3 Radiator Hose problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze

Failure Date: 08/24/2015

My husband noticed the coolant level was low while changing my oil. He filled up the coolant compartment. A week later, my battery died, so when my husband when to jump my car, he noticed the coolant level was once again low and that there was coolant present on the engine hoses. He filled up the coolant again and it is steadily leaking coolant when the car is running. I received a letter in the mail from gm in 2014 about possible coolant leak. The letter told me to take my vehicle in for service if there were any issues with the engine cooling system. I was not having issues with engine cooling at the time, and I put the letter to the side. Two months ago, my ac broke due to a rock hitting it. When I took my vehicle to the chevy dealership for the ac, they noticed the open recall for the cooling system and recommended I have it looked at while I was there. They proceeded to inspect the engine cooling system, at which time it passed their inspection. Now two month later, the problem is present and the chevy dealership claims that it will not be covered since that recall is no longer "open" on my vehicle. That is not fair in my opinion.

4 Radiator Hose problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze

Failure Date: 02/28/2015

Takata recall problem is unknown: 1. My vehicle continues to have problems with heating/cooling system. The vehicle looses antifreeze, the casing gets hot and acts as tho its overheating triggering the fan to come on and stay on. There are no noticeable leaks; it has been at he chevy dealer and several other mechanics who can find no radiator leaks. The engine coil, hoses, and heating coil have been changed and it continues to get hot. The vehicle is running when these issues occur. 2. The tracking system lights stays on constantly. No record of a problem by Chevrolet service center or any other service center who has used diagnostics to determine why the light stays on. 3. Service engine light stays on constantly. The engine coil has been replaced; no other engine problems are identified with diagnostics.

5 Radiator Hose problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze

Failure Date: 06/13/2012

My wife notice the coolant reservoir level had falling well below the full mark. She notified me that she needed coolant added. So we both inspected the car and could not find any leaks so elected to fill the reservoir and notified the dealer. The dealer found that the water pump seal was bad and that the coolant would drip onto the underlying pan and evaporate not leaving a trace of a leak. This was part of a recall so the repair was made. April 2014, mileage 88000. Another coolant leak, outlet manifold and hose failure. Not covered under warranties due to it being a hose. So I was charged $243. 80 for what turned out to be a outlet manifold, attached to the engine (failure). Because a hose was attached to it they claimed it was not covered! my invoice reads $180. 00 labor, 20. 60 coolant, outlet 30. 08 and hose 13. 12. 11/18/2014, another coolant leak. I have an appointment on 11/20/2014 with the dealer and I'm going to ask for a refund due to in my opinion excessive coolant problems. I believe this could effect the engine cooling performance and damage the engine if not already. I have paid for the full warranty package when the car was purchased plus extended warranty package. The dealer is the only service dept. To ever touch this car.
