Failure Date: 11/22/2020

My cars cam shaft was replaced six months ago, and it was still under warranty. Now I'm having a bunch of other issues some of the problems are because the chevy dealership, that replaced it my cam shaft wheel they had to to take parts off and back on to fix it now those parts they took off and now bad plus other bottoms up. It won't keep coolant. And keeps over heating, and the dealership, is trying to over price me on parts that I can get, for a fraction of the price there charging me, and now I'm with out a vehicle un less I come up with over $1400, I feel like they purposely didn't put everything back together right, cuz they new they could get and make more money out of it because some of the parts are still under warranty. Pluse when they fixed it the first time. They charge for a new belt on the car and I already hade one which wasn't mine to start with, it belong to a friend of mine, and the stole it and put it on my car then charge me for it. Be cause it was in the back seat, my vehicle is sitting at the shop now. It's at leach-wilson Chevrolet-Buick in shelbyville illinois, there going to start working on it on January 11th, that's what they said anyways and I don't feel safe with them doing that but I have no other option right now. And I'm being forced to pay over $1400. Plus they stole parts out of my car I was holding for a friend and I had in the car and they use them and charged the warranty for those parts and it wasn't theirs to sell like that.

I purchased this vehicle almost one month ago and only been able to drive for a week total because of this oil issue. I am paying money to fix and they still can't tell me what's wrong so I looked it up for recalls and saw this had and recall just like I explained but not associated with my VIN. Please help.

8 Engine Belts And Pulleys problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze

Failure Date: 10/10/2016

I was driving to work on oct 10, 2016, a bit before 3:30 pm on the belt parkway in brooklyn NY. I was going slowly as there was heavy traffic. I had been driving for 90 minutes when I turned on the ac and immediately noticed a strong burning smell, so I turned the ac off. A few moments later I noticed wisps of white smoke coming from under the hood of the car. By the time I was able to pull over (less than 2 minutes) heavier white then gray smoke began pouring out and various warning lights came on in the dashboard. I got out, grabbed my belongings and called 911 within 3 minutes of pulling over. An off duty fireman attempted to assist with a fire extinguisher but in minutes the front of the car was ablaze. Firefighters responded quickly but the front of the car was engulfed in flames and it is a total loss at 67,000 miles. In 4 years of owning this car I had 3 recalls (one for engine fire) and multiple letters from chevy of other issues that might arise (the last was for the accelerator pedal possibly coming off). I've never had a car with this many issues.
