What 698 owners told NHTSA about the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze Limited

NOX POSITION 1 SENSOR WENT BAD. IT WAS RECALLED ON OTHER CHEVY CRUZE DIESEL VINS BUT MINE WAS NOT RECALLED AND IT WENT BAD I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER FOR A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A NOX SENSOR BUT THAT IT WAS NOT RECALLED ON MY VIN SO IT WAS NOT COVERED

CAT WAS SPUTTERING AND STALLING AFTER I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AND AIR FILTERS CHECKED. I GOT IT DIAGNOSED AND THE CODES GIVEN WERE P1101 P0299 P0171 P0106 I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT THE LIGHT WHEN I NOTICED SOME SQUEALING OR WHIRRING UNDER THE HOOD. I OPENED THE HOOD AND THE ENGINE IS LIKE ... MOVING

MY 2014 CRUZE HAS A TURBO IN IT TO MAKE IT "ECO" - I.E., RELY ON TURBO FOR BOOST WHEN MORE POWER IS NEEDED RATHER THAN USING MORE GAS. MY CRUZE ENTERED "LIMP MODE" IN JULY WITH 54,000 MILES ON IT. THE TURBO FAILED TO WORK WHILE MERGING ONTO THE FREEWAY AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. IT WAS SHIFTING INTO 4TH GEAR WITH HIGH RPM TO KEEP FREEWAY SPEED. WHEN DIAG BOX WAS LATER PLUGGED IN, THE CODE CAME BACK AS "P0299" - TURBO UNDERBOOST. I ATTEMPTED TO REPLACE THE SENSOR (CODE CAME BACK) AND SOLENOID (CODE BACK AGAIN) AS THEY CAME UP OFTEN IN RESEARCH WHEN LOOKING FOR A SOLUTION. TURBO WORKED FINE FOR A MONTH AND THEN QUIT AGAIN WITH THE SAME CODE AND MY CAR IN LIMP MODE AGAIN. I FILED A COMPLAINT THROUGH GM AND THEY MANAGED TO GET THE PART THAT WAS BACKORDERED INDEFINITELY DUE TO FACTORY WORKERS BEING ON STRIKE. APPARENTLY, GM CUT THEIR HEALTHCARE OVERNIGHT. I'D STRIKE TOO. THE SERVICE PRINTOUT I RECEIVED AFTER REPLACEMENT STATED THAT THEY COULD FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE TURBO: "INSPECTED FOR OIL INTRUSION, NONE FOUND WASTEGATE SOLENOID CONNECTOR MISSING RETAINER - DOES NOT AFFECT FUNCTION. BYPASS VALVE OPENS AND CLOSES WHEN COMMANDED. NO AIR INDUCTION RESTRICTION FOUND. RECOMMEND TURBO FOR FAILED BOOST COTROL TEST" THIS SOUNDS TO ME LIKE A FAULTY PART, AND AN EXPENSIVE ONE AT $1,501.86, THAT I PAID FOR BUT DID NOT BREAK. NOT TO MENTION THE SENSOR AND SOLENOID REPLACED PRIOR. MY CAR IS "FIXED", AND RUNS, BUT THIS IS STILL AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE IN GENERAL, AND THE TURBO SHOULD BE RECALLED TO PREVENT FUTURE DANGER FOR OTHERS. I ALSO THINK IT'S BS THAT I'VE HAD TO PAY A MONTH'S RENT FOR A PART THAT SHOULDN'T HAVE FAILED AT ONLY 54,000 MILES. I WILL NOT BE KEEPING THIS CAR AND PAYING ANOTHER MONTH'S RENT IN A YEAR. I WILL ALSO NOT BE DOING BUSINESS WITH ANY GM MANUFACTURER.

WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START MY VEHICLE IT WILL NOT TURN OVER. THEN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT FLASHES ON AND OFF. THE DISPLAY THEN READS SERVICE THEFT DETERRENT SYSTEM. SERVICE TIRE MONITORING AND WILL THEN COMPLETELY LOCK UP. THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ROUGHLY 4 TIMES IN THE LAST FEW MONTHS. THE ONLY WAY TO GET THE CAR TO START IS WITH A JUMP. THE BATTERY, STARTER AND ALTERNATOR ARE ALL GOOD AND ARE NOT CAUSING THE ISSUE.

