The engine and engine parts of my vehicle malfunctioned and caused excessive oil leakage. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request. The safety of my family is put at risk because: - The vehicle engine sputters while driving. - The engine leaks oil excessively, smokes, and lets off an oil burning odor. - The radio screen blanks out frequently. All of the issues combined worry me because I have had the vehicle serviced multiple times and the safety issues still exist. The vehicle was serviced by the manufacturer. The problems found were: engine concern for squeaking drive belt, front timing cover leaking oil, and camshaft cover leaking. The vehicle had special coverage warranties with the manufacturer for some of the parts that needed to be repaired. There were not any warning lamps, messages, or indicators for the engine issues. I encountered the engine smoking, the vehicle sputtering, a strong odor of oil burning, and excessive oil leakage spots in my driveway. These issues made me take the vehicle in. The engine light did not light up for the issues. No indicator light(s) were on when the vehicle was taken in to be serviced. The vehicle was serviced and the faulty parts were replaced. However, the same issues are present and have not subsided after being serviced, replaced, and or repaired. I worry that the engine issues for my vehicle can not be corrected and that select engine parts should be recalled.

With less than 25,000 miles on this leased vehicle all four brake rotors were rusted to the point of deterioration and chipping. The rust was so thick and rough that it was grinding away the pads with stopping ability seriously diminished. One rear brake pad was ground down to the metal surface. The dealer would not warranty the rotors as brakes are considered normal vehicle maintenance. In fact , I was told by the service manager that an equinox was in his shop with the same problem. That vehicle's mileage was 19,000. The condition of these rotors was anything but normal, as though they were manufactured using a poor quality and /or porous material. On average vehicle rotors last up to 50,000 miles and through two sets of brake pads. My claim is that these severely rusted rotors are a safety issue due to the diminished stopping ability, compared to the smooth surface a rotor is intended to maintain.

Faulty parts have caused issues with the engine, such as constant engine ticking, and squeaking when slowing down and below 1300rpm. Both of these problems I believe are causing the engine to have power loss and ultimately make this vehicle less powerful and become undependable. Beyond those problems I consistently get warnings about the traction control and stabilitrak. I am doing what I can to fix this thing but believe it should not have left the factory.

I have a 2014 chevy cruze (1.4l turbo). I turn my car off and it doesnt matter if I remove the key or not my car will try to start itself. When this started my car started running really bad. It idles irregular and check engine light has came on giving me codes for things like fuel injectors and 02 censored and map censors also the mass airflow sensor. I have replaced all of these along with a clean air filter and the idle tension pulley it started squeaking. This fixed none of the issues. Codes are still coming up for parts that's replaced. I'm paying on a vehicle that's not safe to drive.
