I have a 2011 Chevy Cruze ECO m6 that I found with motor oil all over the top of the intake manifold and a huge drop in gas mileage (46mpg to 39.1 same consistant driving). It has been to the dealer 3 times so far:

First time:
The dealer replaced the timing cover. No change.

Second time:

The dealer replaced the intake manifold and says that the oil is overpressuring coming the through the PCV from the a valve overpressurizing the system.

No change.

Third time:

The dealer says they need to replace the turbo since the turbo is cooled by engine oil and turbo could be over pressurizing the system but they are awaiting for a final word from the GM engineers...

Now a total time of 3 weeks without the Cruze and I might be thinking a Lemon.

This is now where I am stuck.... Tell me what you guys think.

First I assume that they check to make sure it was not accidentally overfilled at the factory.
Just a wild stab, but perhaps the variable displacement oil pump isnt varying correctly.

That seems to make more sense than the replacing the turbo.... The car has 13000 miles on it so overfilled oil should not be a issue...

You can lemon a car after one year, you just get a depreciated value.

As Skilz pointed out, make sure your documentation reads right for dates and such. Whatever copy they gave you is the one I would be trying to get held up in court if need be!

Awesome... thanks... been at the Dealer for 2 weeks now and they have no idea what to do... I am in WA state and Lemon Law works for the first year..... A reasonable attempts to fix the problem and reasonable amount of time....4 Tries to fix/ more than 30 days without the car. The car will be repurchase at the original sale price if within 6 months of purchase...

This is everything I read from state law. Once I mention the word Lemon to the dealer they acted 100 percent different. Last I heard is they have no idea, but I stopped by and talked to the tech today and he said replacing the motor is not out of the question.

Thanks for all the help I will keep everyone updated....
