What are some common Chevrolet cruze problems?

Iā€™m considering buying a used 2018 Chevy Cruze. Should I be worried about engine problems, or are these issues uncommon?

I have encountered a problem with my Chevy Cruze compact car. Major issues with this model, especially from 2011 to 2015, include transmission failures, engine problems, coolant leaks, and electrical issues.

Hello, I may help you figure them out using my 2017 model. Common Problems with the 2017 Chevrolet Cruze include:

  • Electrical Problems
  • Engine Troubles ā€” Cracked Piston; Check Engine Light; Check Engine Light On; Fire Hazard In High-Pressure Relief Valve; Misfire; Piston Corrosion.
  • Brakes Problems:
  • Fuel System Problems:

While the Chevy Cruze is a popular choice, some common problems can pop up. Early models (2011-2015) might have a jerky transmission or difficulty shifting gears. Engine issues like rough idling or loss of power have also been reported across different Cruze years. Adding to the mix, some owners have experienced strange electrical problems, like the trunk mysteriously opening by itself!
