Same overheating issues as mentioned in 2011-2014 water pump recall. All 2015+ models need to be included in recall. I have paid a lot to have issue fixed but car is still overheating. Please update and include 2015 models in recall. I don't feel safe driving my car.
I noticed one day while driving that my engine was running very hot. When I arrived to my destination, I popped the hood and discovered extremely low coolant level. Also noticed fluid leaking from under my car. I took it to a local shop to be evaluated. It was determined that I needed to replace my water pump & thermostat. I am only at 41,000 miles.

Vehicle was driving down highway at 45 miles per hour when I received a chime alarm telling me my car was overheated. No warning before this of low coolant. Diagnosed as a failed water pump. Did a google search and come to find out several complaints on this happening to this year and make of vehicle. My car has 57,000 miles on it and many complaints have been sent out by others of this issue. I think its time to take action as this is obviously a big problem with this vehicle. I was proud to buy a chevy Cruze and feel ashamed of myself fpr not looking up issues before I bought it. Vehicle went I to limp mode without prior notice and could have cause a major accident.

Water pump leaked, replaced that. Hose to the water pump leaked, replaced that. Now blown head gasket. Breaks have squeaked since I bought the car.
Takata recall. The problem is our water pump. The car only has 63,000 miles on it. We had it fixed by a mechanic but can still smell antifreeze the same smell when the water pump went out and check engine light came back on. Hopefully you people can figure this out or if there are more complaints about this problem because it cost us a lot of money and had to cancel appointments because of it. The car was being driven by my wife on the highway when she noticed she didn't have any heat pulled into a driveway and saw lots of fluid around the engine with a strong smell of antifreeze.
Water pump failure. The recall on the Cruze is for the years prior and still an issue for the 2015 model.
When driving my 2015 chevy Cruze down the highway I noticed that the temperature of the car was going up past the normal point and that the heater was no longer working. About 5 minutes later the display said "a/c turned off due to excessive engine heat" and then the car proceeded to go into "limp" mode where it could no longer be driven and told me to pull over and allow it to idle. After a minute or two with the engine temperature not going down, I turned off the car and had it towed to a gm certified mechanic who reported that the water pump had gone out and that the car had been leaking coolant.
While driving at approximately 40 mph, I noticed engine coolant leakage had occurred. All the coolant had been evacuated from the reservoir onto the pavement. Vehicle had to be towed to the mechanic shop and evaluated. Mechanic told me that the water pump had leaked all the coolant and had to be replaced along with the thermostat. According to service bulletin 14371a, only model year 2011-2014 are affected. I believe that model year 2015 should be added.
