Car suddenly overheated and within 30 seconds managed to spray coolant everywhere. The coolant went in the spark plugs, warped the head and managed to enter the piston compression chamber. The head warped and allowed coolant in the engine. This issue should have been just a simple fix and a refilling of coolant but instead has become a full engine disaster. Luckily I was not on a highway when this happened and I was on an empty road going 55 or this could have become a greater issue. When the coolant housing busted it sprayed all over the engine bay and some even made it on the windshield cutting some of my visability. I feel fortunate that I was driving in a straight line and not in the middle of traffic or a winding road.
The vehicle has had overheating issues since I bought it. Repaired it twice and is experiencing problems again. I have changed all components of the cooling system to no avail. I have come across countless complaints about this. Why hasn't there been a recall for this yet?.

The dealership where the service is being completed has advised that the 2016 chevy Cruze is very well known for this type of problem. The last time the vehicle was in for service it took 49 days for the problem to be fixed. The service department said that the parts that were needed were on back order because so many chevy Cruze's had the same issue. This is a safety issue because the vehicle could break down at any time and we could be in a very remote area without any help. The vehicle has been worked on for this problem at sanborn Chevrolet 1210 s. Cherokee lane, lodi California 95241-1057. Telephone number 209-334-5000. It appears that general motors is well informed about this issue but chooses to put their customers at risk.
