Check Engine Light On Problems of Chevrolet Cruze - part 2

Turbocharger is faulty and causing check engine light to come on. Chevrolet is telling me I have to continue to drive my car for at least another 2-3 months before the part will be in because thousands are waiting on this same part for the same model year car. I've put in a case with them and they seem to be in no hurry to give me answers on how long this will actually take and when I can expect my car to be safe again. Without a loner car, I feel very uneasy about driving my broken vehicle and they are acting like this is no big deal.

Bought my car in September and it was running fine. I live in arizona and now that it's July it's very hot outside. I noticed about a month ago my car started stalling for a moment when I would try to accelerate on the freeway. And now it has randomly started stalling when stopped at a red light. When this happens I have to turn the car off and try to turn it back on (usually takes a couple times). There is no check engine light that ever comes on when this happens. I live about 33 miles away from my work so I drive quite a bit and it's gotten to the point where I don't feel safe driving it. There is no check light engine on ever so I can't take it into a repair shop.

About a week ago I was driving home when my car decided to shift super hard and my rpm was jumping up scary high then my check engine light turned on and now it won't shift right or my rpm goes up really high the code that popped up was p0700.

The check engine light came on while I was driving stopped at advance soon as it came and then cut the car off and then it would not crank back. Had to have car towed to garage. Foudn out that it was the ecm computer messed up and only have 70,000 miles on the car. Garage called chevy and they stopped covering the computer 3 years ago due to so many calls about the computer messing up. This should have been a recall then and they will not cover the repairs to my car.

The vehicle has been in motion at any speed. . . When pressing on the gas"throttle all the way down" vehicle has a brief interruption of acceleration and check engine light comes on reporting code p0325. Engine knocks/shakes and lose acceleration and reduced power for over 50+ miles after each incident. I have had the engine repaired twice and rebuilt. Ecm has been reprogrammed and gm flew a engineer to troubleshoot I am again having problems 10k miles more and this is ongoing and dangerous. Please please investigate this as gm has not taken ownership of this defect. If you would like all 10+ service records related to this I am more than happy to share and onstar has preformed vehicle diagnostics after each instance. What ever you need please let me know! thanks for all that you do! there were a multitude of instances vehicals engine was rebuilt/replaced at 7k again at 14k and now at 40k power train is showing same signs and symptoms of previous issues.

I went to start the car and it would not start. Tried a second time and it started with a warning that it was in "reduced engine power". Could not drive the car. Put it in park, shut it off. Tried to start it again and it started in full engine power but with the check engine light on. It was recently serviced at denooyer Chevrolet in kalamazoo michigan due to the same issues, 3 times prior to this. Car has 70,000 miles on it and does not seem to be reliable at all with same issue occuring shortly after "service/repair". I want something done about this. I do not feel safe!!.

Tried twice, car did not start. No lights just dead. Tried once more started, all looked ok. Drove 1/4 mile engine died with a clunk and jerk, service power steering warning came on, then service traction control warning came on. Steered off road (power steering was working) put vehicle in park, tried to start several times. Interior light came on but would not start. After several minutes tried again, started and check engine light was lit. Drove to home and while in reverse to park, engine died again.

Tl- the contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while ascending up a hill at approximately 70 mph the vehicle suddenly lost power and reduced speed to 20 mph. During the incident the service stabilitrac and check engine light had illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the local dealer weimer Chevrolet(10355 mt. Savage road NW. Cumberland MD. ) who diagnosed that the engine piston had fail and the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 82,800. Jft.

My engine will just shut off randomly, with no warning at all. I have took it into dealer becase it was still covered until powertrain, of course they found nothing after having my car for 4 days. My car shuts off on the highway, in the middle of traffic, or while coming off the highway with cars trailing behind me. It shuts off sitting at red lights, when the auto start comes back on it never fully will come back on, and just completely shuts off. In which I have to put my car in park and start the car again, and at times it doesn't start right away! my check engine light has been up, however, the dealership and an auto store both pulled codes and none had anything to do with the actual engine. There is also a "service brake assist" warning that has been on as well. My breaks work, but you have to push down very hard for them to work at 100%. I have 2 children, and am a single mom, this is a huge safety concern and putting all of our lives at risk! no one seems to know what is wrong with the car, and I don't want any of us to get injured or die because of this issue, because sooner or later someone will.

My 2013 chevy Cruze lt has an issue with the turbocharger. It appears to be a very common issue among chevy Cruzes. The code I believe it gives is p0299. While the acceleration and power always seemed off since prior to the incident, the first time the check engine light came on was at about 71,400. I was driving on a highway at the time. However, there have been occasions when I'm going uphill and despite the sufficient horsepower, it won't accelerate as it should. As a result, the turbocharger issue has caused the car to go much slower than the surrounding cars while going uphill, which clearly seems to endanger the driver and passengers as well as surrounding cars.

