Catalytic Converter , it is a 2016 , it absolutely should not be faulty/defective AT ALL . I checked with Dick Wolstrom Chevy Dealer , if this would be included in the Powertrain Warranty and they said it expired in December . I checked with the other Yearly Recalls for this problem, and it did show this exact same recall for the all the previous years of this make and model of car . It should be fixed , I never heard of a Catalytic Converter be defective like this especially in a newer year car . Can you please help me ? Also, I am having problem with the Fuel pressure Sensor , Air flow intake sensor, Knock sensor , all (3) this is crazy . This is the 2nd time the knock sensor has been replaced . My main concern is the Catalytic Converter , please advise , it should be covered in the powertrain warranty on this car , regardless . It is very expensive to be replaced .

While at red light, stop signs, or transitioning turns, the engine shuts off and does not restart. Sometimes it shuts down when driving at extremely low speeds. This is dangerous because I have had to push the car while transitioning in multipile lane intersections. Luckily others stop and help me push the car to shoulder or convenience gas stations. The battery and spark plugs are new, and the car has plenty of fuel.

The veh started with a small water leak, then a very large leak. Found out that the water pump was bad and the thermostat was bad. The windshield wiper fluid holder has a large crack in it. The vehicle still needs maintenance on it and can't afford it. No photos to share but receipts of my bill to replace it

My check engine light had come on I got it checked at my mechanic but can't seem to figure out the problem. When you first start the ignition it feels like the car is bobbing back and fourth. Also after the auto stop goes on and you take your foot off the brake and put it on the gas pedal the car stutters. I also had a problem when I was coming out of my driveway it stalled and lost all power steering I had to turn the car off and back on again.

The intake manifold blew out it's sensor. Not like it just went out, but some how pressure built up and blew it out of the manifold. This is exactly what the representative at the dealership just told me over the phone. Car is at the service department because of the ongoing issues with the turbo and the missing bolts and the fact that this engine was obviously a faulty build, as gm has already acknowledged. I am terrified to drive this car and I still owe on it. So now with the intake manifold blowing up and a leaking valve cover....I just don't understand how gm isn't responsible for getting these cars off the road. I am so afraid of blowing up while driving this car I don't know what to do and I believe in karma and do not want to trade it in for fear of risking someone else's life. I've owned a lot of vehicles in the 30 years I've been driving and am thankful I've never had this problem but good lord, how do I fix this?

My valve cover has went bad and started leaking oil around my spark plugs. Upon further investigation of my own I have found out that this is a common issue for many year models of the chevy cruze. My valve cover is an updated version of the plastic on the 2015 and older and is now a metal one. I spoke with a local mechanic who informed me he has replaced 75 new valve covers that general motors has built a new valve cover to replace the metal one on my car. Also this metal valve cover has caused my car to start smoking heavily when I drove it to make me have to have my car towed home until I can get the issue fixed.

I purchased a used vehicle from atlanta luxury motors at kia south on august 11, 2019. I purchased this vehicle as-is, but no mechanic claims to have found any issues at the time of inspection. The vehicle is a 2016 chevrolet cruze and only had 70,000 miles on it at the time of purchase. About two weeks after purchase, the engine cut off after the auto-stop initiated and the check engine light came on. I had to restart the vehicle in order to get out of the road. Since then, the number of times the engine has cut off has increased immensely. As of october 29, 2019, my engine cuts off anytime the car falls into auto-stop. Today it happened eight times during one forty-five minute commute.

My 2016 chevy cruze limited started to lose acceleration and wouldn't go over 40 miles an hour. No code lights are on and none detected. So I drove home and parked the car and waited until it was cooled down and opened the hood to check my oil. I unscrewed the oil cap where you add oil and it completely smelled like gasoline. Now the engine is starting to go crazy and I am taking it in before it catches fire and puts me and anyone else in danger.

Was in reverse going out the drive way that was on a slight hill. Car cut off and would not start. Got out car and seen gas leaking and check engine light came on. The car was in motion on a neighborhood road. Had to have car tow was unsafe to drive. On 8/8/2018 took car to bradshaw of greer because of a recall on the fuel leak. Certain gm vehicles could possibly have an issue that could cause a fuel leak and the vps sensor needs a lock ring installed. Had the car worked on for the recall and I still had a gas leak. Very dangerous and unsafe. Dealer ship would not have my car tow after the recall should had been fixed. 18159 noncompliance recall---fuel leak during f/cmvss testing

Tl* the contact owns a 2016 chevrolet cruze. While driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. The vehicle was unable to restart. The vehicle was towed to walker chevrolet (3940 car others pkwy, franklin, tn, 37067) where it was diagnosed that the co2 sensor failed. The sensor was replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, two months later, the failure recurred. The vehicle stalled and the check engine warning indicator illuminated. After multiple attempts, the vehicle restarted, but the failure recurred. The vehicle was taken to the second local dealer (lucas chevrolet cadillac, 101 s james campbell blvd, columbia, tn, 38401). It was diagnosed that due to ambient temperatures over 100 degrees fahrenheit, vapor build-up was in the fuel feed line and caused the vehicle to stall. The dealer stated that there was no remedy except higher octane. The dealer also recommended that the vehicle be kept in cooler temperatures and refrain from idling. The failure was under bulletin pip5507b. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. The failure mileage was approximately 60,000. .updated 11/09/17 *bf updated 11/13/2017
