Engine Oil Leaking problems of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze

After I did an oil change on my car it began to leak a little and build up on the undercarriage shield of the car then leaving a small puddle.

My vehicle was recalled for the valve cover gasket which may leak oil and drop down causing a fire. I was told by the dealership that this was fixed upon taken it to a mechanic because the oil was dripping down causing smoke and the part that it was dripping on was red hot which was the coil wire. Was in fact not fixed.

Tl the contact owns a 2011 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while her son was driving approximately 45 mph, attempting to slow down the brakes began to lock. There was smoke coming from the dashboard of the vehicle. The driver pulled over and was able to stop the vehicle by applying excessive pressure to the brake pedal. The driver and the passenger of the vehicle were able to get out of the vehicle by kicking the doors to force them to open. Once the passenger was able to get out of the vehicle the passenger side of the vehicle was engulfed in flames. The fire department was called and extinguished the fire. A fire department report was filed. The vehicle was towed and deemed totaled. There were no injuries and no medical attention was needed. The contact spoke with fort Dodge Ford Toyota Lincoln (2723 5th Ave s, fort Dodge, IA 50501 phone: (515) 576-7505) who informed the contact of a recall for the brakes and low oil leaking causing a fire. The vehicle's VIN was included in NHTSA campaign number: 13v36000 (service brakes, hydraulics) however, the vehicle was never repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage 188,000.

There is a bad oil leak on the car that I wasn't informed of and the oil plug has been stripped out and there is oil all under the motor and you can smell it when parked and it's starting to come through the vents on the inside of the car.

It leaks motor oil everytime it gets changed,theres always a huge pile of oil on the ground, I can also move the gear shift without needing to press the brake pedal . Overall its been a hassel to deal with it.

Oil leaking just below dipstick. Not from the dipstick itself but from a horizontal crease below it. Oil leaked onto heat shield and down onto exhaust. Burning smell comes through air vents making it hard to breathe in cab. Noticed this after driving on the interstate and minor city traffic.

My Chevrolet dealer informed me that my 2011 chevy Cruze has a leak in the transmission oil cooler lines. Is there or will there be a recall for this problem. I noticed (NHTSA campaign number:14v152000) the chevy silverado, suburban, sierra, tahoe, and yukon had a recall for transmission cooler line issues. Please let me know if/when Chevrolet will reimburse for the replacement and repair for this health and safety issue(potential vehicle fire). Thank you for your attention regarding this matter.

Received a safety recall notice on July 2012 for oil spills/leaks onto hot surfaces. I took my car into robbins Chevrolet dealership for check up immediately on July 23, 2012 and they modified the engine shield. Also, the battery was leaking acid and they replaced the battery, cables and fuse, block-cleaned.

I brought my new car in for a oil change on 5-15-12, they forgot to put the oil cap back on and I had oil everywhere inside my car it was a complete mess, I did not know it was smoking because it was a rainy and foggy night. By the time we parked it we thought it was on fire, my husband checked the oil and it was empty, we got towed back to chevy of milford to be fixed and cleaned, they said that there was oil in it and only a little came out. [not true] I don't really think the car runs the same after that, it spits and spudders alot. On July 23rd 2012 I bring it back to them for a recall # 12081. And asked them to also check why my car spudders and to check for a slow leak in the back tire. They got back to me later that morning and said, there is nothing wrong with the way it drives, and my tire cant be fixed I would have to buy another for $125. 00 because of where the hole was it could not be patched. I told them no on the tire and took it to a tire place, townfair tire took the screw out of it witch they didn't find [chevy of milford] and patched it from the inside at n/c. On 7-24-2012. I really don't feel safe in this car anymore after chevy of milford looked at it twice and came back with 2 lies. I don't even trust that they did the recall for all I know. Where do I go from here? please help, I have 2 small grandchildren I drive around in this car.

1st the vehicle failed to shift into reverse. The torque converter had disassembled and transmission was replaced. One month later the engine began to smoke, the valve cover had melted and needed to be replaced gm charged me for this under warranty part. Then, I was making a left hand turn onto a residential street my vehicle began to smoke inside the vehicle. I shut down the car and looked under the hood oil was in the anti freeze fill tank, I called gm they sent a truck and took it to dealership. The result; gm told dealership to replace engine, called back and said don't replace try to fix it. They replaced the turbo charger, turbo cooler, and oil cooler, only to have me back 5-6 times with cooling problems, the vehicle still has cooling issues, and goes back for service every two weeks or so. The vehicle was brought back to service as there were still shifting problems. They found the torque converter disassembled and transmission had to be replaced again, and then again a few months later. The vehicle has a steering issue that has been brought to the their attention. The steering locks up periodically when traveling over 30mph, and has made me afraid I will be driving and lock up permanently. The brakes are an issue on the vehicle now and prior to recall for brake assist, it is still hard to stop the vehicle. And brakes have to be replaced every 3 months. There is definitely an electrical issue with this vehicle as the emergency flashers worked periodically then completely stopped working, as well as the running lights burning out within a month of replacement on the passenger side of the vehicle. The dealership feels its not a problem. This vehicle may shut off from electrical issues eventually. When using the air conditioner the dashboard fills with over a half inch of condensation and leaks out of the vents profusely. Valve cover had to be replaced again.
