2015 Chevrolet Cruze

I BOUGHT THE CAR USED. AFTER A FEW DAYS I HEARD A TICKING UNDER THE HOOD & ALSO WHEN I GOT TO 60 MPH I COULD FEEL VIBRATION IN THE GAS PEDAL & SOUNDED LIKE A BUMBLE BEE UNDER THE HOOD. I TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM. THEY SAID THAT WITH THE LT1 IT OFFS COMMON NOISE FOR THE PURGE SOLENOID TO MAKE THE TICKING NOISE THAT IT WAS NORMAL. THE VIBRATION THEY SAID WAS A PEBBLE GOT UNDER MOTOR MOUNT & WAS CAUSING VIBRATION. HE GOT THE PEBBLE OUT & READJUSTED. A WEEK LATER WAS DOING IT AGAIN & THE TICKING NOISE WAS ALOT WORSE. HE FINALLY CHANGED THE PURGE SOLENOID & IT STILL TICKED BUT NOT NEARLY AS BAD. BUT HE SAID HE COULDN'T HEAR THE NOISE AT 60 MPH & ONLY A LITTLE OF THE VIBRATION IN PEDAL. I'M REALLY REGRETTING BUYING THIS CAR. IF I KNEW IT WOULD HAVE ALL THESE ISSUES I COULD OF KEPT DRIVING MY OLDER CAR WITH NO CAR PAYMENT. HE SAID THAT CHEVROLET KNEW ABOUT THE PURGE SOLENOID ISSUE BUT HAVEN'T FIXED IT. CAR HAD 87K MILES WHEN I BOUGHT IT & NOW HAS 90K. AFTER WE BOUGHT 1 OF THE SALESMEN REFERRED TO IT AS A THROW AWAY CAR. YEAH I JUST THREW AWAY 11K GETTING IT

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON 11/05 AND THAT AFTERNOON THE CAR STARTED TO IDLE HARD AND SPUTTER WHEN STOPPED. THE ERROR CODES READ FOR A MAF SENSOR; HAD THAT AND THE ENGINE AIR FILTER REPLACED, AND THE CAR STILL SPUTTERED BUT THE LIGHT WENT OUT. I PURCJASED THE CAR IN 2015, IT HAD 2300 MILES AT THE TIME, AND WOULD MAKE NOTICEABLE ENGINE NOISE SOON AFTER. I TOOK IT BACK BUT THE DEALERSHIP MECHANICS SAID THAT IT WAS A SENSOR AND NOT TO WORRY UNTIL THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON; THEY WERE TALKING ABOUT THE THE MAF. ON 11/12/2019, THE LIGHT IS ON AGAIN. ALSO, THE STABILLITRAK LIGHT COMES ON/OFF.

I NOTICED ONE DAY WHILE DRIVING THAT MY ENGINE WAS RUNNING VERY HOT. WHEN I ARRIVED TO MY DESTINATION, I POPPED THE HOOD AND DISCOVERED EXTREMELY LOW COOLANT LEVEL. ALSO NOTICED FLUID LEAKING FROM UNDER MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO A LOCAL SHOP TO BE EVALUATED. IT WAS DETERMINED THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE MY WATER PUMP & THERMOSTAT. I AM ONLY AT 41,000 MILES.

THROTTLE POSITION SENSOR. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CAR STARTED BLOGGING DOWN DROPPING RPMS WHILE DRIVING, AS I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR WOULD DROP RPMS AND THEN GO ABOVE THEN NORMAL IDLE RPMS BUT SEEMED TO WANT TO GO WHILE MY FOOT WAS ON THE BREAK. . WHEN THE CAR IS OFF THE CODE IS READING THE THROTTLE POSITION AT 16.5% WHEN IT SHOULD BE AT ZERO! WHEN THE CAR IS ON THE THROTTLE POSITION READS AT 40% NOT 100%. IT IS A HUGE CONCERN CONSIDERING THE THROTTLE CAN GET STUCK AT ANY POINT AND THEIR GOES MY LIFE AS WELL AS MY 2 YEAR OLDS LIFE.

ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) KEEPS GOING OUT. HAD TO REPLACE IT TWICE IN 1 YEAR AND POSSIBLY AGAIN SOON. THE CAR WOULD START, IT WOULD SHAKE A LITTLE BIT WHILE DRIVING THROUGH THE CITY, THE AC WOULD STOP WORKING AS WELL. IF I MADE FREQUENT STOPS (RUNNING ERRANDS) IT WOULD EVENTUALLY NOT START AGAIN. I WOULD HAVE TO LET IT SIT FOR ABOUT AN HOUR BEFORE I COULD GET IT TO START AGAIN. DEALERSHIP IDENTIFIED THAT IT WAS THE ECM BUT CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY IT KEEPS BURNING OUT. SO FAR THE WARRANTY HAS COVERED THIS BUT NOW IT DOES NOT. THE CAR HAD 9000 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, AN ABNORMAL ODOR WAS DETECTED AND SMOKE APPEARED UNDER THE HOOD. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FELIX CHEVROLET (3330 S FIGUEROA ST, LOS ANGELES, CA 90007, (213) 290-1925) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TURBO ENGINE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED. THERE WAS ALSO EVIDENCE OF OIL RESIDUE BEING DISPERSED THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,841.

VEHICLE STARTED TO DISPLAY "SERVICE STABILITRAK" ON DIC PANEL AFTER RUNNING THROUGH A PUDDLE ON A FREEWAY ONRAMP. ALSO, FROM TIME TO TIME, WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL, YOU CAN FEEL A SUDDEN JOLT OR POP (WHEEL GETS EASY TO TURN FOR A COUPLE OF INCHES OF TRAVEL). POPPING CHIEFLY HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEEDS, SUCH AS TURNING INTO A PARKING SPACE. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER FOR SERVICE. THEY READ C0710 AND C055C CODES. ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE NEEDS A NEW STEERING GEAR. VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 40,000 MILES.

I GOT MY CHEVY CRUZE LESS THAN 3 YEARS AGO. ON TUESDAY MY CAR TURN ON THE ENGINE LIGHT. WHEN I WAS DRIVING MY CAR STARTED SHAKING,LINKING AND SMOKING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HWY. I WENT TO THE LEADER ON THURSDAY BECAUSE I GOT SCARED. DENNY TOLD I CANNOT DRIVE MY CAR LIKE THAT FOR MY SAFETY. I LEFT MY CAR IN THE LEADERSHIP. IT'S BEING 4 DAYS WITHOUT ANSWER. MY CAR HAVE FULL GUARANTEED AND THEY OFFERED ME A COURTESY CAR. SO THERE ME WITHOUT ANSWERS AND NOT CAR. I WENT TO THE LEADER AND DENNY ANSWER IT THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THE CAR GOING TO BE FIX, BUT THAT IF I WANT I CAN TAKE THE CAR WITH ME. I JUST CAN BELIEVE NO ONE CARE ABOUT THE CUSTOMER SAFETY. HE TOLD ME I COULDN'T DRIVE MY CAR LIKE THAT NOW HE DOESN'T CARE IF I GET INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH A CAR THAT SHOULDN'T BE DRIVE. THEY JUST WANT ME TO APPLY FOR A NEW CAR. WHEN I DON'T NEED A NEW CAR. I FEEL MY CAR IS STILL NEW. I ONLY HAVE IT FOR 2 YEARS AND 10 MONTHS LESS THAN 75K MILES. I NEED SOMEONE TO HELP BECAUSE THIS CAR HAVE ALL THIS RECALLS AND JUST BECAUSE I'M SPANISH AND FEMALE THEY THINK I WON'T DO NOTHING ABOUT.
