NOTORIOUS GM ISSUE - TRANSMISSION COOLING LINES. THIRD TIME MINE HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND ARE NOW LEAKING AGAIN - SUSPECT IN COLDER CLIMATES THE PART IS NOT HOLDING UP AND ESPECIALLY SUSCEPTIBLE TO DEFECTS. FLUID LEAKS OUT AND CAUSES BUILD UP ON THE LINE, WHICH COULD POTENTIALLY BE A FIRE HAZARD. I HAVE DONE RESEARCH AND DISCOVERED THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL CRUZE. THE DEALER IS ASKING $400+ TO REPAIR WHAT I VIEW IS A DEFECTIVE PART AND DESIGN. I HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND THIS IS ANOTHER PROBLEM I AM FACED TO COVER THE REPAIR BILL FOR A FAULTY DESIGN/PRODUCT. GM SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT WITH A SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.

STEERING
OVER MY ENTIRE DRIVE HOME TONIGHT, I HAD MY STEERING WHEEL "STICK" WHILE DRIVING ON STRAIGHT AREAS OF ROADWAY. THE VEHICLE DID THIS MORE THAN A DOZEN TIMES AND IN ORDER TO GET FEEDBACK FROM THE VEHICLE IN TERMS OF STEERING, I HAD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL (LESS THAN 1/10TH OF TURN) TO THE RIGHT IN ORDER TO FEEL THE VEHICLE HAD CONTROL. WHEN TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL SLIGHTLY, THE CAR WOULD JERK AS IT REGAINED CONTROL. HAD I BEEN DRIVING ON ICY ROADS, THIS COULD HAVE BEEN MUCH MORE SEVERE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR AS IT IS RIGHT NOW. I HAVE HEARD AND READ MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS ISSUE. IT'S INTERMITTENT, SO IT IS HARD TO DIAGNOSE, BUT WHEN IT HAPPENS TO YOU, YOU DON'T FEEL LIKE YOU'RE DRIVING THE CAR, IT FEELS LIKE IT'S DRIVING YOU!

POWER TRAIN
ENGINE OIL COOLER FAILURE. HOUSING IS LEAKING ON OUTSIDE OF THE ENGINE BLOCK THAT PART IS BOLTED TO. NOT SURE WHEN LEAK STARTED AND IF THE VEHICLE WAS MOVING OR STATIONARY. THIS PART WAS COVERED ON 2011 AND 2012 MODEL BUT WRITTEN OUT OF WARRANTY FOR 2013 AND LATER MODELS. DEALERSHIP KEEP INVENTORY ON THIS PART DUE TO FREQUENT REPLACEMENT NEEDS. CHEVROLET KNEW THE PART HAS PROBLEMS INSTEAD OF REPAIRING THE ISSUE WITH THE PART THEY HAVE REMOVED IT FROM POWERTRAIN WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH IT IS PART OF THE POWERTRAIN. THIS REPAIR COST OVER ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS ON VEHICLES THAT ARE STILL UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. THE WATER PUMP HAS SPECIAL COVERAGE ADJUSTMENT ( HTTPS://WWW-ODI.NHTSA.DOT.GOV/ACMS/CS/JAXRS/DOWNLOAD/DOC/UCM507379/SB-10057265-3557.PDF). I BELIEVE THE ISSUE WITH THE OIL COOLER IS VERY SIMILAR TO THE WATER PUMP ISSUE. GOING THROUGH CHEVROLET CRUZE TALK FORUM AND READING ISSUE AFTER ISSUE ONLINE FURTHER SHOWS MINE IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
JULY 2017 I HAD A GM (VOLUNTARY) MANUFACTURE RECALL COMPLETED ON MY CAR FOR THE NOX SENSOR POSITION 1 (DEF SENSOR). ON JANUARY 16, 2018 THE NOX SENSOR 2 NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, COST $700. I WAS VERY FAR FROM A DEALERSHIP, AND WHEN I FINALLY GOT TO A DEALERSHIP I WAS AT 16 MILES BEFORE THE CAR SPEED WOULD GO TO THE 4MPH SPEED REDUCTION. I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND THE WEATHER HAS BEEN VERY COLD. I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A JAM IF I HADN'T MADE IT TO A DEALERSHIP SOON, BECAUSE THE CAR WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO OVER 4MPH. THE NOX POSITION 2 SENSOR SHOULD HAVE BE PART OF THE RECALL WHEN THE POSITION 1 SENSOR WAS REPLACED.

VISIBILITY/WIPER
WIPER ON PASSENGER SIDE JUST STOPPED. TOOK TO THE SHOP AND THEY SAID WIPER TRANSMISSION HOWEVER THE PROBLEM IS SO WIDESPREAD THAT EVERYONE INCLUDING GM ARE OUT OF THE PART. A 'SPAT' REQUEST WOULD BE SENT TO TRY TO OBTAIN THE PART NATIONWIDE. NO REASON WHY THIS SHOULD HAPPEN ON A NEWER VEHICLE. LUCKILY IT WAS THE PASSENGER SIDE.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
THE CAR HAS STARTED STARTING AND SHUTTING OFF ON ITS OWN. IT'S VERY DANGEROUS SINCE IT STATED DOING THIS IN MY ATTACHED GARAGE WHILE I SLEPT. MY WIFE IS SCARED OF CARBON MONOXIDE POISONING. I ALSO FEAR PUMPING GAS COULD BE DANGEROUS IF IT STARTED WHILE DOING SO. I'VE READ ONLINE IT'S VERY COMMON ON THE CRUZE. I CONTACT GM AND THEY AREN'T COVERING IT WITHOUT A RECALL.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE HAVE TO HAVE A PCV VALUE COVER/INTAKE MANIFOLD REPLACED IN MY CAR 3 TIMES. MY CAR IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT THAT WARRANTY WILL EXPIRE. I WILL HAVE TO HAVE IS REPLACED AGAIN AT SOME AND IT SEEMS THAT NO ONE IS ASKING WHY THIS PART HAS TO BE REPLACED SO FREQUENTLY IN A CAR THAT IS LESS THAN 5 YEAR OLD. THERE IS A CODE THAT APPEARS BUT IT IS MONTHS AFTER THE CAR STARTS TO SURGE WHEN YOU TURN IT ON AND FEEL LIKE IT IS GOING TO CUT OUT WHEN IDLING. I LIVE IN THE CITY AND CANNOT HESITATE TO DRIVE WHEN THE LIGHT TURNS AS IT MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.
