2016 Chevrolet Cruze driver assistance problems

Filed Aug 14, 2024 · Driver assistance, Engine · FL

I have a 2016 chevrolet cruze and the turbocharger intercooler hose basically broke from where the end of the hose starts and a little bit down in the middle area of the end part of the hose. And this caused my engine's power to be reduced inmensly. To the point that I had my foot pressing all the way down on the accelerator and it could not go any further down, and my car was moving slower than a turtle, and this is not an exaggeration! And also, at times when I have been at a red light my car turns off. One time my car turned off while I was driving on the street with cars behind me. Luckily, I was able to pull into a shopping center. And the air conditioner is also failing because I keep putting free on so it can be colder and all that comes out is hot air. I did not know that this intercooler hose was a major part of my vehicle's function. Also, the traction light came on, when I already had it off. If chevrolet cruze owners do not know about this issue, they need to know. Because this issue could eventually mess up the entire motor and possible blow it out. Which we all know a new motor is very expensive

When I start my car it will sputter then die, also cuts off while driving. It cuts off but will crank up and die again after so many tries it will drive a while and do it again. The check engine was on and I have fixed the O2 sensor, the mass air flow sensor, Ive replaced the turbo hose it had a big chunk ripped out of it which we have no clue how that happened, I just changed the PCV valves a few weeks ago and the car started but would not go in drive nor reverse put it back in shop and cleaned the throttle body and it ran good the whole day today I started cutting off again.

I was in a crash on july 27,2020,pm hours.I was driving straight on interstate,it began raining,I slowed down & adjusted traction control/stability control setting.the car veered to the right for some reason,I got car back in straight motion,then in a split second,it shot to the left of the road way.I tried gaining control,to get back in the correct lane,and the car ran into the guardrail in trying to get control of it. I do not think that the rate of speed,nor weather,were the only reasons for this accident. Prior to this crash,months before,at various times,and and for no reason, the service power steering,at times the service traction control,and at times the service stability message would appear,only for a split couple of seconds,at random times. The check engine light was on,and a prior certified mechanic diagnosed it as bank 1 catalyct concerter clogged. We,were trying to get the vehichle re-diagnosed by a different mechanic shop,at the time frame this accident happened,but,covid 19,made things to difficult to arrange and plans were in progress to have it checked asap.I beleive the vehichle had a malfunction and hope to get the sensors,computers,relays or any other checked out by you,not only gm. Every airbag along doors of car deployed.but, the steering wheel airbag did not. My head hit either the steering wheel or windsheild. I had a blow to my head. If all other airbags deployed,then I feel steering wheel bag should have also. This is serious malfunctions. There were problems from this car from day 1. Things went wrong way before expected time for. Such as heatercore, ignition coil,coolant leaks, thermostat housing outlet, driver door window & motor,all of most went bad before 80,000 miles.even electrical such as door chime,lights not working at correct time. Air bag malfunction LED to my head being hurt.thank you.

I just purchased this car and several times while I'm driving on the freeway the radio shuts of then turns back on numerous times. Then I usually get a stability's error message. Then the best part. The power steering will completely go out while changing lanes or in mid turn. I have been driving through a round about and also while making sharp turns to get on and off the freeway. This is so dangerous! I see that so many people are reporting the same exact problem! Something needs to be done about this! I called onstar 3 times in one trip. First it disconnects because all electrical components shut off, then they actually told me I have to wait to call them back while I am losing my steering. Only to conclude they can only help after I am in an accident. When this is not going on the car runs great and I love it so it is obviously some kind of manufacture defect.

The engine light keeps coming on. There doesn't appear to be anything wrong with the engine. The light will clear itself eventually, but then it will come back on again. This has been going on for about 1 year.

Service stabiltrak light flashed, followed by the check engine light coming on. This is the second time since I purchased this car in 2018 that this same issue has happened. My car will shake while stalled at red lights or stop signs. When I go to put on the gas my car is slow to get back in gear and almost came to a complete halt at a stoplight which could have resulted in a collision if the person behind me was not paying attention. Does not feel safe to drive at all. This has happened twice to my car in the last year and a half.

While driving, the car radio has cut out multiple times while 'service stabilitrack' has been displayed on the dash. The battery was replaced and the issues continued. This is mainly seen while slowing down or stopping at a red light. The lack of power to the car threatens safety as my turn signals failed to work and I lost power steering on one occasion. I personally researched this issue through online forums and found out that many others share the same problem. The result may be a faulty negative battery connection.

My 2016 chevy cruze ls started making a roaring noise while driving down the road then the steering got very stiff I barely made it home and I called the dealership and they informed me that if I continue to drive the car this way the steering will lock up at anytime and it could cause a very bad accident for I will not have no control over the car.
