Chevrolet Cruze

"It was really the DPF. No specific problems with the catalytic converter - as long as I keep sufficient DEF (diesel emission fluid) in the tank."

"Vehicle is a turbo-diesel that is no longer available. Chevrolet has apparently discontinued many of the replacement parts for the vehicle - even though it is otherwise in pretty good shape. I was hoping to get another 50-100K miles out of it."

"Power windows stopped working."

"Overheated; 2 replacement engines failed to solve problem. Now awaiting a 3rd engine."

"It exploded."

"Started out having bad oil leaks, ending up be bad valve in intake manifold putting to much pressure on the valve cover gaskets and pressure in the engine causing leaking everywhere. I had a new intake, valve cover and gasket set put on the car but it would still not run correctly. Took it to a mechanic and he said it needed a new engine. After pricing engines at more cost and labor than the car was worth, I dug into it and found the timing chain had stretched and the cams were not timed correctly. I replaced the timing chain, oil cooler and manifold gaskets and the car is back up running again."

"The plastic coolant manifold where the radiator hose is connected to the engine disintegrated."

"The antifreeze leaks in this car was caused by the oil cooler that has coolant running through it, The gaskets blew and to get the oil cooler oil off it had to be broken to remove. It was replaced with an aftermarket unit that worked well with the exception of a small oil leak at the oil pressure sender. This oil leak was annoying, smelly and hard to find, but after a few months of it leaking oil I found the the housing on the new cooler would not allow the sending unit to tighten all the way to seal correctly. I had to take a grinder and remove about a quarter of an inch of the housing to get the leak stopped."

"The engine oil cooler cracked at some point. It was kind of difficult to tell when it started, but this is the first time ever in the life of the car it happened. The primary symptom was just I noticed there was oil mixing in the coolant reservoir. I otherwise didn't notice any other symptoms. The problem was resolved via the shop I take it to replacing the broken oil cooler, and flushing the coolant system to remove all the oil/coolant mixture."