ACCELERATION NOTABLY SLUGGISH, TAKEN TO DEALERSHIP FOR CONCERN 3 YEARS AGO WITH COMPLAINTS AND WAS TOLD THERE WERE NO ISSUES. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALERSHIP THIS YEAR DUE TO CHECK ENGINE CODE. TURBO ENGINE DEFECTIVE, GOING TO COST $2200 TO REPAIR. UNDER $60,000 MILE POWER TRAIN BUT JUST HIT THE 5 YEAR WARRANTY 2 DAYS PRIOR TO CALLING DEALERSHIP AND GM. DEALERSHIP UNWILLING TO OFFER FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE DUE TO MISSING PROBLEM DURING ORIGINAL COMPLAINTS 3 YEARS AGO. TOOK CAR TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP, WHICH FOUND ADDITIONAL $2000 IN REPAIRS THAT WOULD NEED TO TAKE PLACE IN ORDER FOR TURBO REPAIR TO BE EFFECTIVE. CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE, WITH LIKELIHOOD IT WOULD BREAK DOWN IN 10 MIN TO MULTIPLE LEAKS AND BROKEN PARTS ORIGINAL DEALERSHIP MISSED AND FAILED TO DISCUSS. CAR NOW COSTS $3400 TO REPAIR , GM ONLY WILLING TO HELP WITH $600. CAR TOO EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR AND TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE.

CAR STARTED TO OVERHEAT CAUSED BY WATER PUMP FAILING AT ONLY 67K MILES. FAILING PUMP CAUSED COOLANT LEAK IN CAR WHILE DRIVING.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT ABOUT 107000 MILES. DIAGNOSED AS CODE P0420 CATALYTIC CONVERTER EFFICIENCY LOW. REPLACED WITH AFTERMARKET CATALYTIC CONVERTER MADE BY WALKER, BUT CODE DID NOT CLEAR. CONTACTED GM CUSTOMER CARE, WAS SENT TO ELKINS CHEVROLET. THEY CONFIRMED SAME DIAGNOSIS AND INDICATED AFTERMARKET PARTS DO NOT PERFORM TO CAR'S ULEV SPEC. BUT GM CATALYTIC CONVERTER IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AND HAS BEEN FOR MONTHS. OBVIOUSLY GM HAS AN ISSUE WITH PREMATURE FAILURE OF THIS PART AND DO NOT WANT TO ADMIT IT. GM CUSTOMER CARE WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY ESTIMATE OF AVAILABILITY NOR ANY INDICATION OF WHY IT IS ON BACK ORDER FOR SO LONG. PLEASE WE NEED A RECALL ON THIS FEDERALLY MANDATED EMISSIONS PART. I CANNOT PASS NJ INSPECTION.

I RECENTLY HAD AN ISSUE WITH MY TURBO BECOMING DEFECTIVE THAT I LATER FOUND OUT THE PART WAS ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND THAT THE MANUFACTURER KNEW THAT IT HAD A MANUFACTURING FLAW CAUSING MULTIPLE TURBOS TO BECOME DEFECTIVE. THIS IS A COSTLY PART TO REPLACE AND WITH IT BEING ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER HAS CAUSED A MAJOR INCONVENIENCE THAT HAS ALSO TRIGGERED MULTIPLE PARTS TO GO OUT LIKE MY IGNITION COIL AS WELL AS MY CATALYTIC CONVERTER THIS HAS ALSO CAUSED MY CAR TO OVERHEAT. AS OF RIGHT NOW THERE IS STILL NO NEWS ON WHEN THIS PART IS GOING TO BE AVAILABLE, WE ARE ONLY TOLD THAT THE PART IS BEING REMADE TO SUSTAIN THE STRESS OF THE EXTRA WORK THAT WAS NOT ORIGINALLY PLANNED FOR OUR ORIGINAL PART TO SUSTAIN.

TURBOCHARGER IS FAULTY AND CAUSING CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. CHEVROLET IS TELLING ME I HAVE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER 2-3 MONTHS BEFORE THE PART WILL BE IN BECAUSE THOUSANDS ARE WAITING ON THIS SAME PART FOR THE SAME MODEL YEAR CAR. I'VE PUT IN A CASE WITH THEM AND THEY SEEM TO BE IN NO HURRY TO GIVE ME ANSWERS ON HOW LONG THIS WILL ACTUALLY TAKE AND WHEN I CAN EXPECT MY CAR TO BE SAFE AGAIN. WITHOUT A LONER CAR, I FEEL VERY UNEASY ABOUT DRIVING MY BROKEN VEHICLE AND THEY ARE ACTING LIKE THIS IS NO BIG DEAL.

