Description of the problem | My 20 yr old daughter bought this car in may 2020. She had it 1 week and ended up broken down on the side of the road the interstate, 3-1/2 hrs away at school because the catalytic converter went out. 2 weeks and a new catalytic converter, i am on the side of the road because she couldn't stay and wait for it, and we wouldn't let her take it until we knew it was right. Another 4 weeks later, replaced the motor and catalytic converter again, and the check engine light comes back on within 2 weeks and leaves me stranded on the highway once again! This time the reading showed only an o2 sensor so my husband changed it. The car ran fine for a while, then the check engine light came back on. Not long after this, the stabilitrak warning light also came on and so there are 13 error codes coming up! We have always been a chevrolet family, but not anymore! This has ruined us! And when/if we can get it running well enough to get rid of it, it is gone! The error codes attached are from july & september 2020. I didn't get a picture the last couple of times that my husband checked it. General motors there are hundreds of complaints. And that's just the ones who actually take the time to hunt the nhtsa down and file a complaint. Not everyone will do so! I personally know of at least one other person in my hometown (of less than 20,000) that owns a 2013 cruze that is having the exact same problems! I know we are just little people to you. But these are our lives! If we could afford to drive a high-priced, top-of-the-line vehicle, trust me, we would! |
