I own a 2015 Chevy Cruze and started having issues at 92, 077 miles. I drive 80 miles a day to and from work which is 400 miles a week. Started off by smelling coolant while driving. Did not see any leakage under the car on the driveway. Next the engine started to misfire. Then a oil coolant line to the Turbo charger leaked. Also had over heating in the engine. Ended up with a cracked cylinder head. Had to have the Turbo charger replaced. All of these issues happened between 92, 077 and 106, 215 miles. Plus after almost all of these issues I had AAA tow the car to the dealership I purchased the car from. Total bill for all of these repairs was 6, 404. 57. I sent a letter to GM about my problems, no help, they gave me a 100. 00 voucher. My concern is that the initial problem should have been found during the 92, 077 mark. Coolant was leaking into the engine and cause much of this havoc and caused me to become a poorer man, money wise.

Dear Friends! This is a very important message. Anyone who buys a
new car from GENERAL Motors the chance you threw your money into the
trash is very large. In this company there is no customer service, the
company's management does not care at all, if you have a problem or a
malfunction, you can only pray to God there is a chance that the help
will come faster. GM is a very dangerous company, be careful and keep
your money safe!

My dad had the same issue with his 14 Cruze 1. 4 turbo. It was a crack in the #1 cylinder wall due to what Im assuming is casting flaws with the blocks. GM replaced the engine even though the car wasnt under warranty any longer, which makes me think that they know they have an issue but want to keep it low key. Could be worth a shot to ask a GM dealer about the issue, even though Im sure you want the engine job. Lol.

Blown Headgasket sounds like the problem. My 2002 Subaru Outback had 2 bad headgasket issues. One at 171k miles and one at 232, 000. I noticed at time there were non visible leaks and external leaks from the coolant. Subaru are known for that problem but I rather own a Subaru than any GM product. Boy I have heard bad reps with them such as overheating issues, rotted frames and burning oil.

People on here saying Chevy is junk hate to tell there ALL junk today every Honda Toyota Kia Ford Dodge Gm ect. They are all built with crap cheap outsourced parts that may last till the warranty is up after that good luck. No brand is reliable anymore just look at the service bays at the stealerships they are all full.

Of course a leaking head gasket with your coolant running out the exhaust is no fun either. Something cut two lines across the gasket and just acted like a straw for the coolant to the muffler. Didn't have to grind anythingjust replace the gasket. Only had about 70k miles on it so I got lucky, I think.

Thanks! After changing a leaking water pump last month, I'm still losing coolant and can't find the leak. I also have the shaky start up and the smell of burning coolant, so now I know where to look. I take really good care of my vehicles, but I've had nothing but problems with this car (2015 Cruze LT.

I have a 2014 1. 8l and notice that it leaks coolant but very slow. Perhaps I have the same issue. Would a misfire show up as a check engine light? Because so far so good. Thanks for the video.

The CRUZ is the biggest piece of shit car ever made! Should of been recalled in 2012. Our 2011 LTZ just hit 70, 000 miles. Seriously think we need to get rid of it before it falls apart
