The traction control light as well as check engine light came on. With no prior issues, just out of the blue. The car shakes when driving. It happened 6pm last night, no issues beforehand. Its parked out front on the street where I live.
The valve cover keeps blowing. Then it starts leaking oil. When it blows you can not use the air because it will decrease the power in the car. There is no acceleration when this happens also. I have had this replaced 3 times already and it just blew again. This issue should be addressed and fixed. I have had my car for 3 years and this is the 4th time with the same issue. This costs anywhere from $450 and up depending on where it is fixed. Unacceptable. The valve cover gasket blows while driving. You notice a change in car power and lack of acceleration. The engine light comes on as well.
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle failed to properly accelerate while depressing the accelerator pedal. On another occasion, the vehicle failed to start-up. The vehicle was towed to hurd auto mall - Chevrolet located at 1705 hartford ave, johnston, ri 02919, where the technician reprogrammed the engine control module and serviced the wiring harness. The contact indicated that recently the failure recurred and the vehicle would not start. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 21,000. The VIN was not available.
The airbag sensor light will come on and turn back off and flash 'service airbag' multiple times. I have also replaced the thermostat in my car twice in the past year and I have to replace it again.
Common issue where an underboost even happens due to crack in turbo or failed wastegate, when on highway can cause an accident when suddenly unable to maintain highway speeds, also negatibe battery cable has common issue which reduces voltage pass through causing traction control and stabil-track issues which can cause loss of control of vehicle in hazardous conditions.

I have a water pump leak I have to constantly keep adding water so my vehicle won't run hot and my oxygen sensors are bad it doesn't in motion and stationary
This car has many problems. I am surprised it has no recalls. The problems start two years ago. The valve cover started leaking. Oil was everywhere. Got that replaced but it happened again, and then it happened again. Apparently the PCV valve is built into the valve cover. We are about to be on our 4th valve cover. It's currently inoperable. The water pump had to be replaced, the whole engine had to be replaced. This car is a money pit, and anyone who has ever bought it should be refunded for real. It's a piece of crap and has had nothing but problems, and causes nothing but stress. I will never buy another Chevy ever again.
The engine was acting up. It felt like it wasn't getting the gas to shift gears. It felt like it was going to stall out. Took it to the shop and they replaced the knock sensor and did a tune up. The issue continued so we had to take it back again. We was told the piston melted and put a hole in the block. We bought it brand new, have taken it for all repairs and oil changes, the car has less than 90,000 miles. We are being told these cars have these issues and to join in a lawsuit because the motor needs replaced.
Had to change def reservoir and engine oil psi solenoid valve and my side serivce alert in broken too and at 26000 miles I ask for new car because I had 7 replacement part put on car I was deined new car
Faulty parts have caused issues with the engine, such as constant engine ticking, and squeaking when slowing down and below 1300rpm. Both of these problems I believe are causing the engine to have power loss and ultimately make this vehicle less powerful and become undependable. Beyond those problems I consistently get warnings about the traction control and stabilitrak. I am doing what I can to fix this thing but believe it should not have left the factory.
Message "A/C off, engine too hot" and fan running like crazy. Quick google search tells me this is a popular problem with this vehicle. Most suggestions said it would be a sensor. Changing the sensor worked for 3 days before problem came back. Just 6 months ago I had to replace the water pump and thermostat housing for an overheating issue as well.
Not sure what's wrong. I've fixed things already like mass flow sensor, air filter, motor mounts a valve leak. Cars been in and out of the mechanics for months. Cars engine shut off 2-3 times while driving with my daughter in the car!!!!!. another time it turned off right after I started it up. The car is unsafe!!!!!! I've had it had 2-3 different mechanics. And the Chevy dealership. The car never turns off for anyone but me. This past weekend I was attempting to pick up my car from one shop to take to another and it wouldn't start. This shop had the car for a week and a half and it never turned off until I went to pick it up. Now they still can't find what's causing the problem. I've spent 2 grand in labor and tows in just the last 3-4 months. I can't keep doing this!!!!!! someone please help me figure this out!!!!!!
Intake manifold cover and gasket has had to be replaced twice already once at 30000 and once at 65000 miles. Part failure produces a loud screaming noise and restricts air intake into the engine causing very rough idling and loss of engine power. A recall for this part was issued on similar models, but not for the Cruze eco. The recall needs to be expanded to include the eco models.
Warning light comes on say steering and traction light and said service steering and my engine come on code was O2 and 01 I had alot problems with sensor the car was in repair shop 11 time the first 3 year I make complaints try to get new car from GM they said
The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked in the driveway, the contact became aware of anti freeze on the ground. An independent mechanic determined that the water pump failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed. A dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 50,000.
Car will randomly turn off while driving. Sometimes it S full engine and power failure and sometimes it is just engine failure and accessories still stay on. This has happened since the car was new and has been looked into by several Chevy dealers in my area. Autonation told me he had several other Chevy that did the same thing.
