2014 Chevrolet Cruze Engine

Constant overheating issues with coolant loss. I have changed so many parts in this engine to correct the issue and nothing is working. There are far too many complaints online with this specific model. Why hasn’t there been a recall on this issue? This is a safety concern especially when the engine loses power while driving.

Water pump failure with head gasket crack

Catalytic converters melted do to extreme engine temperatures no heat warning was given temperature gage never went off . Water pump has been replaced 4 times. Exhaust is now affected by melted catalytic converters.

I have this code p0324 and I replaced the whole knock sensor including the wiring with it and the code still pop up, my car is Chevy Cruze 2014 LTZ 1.4 L4 Turbo. Yesterday I went to dealer to program it and they did program the PCM and later in the evening, the check engine light pop up again with the same code but the car run fine. I seriously want to know what else can cause the issues!!

i have a feeling their is an issue with the head gasket for many reasons, smoke is coming out of the vehicle of the hood and has a burning smell to it. i checked online and it said some 2013 and 2014 versions of the Chevy cruze have been recalled due to not long lasting head gaskets, and i see how theirs no recalls on the vehicle but it seems theirs an issue with the head gasket and its a 2014 so im assuming this vehicle is a recall. i dont want anything serious to happen to this vehicle as this is my life and i need this car to goto my job and do the things i need to do.

I had tried to enter my address is in Canada not the states… I have had to fix my car couple times and issue has not been resolved as I would get a dashboard warning that the oil pressure is low and to turn off the vehicle. The coolant overheat to the point it’s boiling. There is a recall for this issue however not sure why this vehicle does not qualify as it’s a safety hazard

When I took my vehicle to the dealer on 2-24-23 they inform me my head gasket failed the my engine wasn’t any good due to overheating the coolant was leaking inside the engine. I took the vehicle to the dealer when antifreeze wouldn’t stay in the reservoir and white smoke from the exhaust and as 4-12-23 my vehicle is still at the dealer.

both cataltic converters are cracked. There was a recall on some 2014 chevy cruze for higher tempatures in exhaust that might cause this issue.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that while the vehicle was parked, there was coolant leaking onto the ground. The vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic however, the cause of the failure could not be determined. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was approximately 101,000.

The contact owns a 2014 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated while driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle unintendedly accelerated. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact had taken the vehicle to an independent mechanic who diagnosed and determined that the catalytic converter and the up and down screen sensors needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. Additionally, the vehicle had started to overheat. The contact stated that the temperature gauge was in the red zone. The contact stopped the vehicle and became aware that the coolant reservoir was almost empty. The contact added almost a gallon of coolant. The contact stated that the coolant leaked out onto the driveway. The contact had taken the vehicle to a dealer, and it was determined that the water pump needed to be replaced. The water pump was replaced. The contact had taken the vehicle to another dealer where it was diagnosed with a defective water pump and by appearance the pump had not been replaced. The vehicle had not been repaired. The contact researched online and related the failure to TSB Number: 14371B - Engine Coolant Leak from the Water Pump (Engine and Engine Cooling). The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was 105,481.

The exact scenario discussed in the 2015 NHTSA Service Bulletin No 14371B, also happened to my 2014 Chevrolet Cruze with a 1.8L engine rather than the 1.4L engine referenced. The original manufacturer water pump was confirmed to be the source of the coolant leak by an independent service center. The part is available for inspection upon request. No engine lights went off, I personally observed the leaking fluid on the ground because of the previous incident noted below. These repairs cost thousands and have done an unknown amount of damage to the engine. A previous coolant leak issue was identified 1 year prior with the thermostat housing. This caused a significant rise in the temperature of the car's engine, which ultimately led to the car being unsafe to drive as it would begin to overheat within minutes of beginning to drive. The warning sign "Engine Hot, AC Off" message appeared, the chiming sound was heard, and I was luckily able to pull into my driveway only 5 minutes later. If I had not been close to home, I would have been forced to pull off on the side of the interstate which is exceptionally unsafe and illegal. The alerts did not appear until the engine was on the brink of overheating. This was confirmed by an independent service center and the part is no longer in my possession.

I have had a coolant leak issue with my car, which I bought brand new, multiple times. My mechanic has had to replace the water pump and or fix coolant issues multiple times. It happens every year around the same time. I called Chevrolet a couple years ago begging them to research for a recall. If you look online, there are multiple forums, webpages, and discussions of the same issue with the same make and model. Costing consumers hundreds and thousands of dollars for repairs, repeat repairs. Please address this! Chevrolet offers no help!

On dash it says 1. engine overheated; idle engine 2. A/c off due to high engine temp 3. Fan will spin in high speed and stays on when you turn off the car

Our 2014 Chevy Cruze is once again having the catalytic convertor fail. We took the car in on 12/04/19 as the maintenance light came on and the dealership said the catalytic convertor was failing and needed to be replaced otherwise it would damage the engine. We had it replaced with a "brand new" catalytic convertor at the Chevrolet dealership. Now we are being told by a different repair shop that the catalytic convertor is "failing again". The maintenance light came on about a week ago so we took it in to be diagnosed. Again catalytic convertor failing. This is very dangerous as our young daughter now drives that car and drives back and forth to college. Should this fail and cause the vehicle to stop on a busy highway this will put her and her passengers in grave danger. This is one of many online articles that state a catalytic convertor should last 10 years. If not properly replaced by Chevrolet then we will have to put on the 3rd part in less than 9 years: https://www.cars.com/articles/how-often-should-i-replace-my-catalytic-converter-1420683869829/ Chevrolet gives a 8-year/80,000 miles: https://www.cruzetalk.com/threads/8-year-80-000-mile-warranty.235259/ This is the second replacement of the same part, obviously GM part suppliers are installing sub-par and unsafe equipment on their vehicles.