My vehicle was stationary and no running. I entered the vehicle and started it. The service traction control light flashed then the service stabilitrak light flashed the lights went away and the vehicle drove fine. Several days later the same thing happened upon entering my driveway it started to sputter. Four days after that upon starting the vehicle the same lights came on in addition to the check engine light. Now when I start my vehicle the check engine light stays on and after the vehicle is warmed up the other two lights come on and then go off. My latest onstar diagnostic reports a problem with the ecm. I has been almost exactly three years to the date that these same things happened and were supposedly repaired under recall # 14801 and special coverage # 14311b. Please advise.

We have had an issue with a chemical smell when the defrost is on since we purchased the vehicle in September 2015. When taken back to the dealership, they could not find any reason for the smell. It fogs the windshield with a film, causes headaches and light headedness. It is what I believe to be the smell of coolant burning, but nothing was ever found so we just continued to drive it. On 8/15/2018, the fan kicked on very high, we received the ac was being shut off error due to the temperature and the check engine light came on. The very odd thing about this is that the temperature never showed it was high. The gauge showed 1 line over half towards the hot side. Got it home and let it cool down and realized the coolant reservoir was empty. I refilled it and the fan went back to running as it normally would. I decided to check it again today and the reservoir was empty again. I have not had it looked at again yet, but I think maybe the initial coolant issue just became a larger one. I have seen multiple people complain of both of these issues. Has there not been any recall for this? I am going to have it looked at again but I feel like for the amount of people with these issues with this year of Cruze something should have been done by now to resolve this.

For a little over a year, I have experienced the radio shutting off and on, stabilitrak showing as needing service, the car shuddering, and the check engine light coming on. I have brought the car into a mechanic 3 times to determine what may be causing the check engine light to come on, and 3 times the computer says air intake. I have had just about everything changed, check engine light goes off, I drive for about 30 minutes, and it comes back on. Over $700. 00 in replacement parts and labor, and still the problem persists. Today 7/1/2018, I drove down to have the oil changed and for the first time, the engine light has not come on, but now the car does not want to start and sounds like the starter or the battery is dying. This is above and beyond the most frustrating car problem I have every had, and I can't seem to find anyone capable of answering the problems with this car. The electrical problems spring up in the middle of nowhere while driving in town, and it seems to be okay for a few days if you mess with the battery cables, but they have already been replaced once and the problem is back!!!.

I was driving on the highway on my way to drop off my daughter to the babysitter when suddenly my steering wheel started getting hard and the car wouldn't run, I kept pushing the gas petal and nothing, my car wasn't running. When suddenly the check engine light started blinking and the traction control light as well. The car was off in the middle of the freeway, luckily there was traffic and the cars were barely moving. Until finally I turned it back on and continued driving. The following day when I was leaving to go to work my car felt hard and the engine was shaking ridiculously and I'd push on the gas petal on the car and it wouldn't drive. I had to leave the car at home and I wasn't able to call the dealer because it was closed due to memorial day. My car won't go and I'm waiting to see what the dealer is going to tell me. Keeping in mind that the car was brand new olds when I got it out of the dealer.

There was a recall on 2013-2014 chevy cruz turbos with certain VIN numbers. I own a 2013 chevy Cruze, with the exact engine (1. 4l turbo engine). My turbo is going (the exact same issue with the recalled part for the other chevy Cruze's), but my VIN isn't included in the recall. I wanted to reach out to see if the recall wasn't expansive enough. It seems strange that my less-than-60,000 mile, 5 year old car has the exact same problem as other cars built with the same engine / year, and that the problems aren't related. It's $1600 to fix, and if it was a defect from the manufacturer, that seems like an unfair amount to pay. The issue hasn't incapacitated the car yet; it was diagnosed through a check engine light on my car when I was getting a tire fixed at the dealership.

I have a very important issue I have regarding the 2012 chevy Cruze I bought on April 26th, 2015 with approximately 29,000 miles on it. It was purchased through carmax. As of this time my car has 60,000 miles on it. On Sunday, February 18th while I was driving the car on a major highway suddenly, I could not accelerate faster than 25mph, the check engine light came on, and the �d� for drive started flashing at me. It turns out that I needed a new transmission.

While driving my car would not accelerate. The car will not move when changing gears. I took the car to the dealership because the check engine light and stabilik service light came on. The mechanic diagnosed the car and replaced a connector. Now, the car gears don't work. Misdiagnosis.

This car has had issues since we purchased it brand new in 2012. Does not accelerate when merging on freeway or trying to pick up speed. It puts the driver at a very high risk of an accident. This car was purchased for my daughter to attend college and she feels very unsafe. We have had to have it towed and taken into shop several time for check engine light and loud shaking noise. This car has been nothing but a nightmare and seem to think based on reviews that these cars fall into the lemon category. We will be taking it to a very reliable mechanic this week and will wait to see what they find.

