Crankcase (pcv) problems of the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze

Our chevy Cruze had started shifting strange while driving, losing power and it would start to idle rough, and just shut off, a day later the engine light came on and we ran a code scanner on it to find out what was wrong. 7 error codes came up and it all led to a failed pcv valve. Two days later it was in the shop and we are now faced with a major repair cost.

Replaced pcv valve assembly twice and still leaks oil from cover and cap. Runs rough especially when idling, bad gas mileage.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze. While driving 10 mph, the check engine warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle failed to accelerate. In addition, the contact stated that the vehicle consumed oil. The vehicle was taken to chuck hutton Chevrolet (located at 2471 mt moriah rd, memphis, TN 38115, (901) 318-3703) where it was diagnosed that the turbo head failed internally and was pushing exhaust fuel into the engine crankcase. The dealer stated that the turbo head needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number. The approximate failure mileage was 83,000.

I bought my car in 2015, it is a 2012 chevy Cruze eco. I've had to replace the camshaft cover(pcv) 2 times in a year due to the gasket being crap and causing horrible oil leaks! here I am again, changed it and it is again faulty and leaking oil. This needs to be warranty and covered by gm. I've already had to do the water pump myself because they wouldn't fix the water pump at any dealer. This is an ongoing issue with the oil leak, and needs to have a recall too fix anything, causing this problem.

Car was like new for a few months, driven to and from orlando maybe 4 times, but mostly use it for work to take my daughter to school then it started the check engine light being on, then shortly, car started jerking while parked, or on brake, and the "check stabili track control" light comes on, and then would just turn off. I would start smelling a very strong burnt smell but no oil was falling to the floor, but once I stopped driving there would've smoke everywhere. Was told there is a vacuum leak coming from pcv which is built in valve cover. . . Have had valve cover changed 3 times in 3 weeks and each time, it looked like someone died under my hood and bled oil! am told that there is too much pressure coming in and so causes oil to find a way out and leaks it spills it slashes, and it's a mystery! also, there is another leak that all of a sudden strated from the side of the engine! when doing my research, there are soooooo many people with the same problems! this needs to be some sort of recall. Please help!.

Tl the contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze. While driving 55 mph, the contact heard a high pitched noise coming from the engine compartment. The vehicle was pulled over and turned off. When the vehicle was restarted, the check engine indicator illuminated. The vehicle was driven to nalley Chevrolet (4200 jonesboro rd, union city, GA 30291, (678) 369-6497) where it was diagnosed that the pcv valve was missing and the engine was intaking too much air. The dealer stated that they had to replace a shaft membrane. The manufacturer stated that there were no current recalls on the vehicle. The repairs were completed. The failure mileage was 89,000.

The valve cover and pcv valve leaks air bad and is defective. It constantly causes surging and multiple obd codes and the stabili/trac to flash and the radio to flash off and on. It idles rough and shuts off rough too. The gas mileage isn't as good as it should and the power isn't as good as it should. There should be a recall on this known defective pcv valve cover to be fixed.

Even after free repair due to being covered under warranty, the new pcv valve and cover are leaking again. Engine idles roughly, both in park and in drive. This is a known issue with Chevrolet Cruze, but my VIN is not part of the recall. Main error code p0171- bank 1 system too lean- is being picked up (check engine light came on yesterday morning (April 10, 2018)), along with error codes: p0106, p015b, p0236, p0237, p1101, p112d.

5 cam shaft covers replaced, due to internal pcv failure. . . Also causes dipstick to pop out, spraying oil through engine bay. . . Hundreds of complaints on internet forums about this problem.

Coolant leak. Outlet housing cracked. Oil leak. Pcv valve cover leaking.

Mil came on while driving, vehicle set p0171 p0106 codes, idles rough. Valve cover cracked at pcv housing and pcv valve stuck open resulting in air leak.

Very strong smell of burning oil when car comes to a stop. Oil sprayed all over the top rear of engine and down back of engine. Dealer replaced pcv valve and manifold cover at 44,678 miles due to recurring antifreeze leak and lean fuel / low vacuum condition. Going back to dealer again I guess before it bursts into flames.

I am wondering when gm is gonna admit fault on these chevy Cruzes? my mechanic father owns one. He's had to replace valve cover gasket on his 3x. Mine at least 4-5x now. One bad oil change at a dealership almost cost me my engine at sunfair Chevrolet. They left 2 rings on the oil fuel filter causing it to leak all over my engine compartment which left me roadside the next day after driving it 2 hours the night before back in Aug 2016. So they gave us 10k miles over this incident in case my engine blew. It ran a bit hotter than it did before this incident. I also noticed a burning smell. Enclosed in the scanned documents you will find a letter from Chevrolet discussing a "engine light" coming on and engine coolant leak from the water pump reservoir leading to a drip of coolant onto the engine or onto the ground. Overtime, the loss of coolant will reduce cooling performance and eventually could lead to engine overheating. Well, that isn't the only issue. Look at my scanned documents to see how many times the valve cover has been the issue. Always the engine light coming on and pull codes. A mechanic friend, replaced the valve cover gasket for me before it became a recall to save me$. Engine light came on again in 1 year. The pcv valve was built into the valve cove creating a chronic problem. Leads to a loss of turbo power. The last time manifold had to be repaired, they lifted the valve cover to get to it; leaked oil one day after my husband just replaced it. We assumed that was the issue (again), so instead of taking it in, he replaced the seal before taking it in. Someone please help us. Last fix was Aug. 2023, one day after it was in the shop. Over $1200 in repairs I called gm, they told me to take it into the dealership. They focused on an oil leak from oil feed line. 4 days in still wasn't repaired. 1-20-14 I think was first incident of a valve cover issue. This is only 2 years after the car was "new". 137k miles on it now. Faithful with oil changes.

Please print off the scanned documents and add them to the complaint form # 11512592. I needed more room to upload 4 more jpeg files to show the history of the problem with the valve cover and pcv valve attached to it. Thank you.
