The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that at start up, the check engine warning light illuminated. A message displayed which stated that the air condition was off due to high temperature. While driving at 15 mph, the check engine warning light illuminated and the vehicle failed to accelerate. The vehicle went into limp mode. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was then taken to klik lewis located at (720 E main St, palmyra, pa 17078, 717-838-1353) to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the fuel tank was defective. The contact was also informed that the fuel tank started to melt which caused the hoses to be fused to the tank and caused the sensor to fail. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not aware of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 83,557.
My heat stopped working when it was 8degrees out, by the time I got to work my car signaled on screen it was over heating and to idle engine. I pulled into gas station bought some coolant, let engine cool down drove the rest of the way to work and then back home. When I got home engine fan began coming (usually never hear it) called mechanic he knew exactly what it was over phone bc he sees the problem all of the time. Water pump leaking and a melted valve from over heating engine. Got both parts fixed $900 later.
I was driving down a 45mph road and the vehicle felt like it was hesitating to accelerate. The RPM's went up to 6000 and the service stabiltrak mesage came up. The engine felt shaky and I didn't have any heat. I took the car immediately to my mechanic and they said the coil pack and plugs were bad and repaired them.
Ever since owning the Cruze, we've had nothing but engine issues. First the turbo went out a month after purchasing the car. Two thermostats and a complete oil flush. The engine blew at 104,023 miles. The car was flashing engine light and stabiltract light. The car since owning has made a very loud ticking noise. The car also had a hard time maintaining speed. Acceleration and deceleration. This happened any time the vehicle speed was over 30mph.
When driving the car flickers the radio in and out and then the radio gos completely out and service stability tracker and service service traction control pops up or the steering wheel locks and service power steering pops up and the car shut off right then and there.

Driving down the highway diesel Cruze threw a code stating 'diesel exhaust fluid quality poor see owners manual 99 miles till 65mph' we took it straight away to the dealership spent two hours there for them to say everything was fine this was the end of November. Used our other vehicle to go on vacation for half of December back and driving the Cruze again it's now throwing the same exact code.. maybe 200 miles on it since the last time in the shop... will be taking it back in the morning (the guy stated last time he didn't know much about it) have no other choice because I can't make it to any other dealership before it shuts me down to 4mph.
There's a coolant pump made of plastic that has cause serval leaks after getting this leaked fix 2X it continued to leak and caused a failed head gasket and cracked head
While driving at freeway speeds(70 mph) the car suddenly downshifted and revved the engine very high(6,000 RPM). The car lost speed and would not downshift. Punched the gas and engine returned to normal. Check engine light came on shortly thereafter. Took to dealer and they state turbocharger is bad. The car only has 62,000 miles on it.
No warning turbo failure that cases vehicle to lose power suddenly I was on freeway when engine light came on and a engine power reduced warning came on went to auto zone and they said it was a P0299 have seen a lot of info on the internet net saying that the turbo has gone out this is bad when your at freeway speeds
I had my stabilitrak and traction control lights and my check engine light come on my vehicle while driving down a normal city road in sunlight on a clear warm day and my vehicle started idling very roughly while driving and I was right by autozone so they ran codes and found out it said knock sensor and misfire. Well I drove it home 5 mins down the street and park it. Well I take it to my mechanic the following morning and he does a diagnostic and piston check and turns out my spark plug burned so bad it was burned away where the L hook is. And found out that it broke in my combustion chamber somewhere. Now I have to get this all fixed and its costing a few thousand dollars.
For about one to two months now, my car has been having trouble when I'm going at highway speeds. When I accelerate, with it sometimes not having me to accelerate, my car feels as if it "can't keep up". this is more noticeable when I'm going up a hill or any elevation. One second I'll be going 70 mph and the next the tachometer shoots up to past 4 and 5. I'm scared that it will badly effect my engine going that fast since this has not happened beforr so I have to take my foot off the gas for it to slow done and 'catch up' before I can accelerate again. I have been informed by a Chevrolet dealership this is due to the turbo.
The turbo charger is known for going out. This can cause loss of power- even on highways. My turbo lost power on the highway, causing my speed to drop down to 50 mph. I am in a lot of Chevy Cruze forums and this is the main complaint. Your speed can be normal and then all of a sudden just drop down to barely anything. This could cause someone to rear-end you.
The page previous to this one would not let my check every box (3 max), the other things I would have checked that were affected are -lighting -speed control -steering -wiper -traction pictures show these two signals that pop up "service stabilitrak" and "service traction control". whilst im driving some come things start to happen; the radio/ dash stereo will flicker on and off- all noise stops (any music or blinkers), the heater/ ac wil stop blowing if it is on. Sometimes when this happens my power steering will also go out, jerking the steering wheel while im driving, and happens alot when im turning (very scary). The dash will also flicker with ABS, brake, traction, lights. Some days it will happen very frequently, other days it will only happen a couple times. I am uncertain what I am doing that is making it act this way. When I am at a stoplight, or drive thru and the same thing as above happens my engine will suddenly shut off while my windshield wipers activate out of no where- very startling (this has happened while my gear shift was in park and while im holding the brake in drive). This has happened multiple times and while in different situations, stationary, in motion, city street, highway, turning, going straight, braking, none of this has happened until a few months ago. Sometimes when I start my car in the morning to warm I come back outside and then engine had shut itself off. The traction does not seem like it is gripping to the road very well, winter has just started, and I am scared to drive it. I am going to get it checked out at a Chevy dealership as soon as I get the money. I have just now had the car for a year, myself. Thank you.
The 2014 Cruze will just turn off, or rough idle and then stop, when slowing down to a red light, or trying to slowly drive though a line for a pick up window to order food or the like. The car has a rough idle ( feels like car is jumping forward chugging in a rough idle ) and then shuts down. It always happens when car is slowly moving. Its very dangerous and when cars are behind you at a light its very scary. It is happening more and more. The car only does this when its slowing down to stop at a light, or trying to move though a slow line though a pick up window but there are always cars behind you that don't understand what is going on and it is scary.
