Check Engine Light On problems of the 2013 Chevrolet Cruze

In regards to TSB # 16-na-015 engine stall or stumble. Ignition coil wire fretting. This problem is dangerous and can happen at any given time while driving without warning and dtc codes. (check engine light) . When the cars stall you have no power steering and no power brakes and could and will cause an accident if it has`nt happened as of yet . Resulting in injury and or death. With minimal research I have found this is a known and ongoing global issue that g. M. Has known about since 1-21-2016. All these cars need to be recalled and repaired prior to anybody losing there life.

I have a 2013 chevy Cruze 1. 4l turbo. The past month or so when I am driving on an incline or hill it loses power and the traction control light and stability control light comes on and the check engine light flashes. About a week ago I was coming home from class and my car lost power and almost got smashed by a semi and today it lost power and almost got rear ended. Have had several mechanics look at it and they can find the problem.

While driving in the city street the check engine light came on and started flashing. The traction control light came on followed by a message in the dashboard stating �stabilitytack� was not working. The vehicle then began shaking and was not able to shift gears properly. The rpm was having to rev harder than usual to keep the vehicle up to speed. I had to pull over to the side of the street and turn the car off. Neither idling or shutting of the vehicle helped with the problem.

While my son was driving the car on the highway the engine started to smoke. He pulled over and turned off the car. He waited 10 mintues and started the car to head back home. When he arrived home liquid was leaking out the car and the car had smoke coming from the engine. At this time the check engine light was on. Gm had sent a recall notice in the mail (n202299080), a couple of days prior. I called them on Monday and they told me to take it to a dealer. I called the local chevy dealer and told them about the recall notice. He told me to bring it in. I called a tow truck driver and left the car at the chevy dealer. Ater they had the car for two weeks, they explained that it will be $2000 to fix the vehicle, even though there are currently 4 recalls on the vehicle. I called gm several times to ask how are they going to rectify this, with no call-back. The vehicle is still at the chevy dealership.

This issue has been ongoing since last year. I have been getting messages on my dash with errors such as service traction control/service stabilitrak. The car slows down to 5 speed and it stalls /jerk when driving. This is not safe and I almost got into an accident because of it. This vehicle is not safe. Took my car to the dealership for a diagnosis check and was told nothing showed up but a low battery. I got that fixed and the car is still having the same issue. When driving on the highway/streets/expressways when all of a sudden my car decelerated and I got the message engine power has been reduced/service traction control/service stabilitrak as well as my check engine light came on. Because of this, I was forced to pullover while almost being hit by other vehicles. This was extremely dangerous and scary for me because I have no idea what happened and it could have cost me my life, as well as others. I have taken the vehicle to chevy and firestone auto complete and no one knows why this is happening.

I have had nothing but issues with the car since I've had it and fixed everything that was wrong with it the the palm Chevrolet dealership that said was wrong with it and yet nothing has been resolved my stabilitrak control service system light came on along with the check engine light as they are flashing. I'm having a very hard time getting traction I have a 1 year old daughter and I don't feel that this car is safe for her. I want this issue looked into I have spent money that I don't have to just try to resolve the problem and yet it's not fixed.

My 20 yr old daughter bought this car in may 2020. She had it 1 week and ended up broken down on the side of the road the interstate, 3-1/2 hrs away at school because the catalytic converter went out. 2 weeks and a new catalytic converter, I am on the side of the road because she couldn't stay and wait for it, and we wouldn't let her take it until we knew it was right. Another 4 weeks later, replaced the motor and catalytic converter again, and the check engine light comes back on within 2 weeks and leaves me stranded on the highway once again! this time the reading showed only an O2 sensor so my husband changed it. The car ran fine for a while, then the check engine light came back on. Not long after this, the stabilitrak warning light also came on and so there are 13 error codes coming up! we have always been a Chevrolet family, but not anymore! this has ruined us! and when/if we can get it running well enough to get rid of it, it is gone! the error codes attached are from July & September 2020. I didn't get a picture the last couple of times that my husband checked it. General motors there are hundreds of complaints. And that's just the ones who actually take the time to hunt the NHTSA down and file a complaint. Not everyone will do so! I personally know of at least one other person in my hometown (of less than 20,000) that owns a 2013 Cruze that is having the exact same problems! I know we are just little people to you. But these are our lives! if we could afford to drive a high-priced, top-of-the-line vehicle, trust me, we would!.

While driving and in motion the vehicle shuts off. After shutting off the abs malfunctions and the steering malfunctions. This has happened twice now, both on city streets. Once disabled the vehicle will not restart on it's own; it doesn't even turn over. The vehicle will, however, restart if jump started. The first occurrence presented with a check engine light that coded as a faulty cam shaft sensor. This was replaced and the check engine light went away. The second occurrence presented with no lights or warnings. Both the battery and alternator were tested and are functioning.