When driving( in any weather conditions) the car will loose engine power drop to around 5mph, is unable to accelerate and have to be pulled over. Re/ceive warnings stating "engine power reduced", "service stabilitrak" and "service traction control. The check engine light comes on along with several others. Pulling over and restarting the car usually corrects the problem but it is terrifying when traveling at a higher rate of speed, or any speed really! someone is going to get killed. Fortunately, this has only happened on local city streets ( so far!) but I can't imagine it happening on the highway. This has happened on numerous occasions. In doing research online there are a great number of owners experiencing the same exact problem. How is this not considered a safety issue warranting a massive recall? in reading many forums, gm is clearly aware of the problem but apparently has no definitive way to fix it as many owners have had various parts replaced( mostly related throttle or accelerator pedal) with the problem not being resolved.

I was driving down the interstate and my car started to lose power. The engine reduced power and service stabilitrak messages came up and the check engine light and traction control light came on. I got of the interstate and putted along, barely able to accelerate at stop lights, until I made it to my local chevy dealership. They don't seem to know what is going on and I'll probably end up doing a trial and error with sensors and throttles. A few weeks ago a similar incident happened while I was driving down a residential road (25mph), but everything turned off (dash, a/c, radio, digital speedometer, etc) and my car powered off for a few seconds and then came back on again. This is seriously a scary problem to have.

After starting the vehicle and driving forward the dash screen started to show different "check" warnings. Check stability control, check power steering. The check engine light came on as so did most of the dash indicator lights. The power steering stopped and the engine temporarily quit. The engine responded again and while driving the dash went dark and the car died. I had to turn the ignition off and restart the car. This is the third time this has occurred. The last event was while driving through a parking lot.

Tl- the contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that the check engine warning light illuminated while driving. The vehicle was taken to jack schmitt Chevrolet of wood river dealer, (1870 e edwardsville rd, wood river, IL 62095, (618) 259-4900) and was informed that the catalytic convector failed without a diagnostic testing. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic and was diagnosed that the catalytic converter failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. However the failure recurred. The contact stated that the catalytic converter failed and was replaced twice at an independent mechanic. The contact stated that the failure continued to occurred but was not taken to a dealer for a diagnostic testing and was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 140,000. Aw.

I have taken my car in with the check engine light. They said it was due to a oil cap. I called and they informed me that they could not find anything wrong. Since then the engine light has been on and off and now the traction control light is on and the engine revs very high.

3/22 -- on my way to work (a brief 5-mile drive), the �check engine� light came on and a warning about the stabilitrak system appeared on my dashboard display screen. The engine power was automatically reduced, and my car would not go beyond 25-30 miles per hour. Fortunately, I had exited the highway and had just turned left onto a surface street. At the time, it was raining, but not heavily. This was the first time that I had started my car that day, so the engine was fresh. I was able to make it to work; however, when I left work a couple of hours later, the �check engine� light and stabilitrak warning were still displayed. I drove straight home. 3/23 -- when I started my car, the �check engine� light and stabilitrak warning were still displayed. I ran a couple of errands around town, and nothing changed. I decided to �rest� my car for a day or two while I researched the situation and figured out a plan. 3/25 -- when I started my car, the check engine light was still on, but the stabilitrak warning was gone (I. E. , my dashboard display appeared as it normally would, except for the �check engine� light). After I had driven my car to make a couple of stops around town, the stabilitrak light came back on. 3/26 -- there were no warning lights displayed at all when I started my car; I was able to drive my car around town during the morning with no warning lights coming back on. 3/27 -- when I drove to work, the �check engine� light and stabilitrak warning were not on when I started my car; however, they did came back on just as I arrived at work (about 5 minutes after I had started my car). For safety reasons, regardless of whether the warning lights are displayed or not, I have taken care to drive only when I absolutely need to, only on surface streets, and with my speed at or below 25 mph. This is obviously not sustainable long-term.

Turbo/ super charger for 2014 Cruze lt gasoline engine has caused a check engine light there has been multiple reports for the 2014 Cruze lt that the super charger cracks and leaks exhaust fumes into the turbo charger which restricts the turbine from functioning properly and normal cost just to buy the part is 800 usd to 1200 usd to purchase excluding install cost. The issue is internal which could only be classified as a manufacturer default and should be addressed as such.

Check engine light has been going on & off for years. Dealership has never been able to determine why this happens. Recently I have narrowed it down to the light coming on every time I fill up my car with gas & it is a diesel. On a recent trip to TN my car went into safety mode & I spent 6hrs at a dealership. They eventually found nothing & re-set the computer. When I returned home a recall for the very same problem was in my mailbox. Now I have received another letter from chevy stating there is another problem.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze. While at a stop, the vehicle lost power and the check engine light illuminated. The contact placed the vehicle in park and restarted the engine. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the cam cover was leaking and needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and stated that there was no recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was 128,000.

