2 Crankcase (pcv) problem

Failure Date: 02/19/2021

Bought 2015 Cruze lt used in 2017 from lhm used car supermarket. 3 months later I'm returning to dealership as there is a large quantity of dexcool on the ground. Still under warranty they replace the water pump. 3 months later and the vehicle starts shaking and shuddering while at stop lights looses power and even stalls on the highway. Took it to mechanic outside the lhm perview and mechanic stated: leaking coolant on transmission housing and pooling there drain plug stripped out causing massive oil leak and pcv bad needs replaced. The new mechanic replaced the oil pan and gave estimates for the parts and labor for the pcv and the coolant leak. Now don't get me wrong I love my Cruze but I was told id be close to what I owe on the car to repair it as Chevrolet will not do a recall on the massive issue parts, there is only 59,213 miles on the vehicle. Someone from Chevrolet needs to look into this and either fix the issue or make some sort of recompense for those who are having the same issue as I am.

7 Crankcase (pcv) problem

Failure Date: 08/24/2017

Our 2015 Chevrolet Cruze started idling at high rpms, had trouble shifting and the check engine light came on. We took it in and was told couldn't find the problem so they reset the code. It started again after about two weeks so we took it to an independent mechanic shop. They said it was the pcv valve and that they have seen a lot of Cruze' with this problem.
