1 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2018 Chevrolet Cruze

Failure Date: 01/24/2020

I backed out of my icy driveway and onto the clear, dry road. Set my cruise control to 48mph and after about 30 seconds, my traction control and service engine lights came on with an error message that said "service stabilitrak" and my cruise control turned off. I closed the stabilitrak message, the traction control light turned off after about 30 seconds, and the service engine light turned off shortly after. But my cruise control still wont engage. I've turned the vehicle off and on and it still isnt working. It seems that a lot of different gm vehicles have experienced this problem, and the dealership has fixed it in several different ways. I read on a forum that someone had the issue and the gm dealership said there was an issue with the amount of ethanol in the gasoline. I happened to have filled up my tank the night before with regular unleaded from my local speedway. Not sure of that could have been connected.

5 Service Engine Light On problem of the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze

Failure Date: 09/18/2014

Service engine light came on at about 29,000 miles, so I took it to the dealership. After diagnostic it was determined that the thermostat had gone bad, so they replaced the thermostat and the holding mount. Then Saturday on the way to work the service engine light came back on. I stopped for gas then the car would not restart. I had to have the car towed back to the dealership. It was determined that the cam shaft sensor also went bad. The car also hesitates when shifting gears in low speeds.
