I have a water pump leak I have to constantly keep adding water so my vehicle won't run hot and my oxygen sensors are bad it doesn't in motion and stationary.
Message "a/c off, engine too hot" and fan running like crazy. Quick google search tells me this is a popular problem with this vehicle. Most suggestions said it would be a sensor. Changing the sensor worked for 3 days before problem came back. Just 6 months ago I had to replace the water pump and thermostat housing for an overheating issue as well.

Vehicle was taken into gm dealer (larkin-cobb) Chevrolet because it was leaking coolant. Had to add coolant to reservoir at least once a week. Dealer found a small valve dripping on the engine and replaced it. The vehicle was under remaining powertrain warranty at the time of complaint/issue. The vehicle continued to leak after said repair and was brought back to dealer 2 more times and dye test was done and they said they could not find the problem. On the third time the vehicle was taken back again with the same issue. . Loss of coolant. The dealer and gm warranty now want to charge me for cylinder head removal and head gasket replacement. I contended that the car was under warranty at the time of initial repair and the issue was not resolved and should still be fixed under powertrain warranty. Gm warranty rep said no. . . The "date" had expired. Now I have no choice but to pay for repairs that should have been covered under powertrain warranty. . And gm wont "own" up to its warranty. Cant just take the vehicle back because it was setting off "high temperature" code when at idle and also moving. After researching. . These Chevrolet Cruzes have a very bad history of cooling problems. . . Including water pump, turbo seals, and blown head gaskets. Gm should honor thier warrantys and fix the engine and cooling problems with this car. In my opinion, any cooling problem should be fixed because it is badly engineered.
Water pump leaks and causing the engine to overheat. My car has less than 53,000 miles on it. Found a service bulletin on the issue but for some reason, Chevrolet won't honor it and says my vehicle doesn't qualify for it. Bulletin #: 14371a.
I happen to check under my hood to see why I wasn't getting any heat in my car. I then came to realize that there wasn't any coolant, when I was there one 10 days prior at the dealership to get my oil changed and the paper stated that all fluids were checked. I then notified the dealership, and put some coolant in my car so I wouldn't cause any damage to the motor. They check it, claimed there wasn't anything going on with it. And sent me home. I then had a coworker tell me that what I was describing was my water pump. I then notified the dealership again that I was having the same issues, and that I am now smelling coolant in the car and my car act like its ready to stall. . They got me back in and checked what I was complaining about. They found out I was right it was the water pump. . I had found a recall about this whole thing and showed them, and because they checked by VIN number my car didn't have this recall but my car should have. It was for the 1. 4 engine, not my 1. 8. I had my water pump replaced, my thermostat and I am still having issues. This car is only 3 years old and shouldn't have these problems so early. Gm needs to do something for all Cruze owners cause I am tired of spending over 600 dollars and still having issues.
