Been hearing ticking noise coming from the engine. Check engine light is on. Code p0234.
Turned onto a major highway and a code came on and then it wouldn't accelerate, made some weird clanking noise, the noise comes and goes but is loud, rpms were high. Car has been well maintained oil changes every 3000 miles. Took to independent mechanic and problem was unidentified. Calling dealership in the morning.
My check engine light turned on, so I took it in and they said the valve cover needed to be replace. The cost was $280. 00 to replace it. When starting the car there is a loud clanking noise. This only happens when starting the car. We thought replacing the valve cover would correct this issue, but it did not. The car still has a really loud clanking noise. Once the car is moving it drives fine. (manual shift car) however our fears are that if something breaks while driving down the freeway, that it could cause engine loss or worse freeze in the middle of cars driving 75mph and cause a sever accident. Can y'all please check into this and let me know if there has been any recalls with this issue?.
On 10-1-14 my Cruze eco would not start. After multi tries and hearing only clicking sounds it did start. After getting to my destination and letting the car sit for hours it did the same thing again. Contacted dealer was told to bring car in which I did on 10-3-14. After a week, they stated they showed the alt was not charging and replaced it then again because 1st one they recieved from g. M was defective. On 10-10-14 picked up car started it up went home and let sit for about a hour then tried to start and again it only clicked but this time there was 3 messages and one was to roll window up and down? why? does these Cruzes have electrical issues or computer issues? contacted selling dealer again and was told to bring it back which I did on 10-13-14. Waiting on my new Cruze again to be fixed and wondering why do these 5 star Cruzes have so many problems according to what I have been reading the last few days without g. M doing something. I am not satisfied with this car.
