Description of the problem | Engine has loud injector and purge valves both producing a clicking noise. The noise can clearly be heard from inside/outside car with hood closed. This issue is triggering a knock sensor code. The car has always had burning oil smell as well which while under warranty the dealership magically could not produce. I believe they did not want to produce it as it has always clearly been there from day one off dealer's lot. I know for fact i am not the only one to experience these issues. I am adding the website as reference; https://www. Cruzetalk. Com/threads/lifter-issue-with-2012-eco. 165122/ this noise is present when vehicle is idle, running and in motion. My vehicle has 88,000 miles total which is very little for engine issues! The dealership i took it to for diagnosis said his daughter's cruze had the same identical issue and was covered under powertrain warranty. Unfortunately, as i stated, the dealer could never find any issues while covered under warranty. I am concerned i will be left stranded somewhere with this vehicle and/or it catches on fire due to some sort of oil/engine issue. |
