1 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 11/05/2019

Check engine light came on 11/05 and that afternoon the car started to idle hard and sputter when stopped. The error codes read for a maf sensor; had that and the engine air filter replaced, and the car still sputtered but the light went out. I purcjased the car in 2015, it had 2300 miles at the time, and would make noticeable engine noise soon after. I took it back but the dealership mechanics said that it was a sensor and not to worry until the check engine light came on; they were talking about the the maf. On 11/12/2019, the light is on again. Also, the stabillitrak light comes on/off.

2 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 01/14/2019

The front crank shaft seal is bad. It makes the engine make a very loud chirping noise when it warms up. If you pull the oil dipstick out it stops. I've had to keep my dipstick out so that it doesn't chirp. It's causing other issues with car. Like stability control, fuel mileage and having to change oil more often. I've been trying to get it fixed but haven't been able to. I'm afraid that it is damaging the engine more than necessary. From what I've learned chevy is aware that this is an issue with the Cruze. But no recall has been issued to fix this. Service bulletin p11297b, 2-2015.

3 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 05/05/2018

Apprx. 29000 miles. Prob. 1: heater stopped workiing, prob. 2: vent blower motor making loud tinking noise. Prob 3: feel pulsating intermittently while driving, got really bad and service stabilitrak display appeared. Got to destination, car parked couple hours. Upon starting car and putting in drive with light acceleration it wouldn't move, accelerate more would jump forward then lock up. Next day had car towed to dealer. Picked car up 7 days later, it drives but now makes chirping noise when shifting with break completely depressed, break line chirping as well. Will bring back to dealer.

4 Engine Noise problem

Failure Date: 05/11/2016

Since owning my new 2015 Cruze I have had several concerns which have not been addressed of fixed by the technicians the list while traveling down the road my radio system has blacked out; shut off and restarted itself; it happens every other time I am in the car, sometime it happens several time on a long drive. I have also experience drifting of the car when traveling down the highway; when I correct the drift the steering wheel is stiff and causes an over correction pulling me the other direction. The biggest concern I have experience lately is the loud high pitched noise coming from under the hood; this occurs after I have parked the car and removed the key; one time I could hear the coolant lines gurgling. Very scary not knowing what is going on under there.
