2014 Chevrolet Cruze Fuel System Problems

According to my car being diagnosed the fuel pump needs replaced. The car is available for inspection. A warning signal is on my dash board, its the check engine light that is on.

Vehicle has a faulty catalytic converters had the check engine light on got it tested the p0420 code issued.

HAVING A COOLANT LEAK AND CAN'T FIND THE SOURCE ..HAD DYE PUT IN BY MECHANIC TOLD TO DRIVE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS ..WENT BACK AND EVERYTHING IS DRY NO LEAK DETECTED BUT LOOSING COOLANT ..FAN COMES ON AC SHUT OFF DUE TO ENGINE OVERHEATING..SITTING AND OR DRIVING

I AM HAVE ISSUES WITH THE P0420 ERROR CODE. I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC WHO ADVISED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. NOT BELIEVING WHAT HE SAID DUE TO THE CAR BEING FAIRLY NEW. I WENT TO AUTO ZONE TO HAVE THE CODES READ AND OF COURSE THE CODE DISPLAYS WITH THE P0420 CODE. I SEE THAT THIS WAS A RECALL ON CERTAIN MODELS BUT DID NOT INCLUDE MY 2014 PER VIN CHECK.*DT*JB

THIS VEHICLE WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW AND IS ONLY 6 YEARS OLD. WHY AM I HAVING TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER ON THIS VEHICLE?!! I'VE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR JERKING AND RIDING ROUGH FOR OVER A YEAR BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP (SUPERIOR CHEVROLET IN DECATUR, GA) SWEARS THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. NOW ALL OF A SUDDEN THAT I NO LONGER HAVE A WARRANTY, I NEED TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER.

"TAKATA RECALL" CATALYTIC CONVERTER NOT WORKING PROPERLY. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT GOES ON AND OFF NUMEROUS TIMES. WHEN THE LIGHT FIRST CAME ON, THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION HEADING SOUTH BOUND ON HWY 167.

MY CAR LOST POWER AND DOES NOT GET UP TO SPEED AS IT SHOULD

PARKED THE CAR, GOT OUT AND SMELLED GASOLINE. LOOKED ALL AROUND THE CAR AND DID NOT SEE ANY GAS ON THE GROUND. OPENED THE HOOD AND FOUND A SILVER DISC IN THE FUEL LINE SPRAYING FUEL ALL OVER THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. IT IS A FUEL INJECTION PRESSURE DAMPER THAT FAILED. DEALERSHIP IS SAYING THE PART IS OBSOLETE AND CAN NOT GET ANOTHER ONE.

MY 2014 CHEVY CRUZE EXPERIENCED A FUEL LEAK IN THE FUEL SUPPLY HOSE. THE LEAK WAS SPRAYING RIGHT NEAR THE AIR INDUCTION ON THE COWL PANEL AND DRIPPING ONTO THE EXHAUST. OBVIOUSLY THIS WAS A MAJOR FIRE HAZARD. THE ENTIRE FRONT FRONT FUEL FEED LINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. A QUICK YOUTUBE SEARCH SHOWS THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN EXPERIENCING THIS. SEE THE VIDEO BELOW.

FUEL PRESSURE, LEAKING . VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALERSHIP ON 4/19/2018 AND IS STILL THERE WAITING ON PART, TODAY'S DATE IS 6/19/2018 . I DO NOT KNOW WHY THIS PART IS LEAKING, BUT DEALERSHIP SAYS NO ONE HAS THE CORRECT PART ( EVEN THOUGH I FOUND ONE ONLINE FOR 17.00)

THERE ARE GAS AND EXHAUST FUMES IN THE CABIN. THE CONDITION IS INTERMITTENT AND SUBTLE. THREE DIFFERENT GM SHOPS HAVE EXAMINED THE CAR IN 2018. ONE HAS WITNESSED THE GAS SMELL BUT NOTED THEY COULD NOT FIND THE SOURCE. THE OTHER TWO STATED THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE FUMES. WE FIRST NOTED ODORS WHEN THE CAR WAS PURCHASED IN 2014 BUT WE DID NOT REALIZE WHAT THEY WERE. THE CONDITION HAS INTENSIFIED RAISING OUR CONCERNS. WE HAVE ALSO BEGAN TO MAKE CONNECTION TO HEALTH ISSUES. OUR FAMILY'S HEALTH HAS BEEN AFFECTED.