The car has some kind of electrical problems. The check engine light goes on and I take the car back to the dealer and get problems fixed, and within a month the check engine light comes on again, and there are new problems with the car. When those problems get fixed, the check engine light comes on again within a month. This is a cycle that keeps going. The check engine light comes on at different times, usually while driving. I believe the electrical system is causing cascading failures in different systems.

Check engine light came on with my 2016 chevy Cruze with less than 1300 miles onit. Dealership cant get me in until late next week!!! why is this on already!!.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze. While driving approximately 25 to 35 mph, the check engine light illuminated. While the vehicle was idling at a red light, it shook violently. The dealer diagnosed that the valve cover needed to be replaced. The dealer stated that the vehicle was not included in an unknown recall. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was unknown.

In Dec of 2015 I had to replace the thermostat with only 39000 on it check engine light on fan racing. 6 months later it's happening again check engine light on fan racing now there saying it might be an electrical problem. I have driven chevys for 30 years and never have I had this much trouble this will be my last. From reading the forums it seems like a lot of people have the same problems why isn't there a recall on this car.

2016 ecm reprogramming recall ever since I brought my car in for the recall in 2016 to have the ecm reprogrammed, I have had severe issues with very rough idling, slow acceleration, and inconsistent fuel usage. Check engine light comes on and lists several sensors that need to be replaced. We replaced all of them and the problem still comes back. Now the codes indicate there is a catastrophic issue with the ecm and chevy will not cover it even though this issue started from their own recall.

I purchased a new 2012 Cruze eco new and currently have 48k miles on it. This weekend the Cruze twice had the following problems: 1. Dic error - engine power reduced 2. Dic error - service stabilitrak 3. Check engine light engine power was reduced to peak out at 10 mph. Luckily the power steering was unaffected and I was able to get the Cruze home without accident. Letting the Cruze sit for a few minutes in the off position seemed to clear the issue, but it was still scary to have the engine shut down like it did. Local dealer confirmed that the throttle body was junk and replaced it but not under any warranty. Total cost was $400. Dealer confirmed that similar issue is occurring with sierra pickups and the tb is covered under the powertrain warranty. Very disappointed that the tb was not covered as an engine component. Many Cruze owners are having this problem. . . Look on Cruzetalk. Com. The tb should not be wearing out at 48k. . . Or 100k.

On 12-5-15 I was on my way to CT from mass and was on 91. About 45 minutes into the trip the car began to loose power and the check engine light came on and the service stablitrack light came on. As soon as the light came on the temperature gauge and rpm gauge would fling up and down quickly! I immediately went from 65 mph to 30 mph. ( I was almost rear ended by a car behind me) I coasted my way to the right lane and was able to get off the exit. The car took about 4 hours to go back to normal. ( I returned to mass, I had to take the back way home and avoid the highway as the car still had reduce speed) the car will return to normal and the check engine light will go off. Everyday now the check engine light will come on and it will say service stablitrack. The car immediately looses power and you can hear the engine (sounds like a fan blowing hard) the transmission will not shift. The rpm will jump to 4-5 while only getting to a speed of 35 mph. The dealer has no idea what I am talking about. This car was bought in January of 2015 and has less than 65,000 miles on it. I have read a few complaints about this similar situation happening to the same car I have. This is a safety issue!!! the car has been serviced on time!!! please help me!! I refuse to take the highway as I never know when this is going to happen. . . . .

I was driving home from work on the highway doing about 60-65 miles per hour. The car was driving fine but it suddenly started to loose speed and power. Then the check engine light came on and the car stalled. I was able to make it to the shoulder safely but traffic was flying by me at varying speeds from 50-75 mph. The vehicle stalled within 30 seconds of me noticing the loss of power and the gages did not show any warning lights of heating or empty gas tank. I allowed the car to cool down for about 10 minutes apter popping the hood open and then I attempted to start it. No luck. The starter was cranking but the engine would not turn. The engine tried to turn on as if I kept the key turned in the on position. I allowed the car to cool down for another 40 minutes (with teh hood open) as it was a hot day, 87f, I attempted again and the same starting noise came, but the car never turned back on. I had to call a tow truck and spend $130 to take it home. I'm glad that I was alone and that it was during the day. Imagine if this happened at night in a winter icy road when I have my family with me!!! wow. . . This situation scared me and now I'm not sure if I should use the car for anymore for road trips with the family, its dangerous. The interior also smells like antefreeze fluid when I turn on the heat in winter time. That is another issue!!!. I hope to hear form gm. Thank you.
