Here is all you need to know-after the warranty expired all of the following happened in rapid succession: Fuel pump needed replaced, water pump needed replacement, coolant hoses leaking constantly, thermostat replaced three times, oil pan leaking, coolant reservoir cracked needing replacement, intake manifold replaced, cracked head. In applying the words of an old SNL skit orginally referencing Derek Jeter, to this car- The Chevy Cruze sucks in three separate and distinct ways. 1. So hard 2. So long 3. All the time.

Great cabin comfort for driver especially seat. Difficult but not terrible for disabled elders to get in and out of from back. Liked Cruze enough to lease same car, differnt colors 3 times. Sluggish on hills and when merging onto a hilly highway despite turbo engine. Overall, enjoyed driving it,.

Bought this 2014 LT 1.4T in the summer in Texas, at 86K miles. Once it finally got cold outside(DEC/JAN) I noticed foul burning oil smells coming from the heater vents, like toxic obnoxious overwhelming nauseating smells. This car is known for several issues and there are ways to get long fixes, but for only 86K miles it shouldn't have had those issues. Fast forward to 95K miles and have figured that as long as I keep the fan OFF while idling at a light or in traffic, the nauseating smells dont permeate the cabin. Heater can be ran during any vehicle speed without smells. Also, engine light came on and end result was the PCV valve on the valve cover. Which failed due to the infamous check valve in the intake manifold had disappeared. I found a great long term repair thanks to the guys at https://www.cruzetalk.com/. Fast forward to 110K miles, water pump failed. 120K miles, output water/coolant fitting failed. I will update so long as I have this car. Do not recommend this car.

Got mine with about 130,000 miles on the clock and its just a money pit. I'll admit compared to other compacts it's got character but that's about it , the engine is giving out; oil leaks timing chain issues and more . The interior like i said is amazing but all in all its not worth it i dont know why chevy would make this.

Great car...when it is not in the shop

We bought a new 2014 Chevy Cruze with the 1.4L Turbo engine in late 2013. It now has 67,000 miles on it, and when it is working well, it is a great car. However, it has had a lot go wrong, and every time something goes wrong, it is a huge bill, because it is seemingly designed to be very difficult to work on. This car has always had oil changes when due. It has not been a neglected car, but has been in the shop more than any car I've ever had. In just the Summer months of 2023, the ignition coil pack failed (again; original failed awhile back), the thermostat failed, the coolant outlet failed, the main engine wiring harness shorted and had to be replaced at great expense, the turbo failed, the oil pan gasket failed (and it is a ridiculous cost to fix this; not like your typical oil pan gasket on older cars), and now the timing chain needs to be replaced. This is in addition to some major repairs in other recent years. We are done with Chevy. Never again. It's too bad. This really is a nice car to drive, but it seems it is just a ticking time bomb, and every time something goes wrong, it's another thousand or two thousand dollars. Reliability is just terrible. If you're thinking of buying one of these (unless it's mine), run...find something else. Ultimately we had it fixed and sold it before there was another bill we'd be responsible for and bought a different brand. I'm sorry to say it, but I will never buy a Chevrolet again.