JULY 2017 I HAD A GM (VOLUNTARY) MANUFACTURE RECALL COMPLETED ON MY CAR FOR THE NOX SENSOR POSITION 1 (DEF SENSOR). ON JANUARY 16, 2018 THE NOX SENSOR 2 NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, COST $700. I WAS VERY FAR FROM A DEALERSHIP, AND WHEN I FINALLY GOT TO A DEALERSHIP I WAS AT 16 MILES BEFORE THE CAR SPEED WOULD GO TO THE 4MPH SPEED REDUCTION. I LIVE IN MICHIGAN AND THE WEATHER HAS BEEN VERY COLD. I WOULD HAVE BEEN IN A JAM IF I HADN'T MADE IT TO A DEALERSHIP SOON, BECAUSE THE CAR WOULDN'T HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GO OVER 4MPH. THE NOX POSITION 2 SENSOR SHOULD HAVE BE PART OF THE RECALL WHEN THE POSITION 1 SENSOR WAS REPLACED.

VEHICLE RIDING NORMAL AND SUDDENLY STARTS DECELERATING. PUSHING ON GAS PEDAL ONLY MAKES CAR SLOW QUICKER. HAS OCCURRED 3 TIMES ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS AND ONCE ON CITY STREETS. HAVE BEEN BACK TO DEALER 3 TIMES UNDER WARRANTY WITH NO FIX. CAR HAS 33,175 MILES AND DEALER WANTS $99 TO "DRIVE IT AROUND AND SEE IF THEY CAN DETERMINE THE CAUSE". TO RESUME DRIVING YOU MUST STOP, SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL, AND GIVE ENGING A BIT OF GAS. THEN YOU CAN RESUME DRIVING NORMALLY. I SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING, BUT AGAIN WHEN I PUSHED ACCELERATOR THE SPEED DROPPED FASTER AGAIN. THE ELECTRONICS GIVE NO CODES OR LIGHTS AND 3 OCCURRENCES WERE AT HIGHWAY SPEED OF 60 MPH WITH NO ROOM TO MANEUVER OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD. TODAY I NEARLY HAD MULTIPLE CARS BEHIND ME CRASH AS THEY BRAKED OR SWERVED TO MISS ME. DEALER IS MARHOFERCHEVROLET IN STOW, OHIO.

CAR ONLY HAS 50,500 MILES ON IT. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON FOR GAS AIR INTAKE PROBLEMS AND MAYBE GASKET PROBLEMS. CAR WILL BE IDLE AT A LIGHT AND THE RPMS WILL REV UP AND DOWN CONSTANTLY. SEEN WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE WITH EVEN LESS MILES ON THEIR CARS. SHOULDN'T BE HAPPENING. $300.00 FIX QUOTE.

THE FUEL GAUGES, BOTH DIGITAL AND ANALOG, SHOWED THAT THE DISTANCE TO EMPTY WAS 70 MILES. ACTUALLY, THERE WAS NO GASOLINE LEFT IN THE TANK AND THE VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP ON THE HIGHWAY. THIS HAPPENED TWICE. AFTER THE FIRST TIME, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, WEST HERR CHEVROLET IN BUFFALO, NY, WHICH DESCRIBED THE PROBLEM AS RUNNING OUT OF GASOLINE. THE FUEL GAUGES ARE DEFECTIVE. WHEN THE TANK WAS FILLED AFTER RUNNING OUT OF GASOLINE, THE GAUGES CONTINUED TO READ THAT THERE WAS ONLY 70 MILES TO EMPTY FOR AN ADDITIONAL 24 HOURS OR MORE.

