2015 Chevrolet Cruze Problems

I have replaced my whole engine and the cars fuel system.. my gas was backing into my oil along with the engine failing .. has happened again. This car has been a nightmare and just keeps failing. Strong gas and oil burning smell then car starts smoking. Had to shut it off in the middle of the road.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle was leaking oil from the top of the engine onto the drive belts. The contact stated that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 12V288000 (ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING). The vehicle was taken to the dealer but was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 90,000.

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while driving approximately 55 MPH, the “Service Stabili-trak” message was displayed. The warning light turned on and off, and the vehicle suddenly stalled. The vehicle failed to restart. The contact stated that the vehicle started jerking and rolling while on the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 113,000.

I understand this vehicle is over 10 years old. I bought this vehicle pre-owned and have only had it for less than 6 months. This vehicle has 71,000 miles on it and isn't very good condition cosmetically besides the gloss paint. As a widow, I needed a dependable vehicle for work purposes. Since I've had this vehicle I've had to replace the thermostat, I've had continued overheating issues, issues with the catalytic converters, the hoses and connectors becoming brittle and needing replacement throughout the engine. Suddenly the traction control light came on the dash after they check engine light. With the code reader showed problems with the mass air flow and the mass air flow electric wiring. Suddenly after a oil change, the vehicle is running terribly and is undrivable. The ECM or computer that powers the entire vehicle has lost all power was no explanation. All the pieces and relays are in good working order. After research on this issue of the ECM I've learned that even replacement of the computer for this vehicle causes the vehicle not even to start. I contacted customer service for GM and Chevrolet and they referred me to you because it is over 10 years old. No one was able to help me. My roommate has the exact same vehicle besides I have a turbo and she does not same year, and she is also having the exact same problems including her ECM is not getting any power. I'm sure of that there's nothing anyone can do financially but Chevrolet and GM really dropped the ball on this vehicle as far as dependability and safety. I counted on this vehicle to be dependable and and live up to the standards of gmn Chevrolet and it has not. Besides this website I don't know who could called Chevrolet and GM accountable for this disaster of a car. I would appreciate any suggestions to try to get this vehicle safe and in working order if it is even possible. I appreciate your time and consideration and I am available if anyone needs to contact me with any questions thank you.

I was driving down the hill and my car came out of gear the road was slick so I couldn't hit my breaks I had to crash into the ditch to keep from going over the mountain. My airbags did not come out my car is not drivable.

The check engine light came up, after having the code read it was discovered that the turbo charger was bad. My vehicle was fixed by the dealer. Prior to being fixed my vehicle was running rougher and accelerating at a slower speed.

I have been up there date for fixing this vehicle for the last 4 years when i bought it with 60k miles , I have replaced multiple parts so far from foil pump , wheel, coolant pipes and the container many times from constant leaking in the fuel pump, I have replaced the alternater twice by 70k miles , ABS system failed many times and no one can fix it , Lastly , my daughter was driving to school and while she was driving on the roundabout in the outer lane . She tried to turn the steering wheel t take the exit and everything got locked on her immediately from steering wheel and the break paddle caused he car shift to the curb and hit the side walk because it went out if control because the tire split out the wheel along with another piece from wheel behind the tire , almost killed my daughter on the seen . I had spent in this At least $10k and now it barely passed &100k Just unbelievable. This car is piece of trash no safety in this car now I parked the car and I’m trying to think what to do with it. I will take it back to the GM and the Chevy dealers and I’m complain because even the dealers for the GM and Chevy are the worst people to deal with and the worst customer service. They’re not helpful at all. I have went to local shops. They do better job but the thing is this car is piece of crap Replacing and go back. I am not spending any more penny on this car now I have to get a brand new car for my daughter to go to college she needs it better or don’t sell more cars. This has to be a trust immediately as my daughter career relying on transportation, And I am not claiming my insurance to fix the damage on my vehicle because my insurance will raise my premiums and there was no other car involved because she was on the roundabout on the side lane and she had to hit the curb because the car kept going and has no control but luckily she wasn’t going on the inside lane on the roundabout otherwise she’ll be hitting another vehicles from losing control

The steering wheel will intermittently "stick" requiring a slight tug to release.