I WILL BE DRIVING OR STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT OR TURNING AND THE CAR WILL ACTUALLY COMPLETELY TURN OFF AND START COASTING. IF I AM AT A STOP LIGHT I WILL THAN HAVE TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND THEN TURN THE KEY TO START THE ENGINE AGAIN. I HAVE HAD TO JUMP MY CAR NUMEROUS TIME TO WHERE I KEEP A PORTABLE JUMP IN MY CAR. MY KEY WILL GET LOCKED IN THE IGNITION AND I HAVE TO STICK A WRENCH UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL TO GET IT OUT. I HAVE REPLACED MY ALTERNATOR AND MY BATTERY WAS SO SWOLLEN I HAD TO REPLACE THAT AS WELL. THE WIRING WAS REPLACED TO CONNECT THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR AND I JUST HAD THE BCM REPLACED. I'M STILL HAVING ALL THESE ISSUES AFTER ALL THESE REPAIRS. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING SINCE NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR AND IT HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY CAR!

MY VEHICLE FOR THE LAST YEAR HAS BEEN HAVING SOME ENGINE ISSUES WHERE IT WILL LOCK UP ON ME I CAN'T GET MY KEY OUT OF THE IGNITION AND ALL THE LIGHTS WILL START GOING OFF SAYING IT NEEDS SERVICE AND THEN IT WILL STOP AND GO BACK TO THE REGULAR ODOMETER. I'VE KEPT UP WITH MY OIL CHANGES I'VE KEPT UP WITH ANY SERVICE THAT NEEDS TO BE DONE ON MY VEHICLE BUT TODAY MY ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHEN I STARTED TO RUN MY AIR CONDITIONING. USUALLY I CAN GET UNDER THE HOOD AND WIGGLE SOME WIRES AND THEN THINGS WILL GO BACK TO THE WAY THAT IT WAS BUT LATELY MY CAR HAS BEEN SHUTTING OFF ON ME WHILE I'M DRIVING AND I HAD A SERVICE APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT WEEK TO GO AND SEE A PROFESSIONAL TO GET UNDER THE HOOD TO SEE WHAT WAS GOING ON I FIGURED IT WAS PROBABLY JUST ANOTHER OIL CHANGE IT IS ABOUT THAT TIME, BUT I WAS ON MY WAY TO A FRIEND'S WEDDING AND I HAD TO STOP AND WHEN I STOP MY CAR DID NOT CUT BACK ON I POP THE HOOD AND WIGGLED SOME WIRES LIKE I USUALLY DO BUT THERE WAS NO ACTIVITY WHATSOEVER UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. I STARTED THINKING TO MYSELF MAYBE I SHOULD PUT SOME OIL IN IT BUT I DON'T WANT TO RUIN MY ENGINE AND I STARTED THINKING MAYBE I NEED SOME ANTIFREEZE BUT AGAIN AND I'M NOT A MECHANIC SO I DON'T WANT TO ASSUME AND THEN DO SOMETHING TO MAKE THINGS A LOT WORSE BUT TODAY MY ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN ON ME AND I HAD TO WAIT IN THE HEAT FOR OVER AN HOUR TO GET A JUMP.

I WAS CHECKING A LOT OF THE STATS ONLINE FOR THE 2014 CHEVY CRUZE AND THERE WERE ALREADY REPORTS OUT SAFETY REPORTS THAT THERE WERE SOME ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLES IGNITION AND POWER STEERING AND THERE WERE NUMBERS AND CODES AND I'M A BIT UPSET BECAUSE THEY SOLD ME THIS VEHICLE KNOWING THAT THERE WAS SOME THINGS THAT WERE WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND THAT COULD HAVE BEEN MY SAFETY AT RISK WHILE I'M DRIVING ON THE ROAD AND THE ENGINE JUST SHUTS DOWN THE WAY IT'S BEEN DOING.

