Description of the problem | Hydraulic clutch activating system will fail at times resulting ot being able to disengage clutch. System has acdv a clutch delay orifice valve that clogs and allows fluid to go into an accumulator , thus not releasing the clutch. Its been a problem with earlier cruzes of 2011 2016. And ours 2017 ( gen2). Cruze talk . Com a chat room already shows a fix, but not 'gm" idea. We love the diesel that lists 52mpg , and has gotten 60mpg in the past. Been back to dealer 3 times on a flat bed since clutchpedal goes to floor and no clutch action. I myself searched the web and found tsb pip5558c which i told the dealer and is documented on warrenty claim . The tsb temporarily fixed issue. Presently dealer is ordering a slave cylinder which involves splitting the transaxle to replace. Cruze talk . Com states that is not the problem. Cruze talk . Com has a fix that involves no added pparts but instead requires removing the cdv and acculumulator. No non gm parts. Dealer " can,t use any non g parts but removing a pice or 2 would solve the problem. This is a safety issue. Already cars have reaended others caus clutch won,t disengage or trying to shift upp and have a truck etc. Run over yu cause can,t shift gears. Would think this issue has crossed your desk before. Llok up on web "cruze clutch pedal goes to floor" and see lots of comments. Cruzetalk has several which includes accidents cause of clutch failure. Please help us/. Love diesels , had to give up our2011 vw jetta cause of them cheating on immissions. Got a bonus + value and bought this cruze diesel for only2300. 00 diff. We are 81 and 79 , the only new car we ever had and now this. I am a retired mechanic so i know of what i speak. I hope they don,t milk this clutch issue till warranty expires. Already fighting over 5 yr 60,00 drive train warranty. Would like to keep the car with 6spd tranny please help |
