Engine overheating, lost power while driving on the highway, coolant leaking, car was repeatedly trying to start on it's own without pressing the start button or having foot on break (I was outside the vehicle), sounds like it starts to crank over but won't start, drained battery completely. Many others with same model and year having similar issues. This needs to be a recall for this car.
The coolant is leaking, my engine light turned on while I was driving on a city street and it said my engine was high in temperature.
Multiple coolant issues. Bought 2/2019, took it back to the shop for coolant issues in 3/2019 and discovered its leaking coolant again. From the engine coolant water outlet.
Car has leaked oil and coolant since I got it. Constantly over heats. Loss of power. Engine revs and jumps. Constant replacements nothing works.
Tl- the contact owns a 2013 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while the vehicle was in for routine service the independent mechanic discovered that coolant had leaked from the thermostat housing. The vehicle was taken to the dealer keyes Chevrolet(5949 van nuys blvd, van nuys, CA. ) who diagnosed that the thermostat and coolant pipe seal needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure but no assistance was offered. The failure mileage was 33,000. Jft.
Second coolant leak in two months.
Coolant hose leak ruptured without cause or warning causing entire hosing system to explode and car overheated obviously while driving. It resulted in thermostat and housing along with additional coolant housing to be replaced about a month ago. Now my car is bellowing white smoke and idling funny and I find out I've blown a gasket. My VIN isn't listed but I see other chevys with this same coolant hose weakness issue as mine. Appears there are more than just those listed. Extremely costly repair. Also have similar issue with the fuel injection/take off with no power and slow to go which has almost been deadly in highway traffic. Will never buy another chevy.
Ok so I needed a new car and went and ended up at a nice looking used car lot and financed a 2013 chevy Cruze lt. Since purchasing the car. (at this moment I've only had the car for 23 days) I had the car looked over by my mechanic and everything looked good and fine. And since day 1 these are the recalls that have been made on this vehicle but not for my VIN but is happening with the car in order from when first noticed. First I was stopped at a red light and the car jerked forward and honestly scared me as it felt like I had just been hit by the car behind me. ( which wasnt the case as I got out to check). Well then after a few days im on the interstata and decided to use the speed control, at first it was just like you would expect it to be but after not even 5 minutes the car starts acting like in tapping and releasing the gas and will not stop unless speed control is turned off or stopped. So then I run over a nail and go to replace the tire and the mechanic looks over the car again and bring an oil leak to my atttention from the oil pan and shown visible oil on the gasket. (already under my limited dealer warranty). So since then I have checked the oil every day just to be sure im not running low and it wasnt low. Well like a week later I make a drive I have actually made in this car about 6 times already to have lunch with a friend and when I get there turn the car off and then the friend is 10 min away so I restart the car for the ac. Didnt have the car back on for 2 min and the car started beeping with engine overheat warning. Turned the car off and popped hood to check and from the overheating I guess there was pressure on the hose it just popped the hose from the clamp and coolant went every where. Had been away from the car and car was cooled and added more coolant to it. And everything is fine. Well then the next night out of no where the head gasket blew.
I have a leak in my coolant system. Since I've gotten the car in October 2016, I've experienced a weird burning smell, before I had even discovered what the issue was. In June 2017, my engine overheated due to a malfunction in my coolant system. As a result, I had my coolant flange replaced. A few days later, my car began to smoke and my engine went idle. The coolant leaks from the flange and the reservoir often. Sometimes, it leaks as I drive, other times, it'll be parked and leak out when idle. I never use my air conditioning or heat anymore due to the burning smell of the coolant. I had my coolant flange replaced a second time. My car was down for 3 months and I just got it repaired again. Last week, October 10, 2017, my car began to smoke again, my engine went idle, and when I popped the hood, the coolant had leaked out completely. Any time it has overheated and the engine when idle, I've been on the freeway, driving at least 60 mph or on the street, driving at least 30 mph. More recently, when it overheated, the car had been idle for 2 hours and then 5 mins into me driving it, it happened. I was driving down a dark highway, going about 25 mph. Before the engine overheated, I had 65% oil life and afterwards, I had 0% oil life. My uncle had just added coolant to my reservoir the day before, but it leaked out completely. Luckily, I was not alone this time. I'm always cautious that my engine will blow out when I drive it. My mechanic informed me to be sure that I always had coolant and water in my trunk at all times, in case it leaks out. I travel 40 mins to work every other day and it's quite frightening, knowing that at any time, my engine may overheat again, due to the coolant leak. I'm almost positive that there's a recall for this issue, but I need confirmation. I have not received a recall notice, but I've done research. .
Car has consistent coolant leak. Vehicle continues to overheat.
I have had a coolant leak and have had it repaired 5 times since I purchased. Repaired at suburban Chevrolet in eden prarie. Now it has to happen again so it is going back and I have had it towed and still owe 800 or so crazy.