I was driving down the hill and my car came out of gear the road was slick so I couldn't hit my breaks I had to crash into the ditch to keep from going over the mountain. My airbags did not come out my car is not drivable.

In December 2020 my vehicle was involved in an accident where I hit a curb which cracked my rim and deployed airbags. My airbag light is on I'm passenger seat belt is stuck due to airbag.

ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON AFTER BEING PARKED ,NO CODES SHOW UP WHEN DIAGNOSED, HEARD THERE WAS RECALL FOR THAT BUT IT DOESN'T SHOW FOR MY CAR

The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while opening the driver's side front window and the passenger’s side front window, the cable snapped, and the window fell inside the door. The power windows became inoperable. The message to open and close the window was displayed. The vehicle was taken to the local dealer on three occasions, where it was diagnosed that the power window regulator needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was contacted and confirmed there were no recalls on the VIN for the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 42,000.

UNKNOWN- 2015 CHEVY CRUZE - THE REGULATORS IN THE AUTOMATIC WINDOWS KEEP BREAKING- I HAVE REPLACED REGULATORS 3 TIMES- AND THE TWO FRONT WINDOWS WILL NOT GO UP OR DOWN NOW-I JUST FIXED THE PASSENGERS SIDE WINDOW ABOUT A MONTH AGO AND ITS BROKEN AGAIN.- THE CLOCK DOES NOT KEEP TIME CORRECTLY- HAD A COOLANT LEAK TWICE - AND THE TIRES SEEM TO LOSE TREAD PRETTY QUICKLY- REPLACED TIRES A FEW YEARS AGO- DOES NOT HAVE VERY GOOD TRACTION CONTROL- VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WITH GLARES NO MATTER IF ITS FRESHLY CLEANED-NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR- I USUALLY LOVE MY CHEVY'S BUT THIS CAR IS A LEMON- AS SOON AS I PAID IT OFF ALL THIS STARTED HAPPENING- AND I CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER CAR AT THIS POINT.

In December 2020 my vehicle was involved in an accident where I hit a curb which cracked my rim and deployed airbags. My airbag light is on I'm passenger seat belt is stuck due to airbag.

The driver side seat belt did not lock in time like it was supposed to when i got rear ended today, causing my head the hit the steering wheel very very hard. I wouldn't have hit the steering wheel if my seat belt would have locked in place like its supposed to. It has not been confirmed or reproduced by a service center. The car is now being inspected by the police, and the insurance representatives. No warning lamps were on, and there wasn't any kind of messages or any other symptoms prior to the failure.

AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY IN HEAD ON FRONT COLLISION

I WAS DRIVING AND WAS STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN I PROCEEDED TO EXCEL FORWARD. THE CAR WAS ONLY GOING BETWEEN 10-15 MILES PER HOUR WHEN WITHOUT HITTING OR CURBING ANYTHING MY TIRE BLEW. RIGHT AFTER THE TIRE BLEW ALL (6) SIX OF MY AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. WHEN THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED THE CAR QUICKLY FILLED WITH SMOKE LIKE AIR. THE AIRBAGS CAUSED ME TO NOT BE ABLE TO SEE AND I STEERED THE CAR OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AT SUCH TIME, ONSTAR CAME ACROSS THE SPEAKERS AND ASKED IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT AND IF WE NEEDED THE POLICE &/OR AN AMBULANCE. WE YELLED TO THE ONSTAR PERSON THAT WE THOUGHT THE CAR WAS ON FIRE BECAUSE OF THE SMOKE LIKE SUBSTANCE AND THAT WE NEEDED THE POLICE THAT WE WERE ON ONLY VEHICLE THAT HAD BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT. I STILL HAVE NO CLUE WHAT TRANSPIRED IN THE EVENT OF THE TIRE BLOWING ESPECIALLY SINCE I DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING OR CURB ANYTHING. AND I STILL DON'T KNOW WHY THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHEN THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE. I AM EDUCATED ON THE REQUIREMENTS OF DEPLOYED AIRBAGS AND NEVER AT SUCH TIME DID I EVER MEET THESE REQUIREMENTS ESPECIALLY FOR ALL (6) SIX OF THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. I NEVER HIT ANYTHING AT A SPEED OF 14 MPH, NOR WAS I TEE BONED FROM BOTH SIDES, NOR DID OUR CAR ROLE OVER. WHICH IS THE MAIN REASONS FOR ALL (6) SIX OF THE AIRBAGS TO DEPLOY. ON ANOTHER NOTE THE AIRBAGS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE, MY SIDE, DEPLOYED WITH SUCH FORCE THAT THE AIRBAGS BROKE MY GLASSES, MY CELL PHONE SCREEN, AND BROKE THE IGNITION KEY OFF IN THE IGNITION. THE AIRBAG THAT PROTECTS THE DRIVERS KNEES LEFT A BRUISE THE SIZE OF A GRAPEFRUIT ON MY LEG. I NEVER SEEMED MEDICAL ATTENTION. AS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS, THEY DIDN'T HAVE ANY FORCE BEHIND THEM. THE AIRBAGS NEVER EVEN TOUCHED MY WIFE AT ALL AND SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY INJURIES AT ALL. THE TIRE IN WHICH WE ARE DISCUSSING IS THE FRONT PASSENGER TIRE.

