Description of the problem | There was a recall on 2013-2014 chevy cruz turbos with certain vin numbers. I own a 2013 chevy cruze, with the exact engine (1. 4l turbo engine). My turbo is going (the exact same issue with the recalled part for the other chevy cruze's), but my vin isn't included in the recall. I wanted to reach out to see if the recall wasn't expansive enough. It seems strange that my less-than-60,000 mile, 5 year old car has the exact same problem as other cars built with the same engine / year, and that the problems aren't related. It's $1600 to fix, and if it was a defect from the manufacturer, that seems like an unfair amount to pay. The issue hasn't incapacitated the car yet; it was diagnosed through a check engine light on my car when i was getting a tire fixed at the dealership. |
