my rpms went all the way up and the car wasn't going anywhere but costing to a stop along with a loud banging sound. I was driving approximately 28mph on a street
This issue has been ongoing since last year. I have been getting messages on my dash with errors such as service traction control/service stabilitrak. The car slows down to 5 speed and it stalls /jerk when driving. This is not safe and I almost got into an accident because of it. This vehicle is not safe. Took my car to the dealership for a diagnosis check and was told nothing showed up but a low battery. I got that fixed and the car is still having the same issue. When driving on the highway/streets/expressways when all of a sudden my car decelerated and I got the message engine power has been reduced/service traction control/service stabilitrak as well as my check engine light came on. Because of this, I was forced to pullover while almost being hit by other vehicles. This was extremely dangerous and scary for me because I have no idea what happened and it could have cost me my life, as well as others. I have taken the vehicle to chevy and firestone auto complete and no one knows why this is happening.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chevrolet cruze. The contact stated after shifting to park and exited the vehicle, it began to roll away while the key was removed from the ignition without warning. The contact had to quickly re-enter the vehicle and depress the emergency brake in order to stop the vehicle from rolling away. Shortly after the contact attempted to restart the vehicle and the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was not taken to a local dealer or independent mechanic for diagnostic test. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 34,000. The contact referenced the failure to the federal safety agency campaign number: 16v502000 (electrical system, power train).
The intake manifold became cracked and I have researched it has been an issue for many chevy cruze bettween the years of 2011-2014. The vehicle has a increased air flow the results in a poor air to fuel mixtue inside the combustion chamber, also allows oil to blowby. The issue with the intake has caused increased oil consumption/ burning, resulted in a loss of power upon first take off from stop light. This issue has caused the computer to adjust the timing more than the manufacturer allowed limit which has resulted in a bent valve and bad timing
A/c off due to high engine temp warning on the dash. Tried resetting ecu, didn't work. No check engine light on. Changed both coolant sensors and still broken. Replaced old broken thermostat with a new factory sensor, and 4 months later it's already broken.
Chevy cruze 2013 ltz turbo, I have the paperwork stating it is turbo. I took it to a dealerships because check engine light came on. I was told it was fine. They cleared everything. I have been told different things whether it has turbo or not. The turbo was supposedly checked several times since I bought it. The mechanic at dealership said it did not have turbo. I asked the head mechanic to drive the car with me in it. He did, the head mechanic convinced me it had turbo and it was working fine, I said it doesn't act like it to me, he said this is all its got and that's it, the car is fine. The head mechanic said it was fine, I said something is not right, he convinced everything was and to push the clear button when it would be and it would be fine. This happened between 2014 and 2018 this has happened over the years. I was told to basically touch the clear button. Codes started to pop up; it started with the window. I was told to hit clear button when this happens, so I did. Then check engine codes pop up on dash saying: role window down and back up, check transmission, key remote not detected, start with remote start, check air bags, it has done this off and on for a several years, off and on . Now this week it got really bad to the point the car just shuts off, then it will not start, until I touch the clear button or I have to unhook the battery otherwise the dash will not turn off and I can't start it. I took it to have codes checked and mass flow sensor , then it said vapor canister purge valve then map sensor, I replaced all, the car still acts the same. Codes still appear on dash. Start the car it seems ok, then you drive it and the engine just shuts off and codes start to appear again. Should this be checked into. I can't find records, I will try, but I can tell you dealerships.
Tl* the contact owns a 2013 chevrolet cruze. While the contact's wife was driving 30 MPH, the vehicle hesitated, jerked, and failed to move before spontaneously accelerating. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to bob bell nissan (7900 eastern ave, baltimore, md 21224, (410) 288-2500) to be diagnosed, but the failure could not be duplicated. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The failure mileage was 18,000.
Transmission failure at 70,000 miles.
The turbo booster malifunction the car will not pick up speed and time would stop all will you are accelerating on the gas
My car is a danger the engine power slows down when driving causing another to hit in the back power steering light displays, stabilize tract and engine power, I have already had one hit and run accident.I took car to chevrolet dealership harbison rd columbia sc they just half repair it someone may die if car continue to power down.
My check engine keeps going on and off and when comes on give out power little by little till my engine reduce power comes up and gives out and almost crashed on freeway serval times
Takata recall a few months after I purchased this vehicle the check engine light came on then it goes off the last few months it's back on and makes a noise when the air conditioning system is on.
Could push the gas pedal to the floor and it won't accelerate. Pressing the gas with normal pressure makes the RPM's increase very quickly and the car either won't accelerate or will accelerate very slowly. The engine light was on previously for two days and then shut off and hasn't come back on yet. I think it is the turbo. Unknown cause.
March 2016. Problem: car not accelerating correctly, diagnosis: accelerator pedal position sensor broken march 2018. Problem: car overheating and losing power over 40mph, diagnosis: coolant hose break may 2018. Car overheating and losing power over 40mph, diagnosis: transmission cooler line break june 2018: problem: spedometer started malfunctioning and car began sputtering on highway at 65mph, diagnosis: transmission computer (input and output sensor) fried january 2019. Problem: cooling draining extremely fast and car making gurgling noise (at all speeds), diagnosis: water pump break, thermostat break, serpentine belt and 5. January 2019: problem: oil leak, diagnosis: timing cover gasket need replacement
For some reason when I drive my car it starts shaking sometimes it happens when I start driving or when I brake I tried to find the problem and it looks that it is the drive shaft. I though that it is something that only happened to me but I found out that there are more cars involved in that but my chevy cruze 2013 looks like it is not not one of those. What can I do about it ?
Car is having turbo problems. Nothing wrong with the car, but it shows a turbo underboost defect. Says online it is common amongst chevy cruzes
Wow this is the bad car ever I have a lot first air flow sensor bad pvc valve 2 times new
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!
Engine light came on, air leak came from valve cover. Apparently the cover and manifold went bad. There needs to be a recall and permanent fix on this immediately. Too many of these cars are being sold, too much money is being made not to have a fix for this. My car is 16,000 miles out of warranty. Ridiculous!
Turned onto a major highway and a code came on and then it wouldn't accelerate, made some weird clanking noise, the noise comes and goes but is loud, rpms were high. Car has been well maintained oil changes every 3000 miles. Took to independent mechanic and problem was unidentified. Calling dealership in the morning.
My check engine light turned on, so I took it in and they said the valve cover needed to be replace. The cost was $280.00 to replace it. When starting the car there is a loud clanking noise. This only happens when starting the car. We thought replacing the valve cover would correct this issue, but it did not. The car still has a really loud clanking noise. Once the car is moving it drives fine. (manual shift car) however our fears are that if something breaks while driving down the freeway, that it could cause engine loss or worse freeze in the middle of cars driving 75mph and cause a sever accident. Can y'all please check into this and let me know if there has been any recalls with this issue?
Takata recall very hard shifting and clunking nose when shifting
Car looses speed can't give it gas has no pull! Once you take it out of gear and put back in drive, works fine. Lights flicker on and off, on radio. Bought car in february with 49.000 miles on it drove to store came back out of store car was completely dead! Made no sound, checked battery everything, 5 min later started rite up. This car does not feel safe to me, I wish I could return it.
