Radiator problems of the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze

Radiator, thermostat.

*engine fire* 4/10/19. . . Esperanza hathaway was in the car and it was idling at the sandy, utah mcdonalds parking lot when smoke and smell came from engine. She put out fire with water. I arrived 15-20 minutes later to help. I inspected engine compartment and did a visual check only to find burnt wiring. There was no other known issues and verified no fluids spilled. I called the insurance company and they had towed to riverton Chevrolet to work with Chevrolet and have known engine fire risks. 2014 Chevrolet cruise case# 95243938936 (gm) VIN: 1g1pa5sh4e7460393 4/11/19 insurance company towed to riverton motors. Riverton motors invoice# 6209533 / 6206861/1 4/11/19 the day after the engine fire, I received a call from fred uribe (service rep. ) from the riverton motors service center. He stated that there was oil all over and it needed repair. I told him that the car was in for an engine fire and I never had an oil or any car leaks. He told me it would be ~$600 to repair the oil cooler leak and it needed to be repaired before the engine fire issue. A few days later fred called and said it was actually a transmission fluid leak. They diagnosed the fire as being started from the transmission fluid leak? the invoice wrongly stated that I reported a leak needing repair and not the fire I reported!!! I informed riverton motors that there was an engine fire and not any leaks. Invoice incorrectly stated: customer stated vehicle has a coolant leak, later stated the customer stated vehicle has an oil leak. And then vehicle found the radiator leaking. The invoice did not state the actual reason for the service was an engine fire!!!! state farm insurance claim: 44-8388-q93 amount:  $148. 78 comprehensive - fire 5/20/19 reported to gm/machella engine fire 2014 Chevrolet cruise case# 95243938936 6/10/19 reported to NHTSA.

I had the car for almost 4 years and some warranty has expired. Now I'm experiencing lots of problems. First it was coolant leak, radiator, water pump, thermostat and now the head gasket are out called dealership & gm and they say the can't do nothing about it. Currently still paying for a for the car and have not received no help for either parties mention above. I will like to know if this car is in the lemon law or if someone can help me. Thank you.

Problem no. 1, my Cruze has lost power, the heater puts out cold air, the radiator is losing fluid, the engine has started to over heat, and there is wet spot under the exhaust pipe when I idle the engine! that means my car has ether a blowen head gasket or cracked head! the car has less then 85,000 miles and if the head is cracked, I think I know why because gm decked the block the short-way center out to the ends! witch can leave a valley in the center of the block! they made the same mistake with the grand am quad-4! the head all cracked between cylinders 2 and 3 because the block wasn't decked square! I have to take it to the dealer on sat 12/29/18 wish someone would check the block, I know the dealer will try to blame my and to make me pay for some or all of it, even though it is sill under warranty! problem no. 2, I purchased a new chevy Cruze eco with a manual transmission 4 years ago, I got it because I wanted a high mpg car and I have been driving standard transmission since I started driving and I knew I could better mileage then rated (65. 5 mpg my best score!), but the shifter has to much slop in it, I had a cutlass with a hurst shifter that was 16 inches tall and used that had less slop! I have complained to dealer about it since the day I got car! three times I have put the transmission in both first and third gear at the same time! I can't tell you how many time I have missed the shift while still holding all the way in position! if I am in a hurry I can't find the gear at all! problem no. 3, the hydraulic throw-out bearing is slushy and slow. Because the master-cylinder and feed-line is to small! I am a fast shifter, and I can out shift the clutch! that is bad because the pressure plate doesn't close fast enough it causes excess ware and burning of the clutch!.

For the past year I've been dealing with my car overheating. The screen will display ac off due to high engine temperature, from then the screen will go to engine overheated idle engine, every time I drive these signals come on, if I stop at a stop sign or red light cold air automatically stars to kick out. I've taken it to three different chevy dealerships along with two other repair shops, I've had a new water pump, new thermostat, timing house sensor changed and radiator flush done over the course of a year in a half and still to this day no one can seem to fix it.
