I've had my car for 3 years now (2012 Cruze LT/ 4-Cyl, Turbo, 1.4 Liter) and have a total of 24 service reports on my record. They have replaced (under warranty) 12-13 parts on my car since I have been the owner. I bought it used with only 20k miles on it, within a few weeks of having it my check engine light came on and since then it has been a constant battle taking it back and forth to the dealership to have it fixed. My car was actually driving fine, no issues for once prior to taking it in. I took it to Chevrolet on Thursday for the recalls, one being to reprogram the engine control module (to revise the fuel enrichment strategy as required) and the other to replace something with the coolant system. After picking my car up on Friday I drove not even 10 minutes down the road and my check engine light is on, my engine is surging, the car when you press the brakes does a jumping or bouncing back and forth motion and there is black smoke coming out the exhaust. During that trip to the dealership they also found a coolant leak so they replaced the water outlet and vent hose, also found a diaphragm leak and replaced the camshaft cover and replaced the intake manifold(this is the second time the intake manifold has been replaced since last July.) I took the car back to the dealership yesterday and they called me stating that my service engine light was on because "they believe that I may" have a bad O2 sensor but that isn't covered under warranty and I had to pay out of pocket for it. My argument was that my car was fine before I took it for recalls, even where I took it for a second opinion thinks they did something that caused the sensor to go bad. Has anyone else had these issues after their recall? or just with their cruze in general....