I WAS EXPERIENCING TROUBLE WITH ACCELERATING AND I PULLED OVER AND THE ENGINE BURST INTO FLAME AND TOTALED MY CAR. CALLED 911 AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT PUT INT OUT.

MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS BEGIN FLASHING, THE RADIO TURNS OFF, THE BLINKER SOUND STOPS WORKING, THE ANTILOCK BRAKE SYSTEM, SERVICE TRACTION SYSTEM, SERVICE STABILITRAC AND STEERING VEHICLE MESSAGES FLASH ON THE DASHBOARD. I SAW THIS ISSUE REPORTED IN A GM BULLETIN HTTPS://STATIC.NHTSA.GOV/ODI/TSBS/2015/SB-10057574-8899.PDF BUT MY DEALERSHIP SAID MY CAR ISN'T AFFECTED EVEN THOUGH IT IS THAT YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL AND THE SAME EXACT THINGS ARE HAPPENING. IT HAPPENS WHEN I AM DRIVING, IT STARTED OFF ONCE OR TWICE A TRIP, NOW IT IS CONSTANTLY HAPPENING SO MUCH SO I CANNOT EVEN LISTEN TO MUSIC. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE OFTEN WHEN I AM IN STOP/GO TRAFFIC.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2015 CHEVROLET CRUZE LT THE RADIO SHUT OFF, LIGHTS FLICKERED, SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND OTHER WARNING LIGHTS TEMPORARILY FLICKERED ON AND OFF FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE RETURNING BACK TO NORMAL. THIS HAPPENS MULTIPLE TIMES DAILY OFTEN INVOLVING THE POWER STEERING. WHILE TURNING THE VEHICLE, THE RADIO WILL SHUT OFF, LIGHTS WILL FLICKER, AND POWER STEERING WILL COMPLETELY SHUT OFF CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO JERK WHILE IN THE TURNING PROCESSES. THE CAR HAS TROUBLE STARTING OFTEN AND SOMETIMES WILL NOT START. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN TESTED AND IS FINE AS WELL AS THE ALTERNATOR. SOMETIMES THE RADIO WILL SHUT OFF AND NOT COME BACK ON UNTIL THE NEXT DAY EVEN AFTER RESTARTING THE VEHICLE. THE LARGEST AND MOST DANGEROUS ISSUE I HAVE HAD WITH MY VEHICLE IS THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKING UP WHILE TURNING. THE VEHICLE WOULDN'T START ON ONE OCCASION OR EVEN ATTEMPT TO START AND THE KEY WAS LOCKED IN THE IGNITION FOR ABOUT 30 MINUTES BEFORE FINALLY THE LIGHTS ALL CAME BACK ON IN THE CAR AND IT STARTED BACK.

CAR OVERHEAT, THE ELECTRIC FAN ASSEMBLY WIRES MELTED AND WAS BURNING, THE FAN CEASED TO WORK, NO WARNING WAS GIVEN. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON CITY/TOWNSHIP STREETS. THE HEATER CORE IS LEAKING, SO AFTER REPLACING ALL OTHER COMPONENTS AND A PRESSURIZED TEST, THAT IS THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE IS STATIONARY FOR LEAK TO BE SEEN.
