Water Pump problems of the 2013 Chevrolet Cruze

Vehicle leaks coolant from water pump and thermostat.

Sammy burchett 1212 n park western #1 san pedro CA 90732. I have had problems overheating. I changed the hoses, thermostat, therm. Housing, 3 sensors, water pump, spark plugs, coolant. Now my car will not even start. It cranks but will not fire. What can I do.

I have an 2013 chevy Cruze 2lt 1. 4l engine. I discovered an oil leak upon my last oil change at 55,000 miles. Recently I discovered a second oil leak at the valve cover at 60,000 miles. I took it to the chevy dealership to have diagnosed and they confirmed a multi location oil leak, one at the cam cover and the second at the valve cover. Since this vehicle is under standard mileage for the age, this seems to be an indication of defect and not under normal maintenance. I am looking to have this covered by gm under extended special parts warranty like the water pump is covered. I also had a oil cooler fail and a water outlet assembly fail at 40,000 just outside of the factory warranty, but that just happened to be covered under extended warranty but does not change the fact that another failure happened in two's. I have a case # with gm and it is 9-6323496598 cam shaft cover seal and valve cover gasket failure. Feel free to call me, brock meldon at 412-559-4274.

June 2020 - car began popping up with the alert "a/c off due to high engine temp" - upon checking the car had coolant so replaced the thermostat. July 2020 the issue kept occurring and I began having to put coolant in the vehicle every few days. Took to another shop who said it was leaking from a hose - replaced hoses. Aug 2020 - issue continued and then stopped holding water all together - had to replace water pump, rez, thermostat, and various belts/hoses - drove the car for three days when the message popped up again. Took it back to the shop and was told that (despite it being 1 owner car) "someone" had put stop leak in it and it made the thermostat stick. They flushed the engine and replaced the thermostat again and the car drove for 1 week before the issue kept occurring. This time it started having trouble cranking and caused a blown head gasket. So now after 8 months and $3,500 I have replaced everything that could possibly make it overheat/have a coolant issue and had the entire engine rebuilt - hopefully this time it fixes the issue. This is a known issue and needs to be addressed.

Multiple incidents of overheating spanning over the period of a few years now: water pump, coolant housing, valve cover gasket, and most recently turbo charger coolant lines have all been replaced. Have not contacted manufacturer because the information everywhere says there are no recalls for this obviously very common problem! doesn't seem fair at all. This issue has left me stranded in traffic, on side of highways, having to call someone countless times, not to mention the repair and alternate transportation fees. I mean, what does it take to make something important enough to issue a recall for?!?!!.

Exact same coolant system problems as in the earlier model chevy Cruze recalls. Faulty coolant system, specifically a leaking water pump, inaccurate thermostat and leaking coolant feed and return lines to the turbocharger. So far it has cost me close to $1500 at only 110k miles and I still have to replace the blown head gasket which was the result of the coolant system being unable to cool the engine properly due to the bad water pump. Total lemon, this will be the second time the head gasket is blown within two years.

I went to the dealership service center where I bought my car because my stabilitrak was turning on and off on their self si I report it and when I was there they told me my coolant had a leaking and need to be replaced as long some hose and other parts as water pump that a was also under a recall to but they charged me $ 697. 95 where they shouldn't cuz I was a recall cover under special warranty my car have so I report it to gm where an investigation is being done to they can refund my money and I have proof of all was done to my car because I feel is an abused toward Chevrolet jersey city, NJ doingvthis to me and imagine how many they already had done it. Something need to be done immediately. . . If paperwork need to be provide I have it to be fax.

Very strong odor of coolant inside the car, brought it in to the dealer and they have replaced the water pump, heater core, did a pressure test on the coolant system and did a scab job of running a hose from my reservoir tank to under the car. I'm still getting coolant vapors into the car. Dex-cool has a safety warning about breathing antifreeze vapors. Inhalation: avoid breathing vapors or mists. Higher temperatures may generate vapor levels sufficient to cause adverse effects.

2013 chevy Cruze 1lt with the 1. 4 turbo engine. I have actually owned two of these cars, the first was a 2011. The complaint is about both and I suspect is the same in every one of these cars that have the 1. 4 turbo. My complaint is about a possible health hazard with these vehicles. They emit antifreeze fumes constantly and gm is now claiming that this is normal and they will not fix it. Shortly after I purchased the 2011 model I began to notice the smell of hot antifreeze every time I would drive the vehicle, I took it in for service several times and they done everything possible to fix it with no luck. Finally after about two years of dealing with this I got tired of it and traded it off for a 2013 same model. I know that sounds stupid and was but my reasoning was that I loved the car and thought that surely gm had corrected this issue by now(I was very wrong). Shortly after my purchase of the 2013 I began to smell the antifreeze again and again began the process with gm to get it fixed but as before, no luck. Finally after fighting with it for several months gm has called me back and said that the smell is normal operation for this vehicle. According to them the water pump is designed to leak a small amount and the leakage is caught in a retention chamber built into the water pump them evaporated out via the heat of the engine causing the constant smell. This is redicualas! I strongly believe that sniffing these hot antifreeze fumes all the time can't be good for you and will in the long term cause health issues. With this answer I ask gm to take the car back or at least let me trade it for another model but they are unwilling to help me any more. I know that this problem is wide spread, not just with my vehicle. If you go to Cruzetalk. Com and research this you will find hundreds of other people with the same complaint.