MY CAR IS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE AND ONLY HAD 17,000 MILES ON IT WHEN MY FUEL PUMP WENT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN A BUSY STREET AT NIGHT. BEFORE THAT HAPPENED I NOTICED FOR SEVERAL DAYS BEFORE THAT MY GAS WAS BURNING UP AT AN ALARMING RATE. NOT EVEN GETTING 25 MILES WHEN I HAD PUT $20.00 IN TANK. THE DAY THIS HAPPENED I LEFT MY HOUSE WHERE I WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE, MY FIRST STOP WAS A GAS STATION. UPON LEAVING THERE I MADE IT HALF A BLOCK AND CAR DIED IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I COULD NOT GO ANYWHERE JUST DEAD. TRIED THE BATTERY, TRIED TO JUMP IT BUT NOTHING WORKED, SO I HAD IT TOWED HOME.. THE NEXT DAY I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY TOWED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAD MY CAR FOR A COUPLE DAYS BEFORE THEY TOLD ME I HAD SOMETHING IN MY GAS, SENT ME A PICTURE OF THIS MEASURING CUP WITH 2 DIFFERENT SEPARATED LIQUIDS IN IT. ONE CLEAR AND ONE LIGHT BROWN. SAID IT WOULD BE $1013. AND CHANGE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM AND SINCE IT WAS VANDALISM IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY. I WAS VERY UPSET SO HE SUGGESTED I CALL INSURANCE AND CLAIM THROUGH THEM. WENT BACK AND FORTH WITH THEM TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHEN THE INSURANCE ADJUSTER WAS GOING TO BE THERE. 2 WEEKS WENT BY AND I WAS STILL PAYING FOR A CAR RENTAL AND THEY HADN'T STARTED ON MY CAR YET. INSURANCE ADJUSTER CAME OUT AND SAID THEY WOULD COVER IF IT WAS VANDALISM BUT HE DIDN'T THINK IT WAS VANDALISM. I DIDN'T EITHER SINCE I WAS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND I WAS HAVING FUEL PROBLEMS BEFORE. SO MY DEDUCTIBLE WAS KIND OF HIGH AND INSURANCE SAID IT WASN'T WORTH IT TO COVER FOR THAT LITTLE BIT OF MONEY AND I AGREED. IT TOOK THEM LONGER THAN 2 WEEKS TO FIX IT. THEY SAID THE BAD FUEL MADE THE FUEL PUMP GO OUT, AND I'M NOT SO SURE BECAUSE TONS OF PEOPLE COMPLAIN ABOUT THE FUEL PUMP IN DIFFERENT ONLINE FORUMS. I'D LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS MORE PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS. UPLOADED 2 PHOTOS AND ALSO HAVE PAPERWORK INFO FROM INSURANCE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE HEATER FOR THE DIESEL FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 CHEVROLET CRUZE. AFTER STARTING THE ENGINE, A STRONG ODOR OF FUEL WAS PRESENT INSIDE THE VEHICLE. WHILE IDLING, APPROXIMATELY 1/4 OF A TANK OF FUEL HAD EVAPORATED.

PROBLEM: SMELL OF GAS UPON RESTART OF VEHICLE. SUMMARY; I HAD DRIVEN FROM CHICAGO TO BROWNSTOWN, MI (WHICH IS A DISTANCE OF ABOUT 250 - 300 MILES) WHERE I DROPPED SOMEONE OFF. STOPPED FOR ABOUT 5 MINUTES, THEN STARTED DRIVING FROM BROWNSTOWN TO CARLETON. WHEN LEAVING BROWNSTOWN, I DID ACCELERATE A LITTLE MORE FORCEFULLY THAN USUAL TO GET AWAY FROM TAILGATER, AND CONTINUED THE TRIP TO CARLETON (TOTAL DISTANCE ABOUT 7 MILES). STOPPED AT STORE FOR ABOUT 10 - 15 MINUTES FOR GROCERIES. WHEN I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE IN CARLETON STORE PARKING LOT, THERE WAS A DISTINCT SMELL OF GASOLINE. THE SMELL DISSIPATED AFTER A MINUTE, BUT I ALSO OPENED THE WINDOW TO HELP WITH THAT. TODAY I GOOGLED CRUZE GAS SMELL TO SEE IF ANY OTHER PEOPLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME THING, AND I FOUND SEVERAL COMMENTS DESCRIBING GAS SMELL ON RESTART OF CAR. I AM REPORTING THIS, ONLY TO BRING IT TO YOUR ATTENTION. I WILL BE TAKING MY CRUZE INTO THE DEALERSHIP SOON FOR ANOTHER ISSUE WITH FLUID LEAKING FROM CAR (RECEIVED LETTER YESTERDAY, AND HAVE OBSERVED SAME), AND WILL REPORT THE GAS SMELL. ALTHOUGH NOTHING HAS HAPPENED, A GAS SMELL SEEMS LIKE A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS PROBLEM. I AM HOPING THE PROBLEM WILL BE IDENTIFIED AND FIXED BEFORE A SERIOUS INCIDENT OCCURS. *TR
