Description of the problem	2012 cruze lt. The third turbo was installed 2 days before extended warranty expired. It has 56668 miles now. I spent 4 hours putting glue putty in the cracks on the bottom intake manifold, to plenum junction corners of cylinders 2 and 4 because of the gm plastic shit, curing the low boost and lean mixture codes at idle, on easter. The first month i had the car the transmission would start in first skip second gear rev up then chirp the tires until it warmed up, and was fixed by a program change to a lesser version and now at the higher mileage it waits before it engages first at all. Another neat thing is to turn left at 5mph hard and feel the car do a jig to the right for an instant before continuing on with the turn. Lastly, the water pump was replaced along with a cracked water outlet but not the rotted recirculation overflow hose that broke at 4 am to my fishing hole in september. I can say that the 2017 cruze must be better because the dumdums paid by the gm insurance company to change oil put more new oil in the motor without draining it first. No serious issues for a whole week i might be able to drive it by may it
