2014 Chevrolet Cruze

I HAPPEN TO CHECK UNDER MY HOOD TO SEE WHY I WASN'T GETTING ANY HEAT IN MY CAR. I THEN CAME TO REALIZE THAT THERE WASN'T ANY COOLANT, WHEN I WAS THERE ONE 10 DAYS PRIOR AT THE DEALERSHIP TO GET MY OIL CHANGED AND THE PAPER STATED THAT ALL FLUIDS WERE CHECKED. I THEN NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP, AND PUT SOME COOLANT IN MY CAR SO I WOULDN'T CAUSE ANY DAMAGE TO THE MOTOR. THEY CHECK IT, CLAIMED THERE WASN'T ANYTHING GOING ON WITH IT. AND SENT ME HOME. I THEN HAD A COWORKER TELL ME THAT WHAT I WAS DESCRIBING WAS MY WATER PUMP. I THEN NOTIFIED THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN THAT I WAS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES, AND THAT I AM NOW SMELLING COOLANT IN THE CAR AND MY CAR ACT LIKE ITS READY TO STALL.. THEY GOT ME BACK IN AND CHECKED WHAT I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT. THEY FOUND OUT I WAS RIGHT IT WAS THE WATER PUMP.. I HAD FOUND A RECALL ABOUT THIS WHOLE THING AND SHOWED THEM, AND BECAUSE THEY CHECKED BY VIN NUMBER MY CAR DIDN'T HAVE THIS RECALL BUT MY CAR SHOULD HAVE. IT WAS FOR THE 1.4 ENGINE, NOT MY 1.8. I HAD MY WATER PUMP REPLACED, MY THERMOSTAT AND I AM STILL HAVING ISSUES. THIS CAR IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD AND SHOULDN'T HAVE THESE PROBLEMS SO EARLY. GM NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING FOR ALL CRUZE OWNERS CAUSE I AM TIRED OF SPENDING OVER 600 DOLLARS AND STILL HAVING ISSUES.

A WARNING TO CHEVY CRUZE OWNER'S MYSELF OWNING ONE, I NOTICED THE CAR LOSING ACCELERATION AND AT CERTAIN TIMES, MISFIRING FROM A CYLINDER, TO SUM IT UP, I RAN THE OBD CODE AND GOT CODE # P0304 WHICH IS ENGINE MISFIRING. I ENDED UP WAITING UNTIL THE CAR WAS COLD AND REMOVED THE T30 SCREWS TO ACCESS THE SPARK PLUGS, THE COIL PACK'S RUBBER BOOTS WERE MELTED ONTO MY SPARK PLUGS, I HAVE TAKE SUPER CARE OF THE CAR AND I NEVER WOULD OF THOUGHT OF THE COIL PACK HAVING A SERIOUS ISSUE, THIS IS DEFINITELY SOMETHING OWNER'S SHOULD BE AWARE OF. I HOPE THIS CAN GET LOOKED INTO AND A RECALL WOULD BE A HELPFUL OPTION, THOSE COIL PACKS SHOULD BE MADE DIFFERENTLY OR MAKE SOMETHING MORE DURABLE THAN PLASTIC BOOTS. THIS PROBLEM STARTED A FEW WEEKS BACK, IT WOULD RUN FINE FOR ALMOST A HALF HOUR AND THEN IT STARTED CHUGGING AND AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, IT HAD NO POWER TO MOVE, PROCESS OF ELIMINATION WAS A CODE FOR THE BAROMETRIC PRESSURE SENSOR, SO I STARTED THERE FIRST ONLY BECAUSE IT WAS CHEAPER, ONCE I GOT A CONFIRMED CODE OF CYLINDER'S MISFIRING THAT'S WHEN WE TOOK AN IN DEPTH LOOK AT THE SPARK PLUGS, I HAD TO REPLACE THE COIL PACK AND I DID 4 NEW SPARK PLUGS.