The last few days I have been getting messages on my dash with errors such as �service traction control/service stabilitrak�. Took my car to the dealership for a diagnosis check and was told nothing showed up. However, this morning while on my commute to work, I was driving on the highway when all of a sudden my car decelerated and I got the message �engine power has been reduced/service traction control/service stabilitrak� and my check engine light came on. Because of this, I was forced to pull onto the shoulder of the road while almost being hit by other vehicles. This was extremely dangerous and scary for me because I have no idea what happened and it could have cost me my life, as well as others.

My 2013 chevy Cruze lt has an issue with the turbocharger. It appears to be a very common issue among chevy Cruzes. The code I believe it gives is p0299. While the acceleration and power always seemed off since prior to the incident, the first time the check engine light came on was at about 71,400. I was driving on a highway at the time. However, there have been occasions when I'm going uphill and despite the sufficient horsepower, it won't accelerate as it should. As a result, the turbocharger issue has caused the car to go much slower than the surrounding cars while going uphill, which clearly seems to endanger the driver and passengers as well as surrounding cars.

There was a recall on 2013-2014 chevy cruz turbos with certain VIN numbers. I own a 2013 chevy Cruze, with the exact engine (1. 4l turbo engine). My turbo is going (the exact same issue with the recalled part for the other chevy Cruze's), but my VIN isn't included in the recall. I wanted to reach out to see if the recall wasn't expansive enough. It seems strange that my less-than-60,000 mile, 5 year old car has the exact same problem as other cars built with the same engine / year, and that the problems aren't related. It's $1600 to fix, and if it was a defect from the manufacturer, that seems like an unfair amount to pay. The issue hasn't incapacitated the car yet; it was diagnosed through a check engine light on my car when I was getting a tire fixed at the dealership.

I have taken my car in with the check engine light. They said it was due to a oil cap. I called and they informed me that they could not find anything wrong. Since then the engine light has been on and off and now the traction control light is on and the engine revs very high.

3/22 -- on my way to work (a brief 5-mile drive), the �check engine� light came on and a warning about the stabilitrak system appeared on my dashboard display screen. The engine power was automatically reduced, and my car would not go beyond 25-30 miles per hour. Fortunately, I had exited the highway and had just turned left onto a surface street. At the time, it was raining, but not heavily. This was the first time that I had started my car that day, so the engine was fresh. I was able to make it to work; however, when I left work a couple of hours later, the �check engine� light and stabilitrak warning were still displayed. I drove straight home. 3/23 -- when I started my car, the �check engine� light and stabilitrak warning were still displayed. I ran a couple of errands around town, and nothing changed. I decided to �rest� my car for a day or two while I researched the situation and figured out a plan. 3/25 -- when I started my car, the check engine light was still on, but the stabilitrak warning was gone (I. E. , my dashboard display appeared as it normally would, except for the �check engine� light). After I had driven my car to make a couple of stops around town, the stabilitrak light came back on. 3/26 -- there were no warning lights displayed at all when I started my car; I was able to drive my car around town during the morning with no warning lights coming back on. 3/27 -- when I drove to work, the �check engine� light and stabilitrak warning were not on when I started my car; however, they did came back on just as I arrived at work (about 5 minutes after I had started my car). For safety reasons, regardless of whether the warning lights are displayed or not, I have taken care to drive only when I absolutely need to, only on surface streets, and with my speed at or below 25 mph. This is obviously not sustainable long-term.

The car has some kind of electrical problems. The check engine light goes on and I take the car back to the dealer and get problems fixed, and within a month the check engine light comes on again, and there are new problems with the car. When those problems get fixed, the check engine light comes on again within a month. This is a cycle that keeps going. The check engine light comes on at different times, usually while driving. I believe the electrical system is causing cascading failures in different systems.

Starting at 20-30k miles, service stabilitrak would come on and check engine light would blink for 30 seconds. After shutting of the car the service light would go off. Each time I took it to a dealership the code was clear and they weren't able to find out what was wrong. I got charged for $180 for checking up and not having a problem once. All the other times I brought in the vehicle they found something wrong and didn't charge me. Finally over the couple years I owned the vehicle and now at 80k miles, the service stabilitrak light had been coming on more and more, I finally got it to come on and got an appointment right away. I took it in and they took 2 days to find out that all my spark plugs and my coil pack was rusted and corroded. It cost $700. I live in California there is no salt on the roads and I don't live by the ocean. This should not have happened.
