  POWER ASSIST FAILED, MAKING STEERING DIFFICULT, HAPPENED DURING LANE CHANGE ON FREEWAY AT 70 MPH, THIS HAPPENED IN CONJUNCTION WITH RANDOM SCREEN LOSS ON INFOTAINMENT SCREEN. ALSO RANDOM ERROR MESSAGES. UPON TAKING CAR TO DEALER, THEY AGREED IT WAS PROBABLY AN ISSUE ADDRESSED UNDER SPECIAL COVERAGE 14311, BUT IT TURNED OUT THAT IT WAS NOT.

  The turbo on the vehicle develops a crack in the exhaust side by the wastegate over time. This is a common problem as reported by forums, that seems to be a near 100% failure rate. The crack causes lost of intake boost pressure that throws a low boost code and reduces engine power significantly.

THERE IS NO HEAT OR AIR ON BUT HOT AIR IS COMING INTO THE CAB.THERE IS A REALLY BAD SMELL IN THE CAB AFTER A DEALERSHIP ALREADY REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS AGO.

  TAKATA RECALL. THE PROBLEM IS OUR WATER PUMP. THE CAR ONLY HAS 63,000 MILES ON IT. WE HAD IT FIXED BY A MECHANIC BUT CAN STILL SMELL ANTIFREEZE THE SAME SMELL WHEN THE WATER PUMP WENT OUT AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON. HOPEFULLY YOU PEOPLE CAN FIGURE THIS OUT OR IF THERE ARE MORE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE IT COST US A LOT OF MONEY AND HAD TO CANCEL APPOINTMENTS BECAUSE OF IT. THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN BY MY WIFE ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN SHE NOTICED SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY HEAT PULLED INTO A DRIVEWAY AND SAW LOTS OF FLUID AROUND THE ENGINE WITH A STRONG SMELL OF ANTIFREEZE.

  PURGE VALVE ON A 2015 CHEVY CRUZE 1.4 ECOTEC TURBO WITH 65,000 MILES. STARTED AS A SMALL LITTLE TICKING NOISE THEN ITS BEEN GETTING LOUDER. AT THE TIME I DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS WRONG WITH IT, HAD IT LOOKED IT BY MECHANICS BUT THE CAR WAS NOT THROWING ANY CODES. TOLD IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LIFTER... BUT THEN THE TICKING NOISE JUST GOT LOUDER AND MY CAR STARTED USING MORE FUEL AND WASN'T RUNNING RIGHT. MY CAR HAS TRIED SHUTTING DOWN (DYING) IN AN INTERSECTION, SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT ALSO. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND OR EVEN CITY STREETS FEELS LIKE THE CAR IS CUTTING IN AND OUT. RPM'S ARE NOT STEADY, WILL BOUNCE FROM 700 RPM TO 400 RPM WHILE SITTING STILL. ROUGH IDLE ALSO. THE SOUND CONTINUED TO GET WORSE NOW SOUNDS LIKE A MARBLE BOUNCING AROUND IN THE VALVE. NOW THAT I HAVE FIGURED OUT THAT IT IS THE PURGE VALVE I AM BUYING THE PURGE VALVE TO GET IT FIXED. FROM THE RESEARCH THAT I HAVE DONE THIS PART COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT DUE TO THE CAR STALLING OUT AND OR DYING ON THE HIGHWAY OR IN A INTERSECTION. PRETTY SURE THAT WHAT IS LEFT OF MY WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS PART, I WOULDN'T THINK THAT A CAR THAT IS ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 65,000 MILES ON IT WOULD HAVE THIS KIND OF AN ISSUE AND THIS KIND OF AN ISSUE THAT WOULD NOT THROW A CODE LIKE A SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT OR SOMETHING. LIKE I SAID MY CAR HASN'T THROWN ANY CODES SO IT WASN'T REALLY THE EASIEST TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM SO IT COULD GET REPAIRED.

STILL HAVING ISSUES WITH CAR OVERHEATING WHILE DRIVING, I WAS REPLACING COOLANT ABOUT ONCE A MONTH. TWICE THE THERMOSTAT HOUSING WAS REPLACED, 8/2018 AND 11/2018. CAR HAD ISSUES AGAIN OVERHEATING WHILE DRIVING IN 4/2019. AN INTERCOOLER PIPE, PVC PIPE, WATER PIPE, AND WATER HOSE WERE REPLACED. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN IN 9/2019, MANY ISSUES WERE FOUND BUT I ONLY HAD ENOUGH MONEY TO REPAIR THE CATALYTIC CONVERTERS. AT THIS POINT I WAS REPLACING COOLANT EVERY TWO WEEKS TO AVOID THE ENGINE OVERHEATING AND AT TIMES IT WAS A VISIBLE PUDDLE COMING FROM UNDER THE CAR. 11/20/2019 I RETURNED TO GET A SENSOR AND ANOTHER THERMOSTAT HOUSING REPLACED. 11/27/2019 I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE SHOP AFTER MY VEHICLE BEGAN SMOKING WHILE DRIVING. I PULLED OVER AND COOLANT WAS QUICKLY DRIPPING OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR. THE RADIATOR WAS CRACKED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME I NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS NOISY AND THERE WAS A SCREECHY SOUND UPON ACCELERATION. I HAD TROUBLE PICKING UP SPEED. I GOT TO THE GAS STATION ABOUT A MILE AWAY AND TURNED OFF THE CAR TO GET GAS. WHEN I TURN THE VEHICLE BACK ON THE ENGINE BEGAN TO SHAKE, REV UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN, AND THEN CUT OFF. I TRIED A FEW TIMES TO START THE CAR UP AND IT HAPPENED EVERY TIME. I IMMEDIATELY CALLED THE REPAIR SHOP AND HAD THE CAR TOWED BACK THE SAME NIGHT. THEY WERE ABLE TO LOOK AT IT ON 11/29/2019 AND REPORTED THAT THEY SAW NO ISSUES. IN DISBELIEF, I PICKED UP THE CAR, AND I DROVE AROUND FOR ALMOST A WEEK. I ENDED UP COMING BACK TO RIDE ALONG WHILE A TECHNICIAN TEST DROVE THE CAR. HE SAW AND HEARD THE SAME ISSUES THAT I CLEARLY HAD WITH THE VEHICLE. WE RETURNED BACK TO THE SHOP AND HE DID A DIAGNOSTIC TEST THAT SHOWED THERE WAS AN ISSUE WITH THE TURBOCHARGER.

I GOT IT HOME SHUT IT OFF AND THE FAN WAS STILL GOING. SO I STARTED MY CAR AGAIN, LOOKED AT THE GAGES TO SEE THAT EVERYTHING WAS NORMAL.

  My engine light has been randomly coming on then off leaving many history codes. It's normally a diesel particulate filter code and I have paid hundreds replacing each sensor or part. So this time, Carroll Buick of Venice Fla says the embedded code is saying I need an engine control module , same code. I'm still driving it they say it's safe to drive because the part $900.00, plus labor, is backorder. I'm a bit over 100,000 miles and I have a lifetime power train warranty but it won't cover any electrical parts only greased literal parts of engine or transmission. I'm not certain it's true anymore they replaced everything so far over 2 years but I'm at theor mercy. Zurich warranty is not covering this and I'm shocked it went just b4 100k miles and now I'm at 107k. I feel chevy should own this issue since I've been told to keep driving it with the engine light on. I'm really scared but I need it to go to work please help thx