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN APRIL 2016 WITH APPROX 22,000. ON THE SECOND DAY THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE HOOD WHICH IT SOUNDED VERY CLOSE TOWARDS THE ENGINE, EXHAUST PART OF THE CAR. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DIDN'T STATE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS THEY JUST TOLD ME THEY HAD FIXED IT. THE NOISE WENT AWAY. 3 MONTHS LATER I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKING. I WAS AT A BIG INTERSECTION WHEN I WAS TURNING LEFT MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED ON ME AND MY ENTIRE LIGHTS INCLUDING THE DASHBOARD WENT OUT. I COULDN'T MOVE MY CAR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION AND LUCKILY THERE WASN'T CARS COMING TOWARDS ME. IT TOOK ABOUT 10-20 SECONDS TO COME BACK ON. WHEN IT DID COME BACK ON THERE WAS A LOT OF LIGHTS POPPING UP AND THEN THERE WAS A "STABILI TRAK" LIGHT ON. I PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE BECAUSE I KNEW I COULDN'T DRIVE IT ANYMORE. I CALLED MY DEALERSHIP AND I TOOK IT IN THAT SAME DAY. THEY TOLD ME IT WAS A WIRE THAT WAS LOOSE AND THEY HAD FIXED IT. WELL THEY DID NOT, 3 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WAS GOING ON THEN. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS AND NOW I AM BACK TO THE SAME THING EXCEPT SOMETHING NEW. NOT ONLY DOES MY LIGHT COME UP AND MY STEERING WHEEL STILL LOCKS ON ME BUT MY CAR BEGAN SHAKING LAST NIGHT AND WHEN I WOULD DRIVE IT IT WOULD MAKE THE SAME LOUD NOISE FROM THE BEGINNING TOWARDS THE FRONT OF THE CAR TOWARDS THE ENGINE, AND IT WOULD HESITATE ON GOING WHEN I WOULD MAKE A STOP. LIKE IF IT WAS ABOUT TO FULLY TURN OFF SO MY CAR GOT TOWED TO A DEALERSHIP LAST NIGHT. THE ISSUES WERE NOT FIXED AND THEY ARE ONLY GETTING WORSE.THESE ISSUES SHOULD'VE BEEN TAKEN CARE THE FIRST TIME I HAD GONE TO THE DEALERSHIP. NOW IT'S THE 4TH TIME I HAVE GONE TO A DEALERSHIP AND NOTHING IS BEING RESOLVED AND I PRETTY SURE NOW THERE IS A BIG ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE WITH SO LITTLE MILES!

I HAVE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED IN JULY OF 2015 FROM THE CHEVROLET SCHUMACHER DEALERSHIP LOCATED IN NORTH PALM BEACH, FLORIDA I CURRENTLY HAVE 61,939MI. MY LAST OIL CHANGE WAS IN 12/2016 AND IS DUE AT 64,000MI. TO DATE I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE FROM INSTALLING NEW SPARK PLUGS, BRAKES THAT SOUND LIKE AN AMTRAK TRAIN, AND NOW MY ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND MY BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY IS ALREADY EXPIRED AT LIKE 33,000MI. SO NOW I FALL UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WHICH COVERS YOUR ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. HOWEVER I AM NOT SURE WHAT IS CAUSING MY ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON, I REALLY DON'T WANT TO PAY $160.00 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND THEN HAVE TO PAY ON TOP OF THAT $800 FOR AN ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE. I SHOULDN'T BE HAVING THESE PROBLEMS ESPECIALLY SINCE IT WILL MARK MY 2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY HAVING THIS VEHICLE IN JULY 2017.I AM VERY DISPLEASED RIGHT NOW AND WOULD LIKE THIS ISSUE TO BE INVESTIGATED AND THAT SOMEONE FROM THIS GOVERNMENT AGENCY CONTACT THE DEALER LOCATED IN NORTH PALM BEACH SO THEY CAN FIND OUT WHAT EXACTLY IS WRONG WITH MY CAR. SOMETHING LIKE THIS SHOULD HAPPEN TO CARS THAT ARE 5 YEARS OLD NOT 1 1/2 YEARS OLD. *TR