NHTSA ODI 11208449

I STARTED HAVING ISSUE LAST YEAR WITH THE ENGINE. I CALLED CHEVY AND WAS ADVISED MY WARRANTY EXPIRED 12 DAY'S BEFORE MY COMPLAINT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH I LEARNED THAT MULTIPLE CONSUMER'S ACROSS THE COUNTRY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH THE HEATING SYSTEM AND ENGINE. I FEEL MY CAR SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. THE VEHICLE WILL JUST SHUT OFF MID TRAFFIC WITHOUT WARNING. I HAVE INVESTED MORE THAN 1000 DOLLARS AND IT'S STILL HAVING ISSUES.

NHTSA ODI 11207684

GM SERVICE BULLETIN PIP5197J (AS AMENDED 10/2018) DESCRIBES MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THE PCV AND NON RETURN VALVE ON THIS ENGINE. IF EITHER PART FAILS IT IS A COSTLY REPAIR AND CAN LEAD TO OIL SPRAYING OUT OF THE VALVE COVER/INTAKE MANIFOLD. THIS HAPPENED TO MY VEHICLE IN OCTOBER AND HAS HAPPENED TO A HUGE NUMBER OF OTHER VEHICLES IN THE PAST 6 YEARS. THE OIL EXPECTORATE FROM THE ENGINE CAN BURN AND CAUSE SMOKE TO ENTER THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT LEADING TO RESPIRATORY ISSUES FOR THE PASSENGERS. THE ISSUE IS KNOWN TO GM BUT THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL OR SERVICE WARRANTY EXTENSION. IN ADDITION TO THE SMOKE ISSUE, THE OIL CAN ALSO FORM A HAZARD ON THE ROADWAY THROUGH OIL DROPLETS. A VERY TINY STOPPER BALL IN THE VALVE CAN MALFUNCTION, LEADING TO A CASCADE OF FAILURES THROUGHOUT THE ENGINE. THE SERVICE BULLETIN COVERS 4 SPECIFIC MODELS OF VEHICLES FROM 2011-2019.

I HAD THE CAR FOR ALMOST 4 YEARS AND SOME WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED. NOW I'M EXPERIENCING LOTS OF PROBLEMS. FIRST IT WAS COOLANT LEAK, RADIATOR, WATER PUMP, THERMOSTAT AND NOW THE HEAD GASKET ARE OUT CALLED DEALERSHIP & GM AND THEY SAY THE CAN'T DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. CURRENTLY STILL PAYING FOR A FOR THE CAR AND HAVE NOT RECEIVED NO HELP FOR EITHER PARTIES MENTION ABOVE. I WILL LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS CAR IS IN THE LEMON LAW OR IF SOMEONE CAN HELP ME. THANK YOU

NHTSA ODI 11191497

VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO GM DEALER (LARKIN-COBB) CHEVROLET BECAUSE IT WAS LEAKING COOLANT. HAD TO ADD COOLANT TO RESERVOIR AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. DEALER FOUND A SMALL VALVE DRIPPING ON THE ENGINE AND REPLACED IT. THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER REMAINING POWERTRAIN WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF COMPLAINT/ISSUE. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO LEAK AFTER SAID REPAIR AND WAS BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER 2 MORE TIMES AND DYE TEST WAS DONE AND THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM. ON THE THIRD TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK AGAIN WITH THE SAME ISSUE..LOSS OF COOLANT. THE DEALER AND GM WARRANTY NOW WANT TO CHARGE ME FOR CYLINDER HEAD REMOVAL AND HEAD GASKET REPLACEMENT. I CONTENDED THAT THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY AT THE TIME OF INITIAL REPAIR AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED AND SHOULD STILL BE FIXED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. GM WARRANTY REP SAID NO...THE "DATE" HAD EXPIRED. NOW I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY..AND GM WONT "OWN" UP TO ITS WARRANTY. CANT JUST TAKE THE VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE IT WAS SETTING OFF "HIGH TEMPERATURE" CODE WHEN AT IDLE AND ALSO MOVING. AFTER RESEARCHING..THESE CHEVROLET CRUZES HAVE A VERY BAD HISTORY OF COOLING PROBLEMS...INCLUDING WATER PUMP, TURBO SEALS, AND BLOWN HEAD GASKETS. GM SHOULD HONOR THIER WARRANTYS AND FIX THE ENGINE AND COOLING PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR.IN MY OPINION, ANY COOLING PROBLEM SHOULD BE FIXED BECAUSE IT IS BADLY ENGINEERED.
