CHEVROLET AND PONTIAC CANNOT DO A DIAGNOSTIC UNLESS WE PAY THE COST ON WHAT EVER VEHICLE BEING RECALLED. THEY TOLD US TO SCHEDULE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND PAY FOR IT AND ANY NECESSARY REPAIRS ALSO. THEY ALSO SAID THE VEHICLES WARRANTIES HAS EXPIRED. SO THE DEFECTS ARE THE CUSTOMERS FAULT FOR PURCHASING THEIR PRODUCTS. THEY HAVE US PENDING FOR AND UNKNOWN REASON. WHEN THEY FIRST CALLED THEY DID MENTION A $500.00 VOUCHER OR A NEW CAR, BUT THAT CAME TO PASS ALSO. SOMEONE NAME .... REGIONAL SUPERVISOR TOLD US THAT, AND IT WAS ALL LIES. WE STILL PENDING....THIS IS A FOLLOW UP CLAIM # 8-4866033982.

MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS BEGIN FLASHING, THE RADIO TURNS OFF, THE BLINKER SOUND STOPS WORKING, THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM, SERVICE STABILITRAC AND STEERING VEHICLE MESSAGES FLASH ON THE DASHBOARD. I SAW THIS ISSUE REPORTED IN A GM BULLETIN HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2015/SB-10057574-8899.PDF BUT MY DEALERSHIP SAID MY CAR ISN'T AFFECTED EVEN THOUGH IT IS THAT YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL AND THE SAME EXACT THINGS ARE HAPPENING. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING, IT STARTED OFF ONCE OR TWICE A TRIP, NOW IT IS CONSTANTLY HAPPENING SO MUCH SO I CANNOT EVEN LISTEN TO MUSIC. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHEN I AM IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC.

TAKATA RECALL. THE PROBLEM IS OUR WATER PUMP. THE CAR ONLY HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT. WE HAD IT FIXED BY A MECHANIC BUT CAN STILL SMELL ANTIFREEZE THE SAME SMELL WHEN THE WATER PUMP WENT OUT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. HOPEFULLY YOU PEOPLE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT OR IF THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT COST US A LOT OF MONEY AND HAD TO CANCEL APPOINTMENTS BECAUSE OF IT. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN BY MY WIFE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN SHE NOTICED SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY HEAT PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY AND SAW LOTS OF FLUID AROUND THE ENGINE WITH A STRONG SMELL OF ANTIFREEZE.

WHILE DRIVING I NOTICED MY VEHICLE WASN'T GIVING OUT MUCH HEAT, I WAS FREEZING AND I EVEN LET MY CAR HEAT UP BEFORE LEAVING. SOON A WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SAYING "AC OFF DUE TO HIGH ENGINE TEMP" IT WAS THEN I LOOKED AND NOTICED MY TEMPERATURE GAGE AND REALIZED MY CAR WAS OVERHEATING. I GOT IT HOME SHUT IT OFF AND THE FAN WAS STILL GOING. SO I STARTED MY CAR AGAIN, LOOKED AT THE GAGES TO SEE THAT EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL. I PROCEEDED TO TURN MY CAR BACK OFF AND THIS TIME THE FANS TURNED OFF. DOING SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE MANY CASES IN WHICH THIS IS HAPPENING WITH OTHER 2015 MODELS AND ALSO WITHIN 2014 BACK TO 2012. HOPING THIS IS AN ISSUE CHEVY CAN MAKE RIGHT.

I WAS REAR ENDED BY A DRIVER TRAVELING OVER 45MPH WHILE I WAS AT A FULL STOP. THIS IMPACT SLAMMED MY VEHICLE INTO THE TRUCK INFRONT OF MINE, AND SHOULD HAVE CAUSED THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. DESPITE THE ONBOARD COMPUTER ALERTING ME THAT THEY HAD, NO AIRBAGS IN THE CAR DEPLOYED. THERE WAS HOWEVER A DISTINCT ODOR AND WHITE POWDER PRESENT, LEADING ME TO BELIEVE THEY MAY HAVE ATTEMPTED TO.

WHEN DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVY CRUZE DOWN THE HIGHWAY I NOTICED THAT THE TEMPERATURE OF THE CAR WAS GOING UP PAST THE NORMAL POINT AND THAT THE HEATER WAS NO LONGER WORKING. ABOUT 5 MINUTES LATER THE DISPLAY SAID "A/C TURNED OFF DUE TO EXCESSIVE ENGINE HEAT" AND THEN THE CAR PROCEEDED TO GO INTO "LIMP" MODE WHERE IT COULD NO LONGER BE DRIVEN AND TOLD ME TO PULL OVER AND ALLOW IT TO IDLE. AFTER A MINUTE OR TWO WITH THE ENGINE TEMPERATURE NOT GOING DOWN, I TURNED OFF THE CAR AND HAD IT TOWED TO A GM CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO REPORTED THAT THE WATER PUMP HAD GONE OUT AND THAT THE CAR HAD BEEN LEAKING COOLANT.

WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING OR YOU ARE DRIVING THE VEHICLE, YOU CAN PLAY A GAME ON THE STEERING WHEEL WHEN YOU TURN LEFT OR RIGHT AND YOU FEEL A FEW BLOWS AND THUNDERS THAT ARE REALLY WORRYING BECAUSE I TAKE A LOT OF THE TRACK FOR AND WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION

LEAKING COOLANT: THERE ARE MULTIPLE POSTS ONLINE WITH THIS ISSUE YET CHEVROLET IS NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY. MY CAR, AND MANY MORE ARE LEAKING COOLANT DAILY. HAS ANYONE LOOKED INTO THIS, OR IS THIS BEING INVESTIGATED? WE SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR A DEFECT THEY PRODUCED!
