Automatic transmission failure
Chevrolet Cruze 2011 41000 miles
After driving 2000 miles on holidays, I felt a hit in the gearbox and inmediately the Checking indicator turned on. In the agency they told me that there were some computer codes that had not been erased on the last car maintainance. After that, a new failure appeared: the gearbox remained in its security position in 4th gear, no other could be put and the sequential transmission remained desactivated. I was then told that the automatic transmission's valves body needed to be replaced. Luckily, a mechanic told me it had to do with the oil never being changed by Chevrolet's agencies. He then changed the vehicle's oil and repaired the valves and now the gears are working perfectly. Hope it helps someone!

The code 79 is referred to an oil deficit or the need of an oil change. Once you do it, reset your vehicle and the problem will disappear.

CommentEngine noise Solved
Chevrolet Cruze 2013 42200 miles
When driving and I suddenly stop accelerating, a "clack" noise starts to be heard coming from the engine. When braking, the noise disappears. I personally believe it has something to do with the gearbox or the clutch, as when I press it the noise does not go away. Hope someone can give me a hand. Thanks.

Your car's problem is the flywheel. This has already happened twice to me.
does a flywheel makes a vehicle to loose power?
CommentError code 67 Solved
Chevrolet Cruze 2012 23000 miles
Error code 67 appeared to me and, as I've read in the handbook, it has to do with the steering column. When turning of the car and opening door, a strange noise can be heard. I assume it is the steering wheel's lock. Does anyone know how to solve it?

The error code 67 is an error between the comunication of the bodywork module and the steering column one. In the steering column module there is a device that reads the steering wheel's position and, when reading it inappropriately, the bodywork module determines that its state is not the right one to start, nullifying this function. The problem is within the column module, where a latch locks or breaks. In most of the cases, the problem can be solved by hitting softly the steering column module, located right under the column itself and to access it you simply need to remove the underlying plasic, which has four screws. Others say that, only by moving the direction, when pressing the start button again there will be no inconvenients. Good luck!

If the noise when you open the door is longer than usual, you should take your car to some workshop because it is the steering column module that is failing.
The steering module device can be fix without going to any workshop if only you have the time to figure it out... you need to know what the steering module is it under the your car steering area inside, just lose it out and clean up the old grease inside and check if the small motor inside is okay if yes just it will work for you and the error will be gone once you complete this process. Make sure that you grease the device back before mounting it back good luck
@Paulhi i just wanna ask on how to remove the steering column box? Thank You.

Meu cruze LT eco tec 6 aut, ano 2012. Enquanto dirige ou parado ligado, ao virar o volante para ambos os lados el faz um barulho rangendo e estralando na frente. Parece que vem das torres dos amortecedores. Já troquei tudo na frente, menos amortecedores, pois o mecânico disse que estão bons. Mas o barulho permanece. Horrível!

CommentRear end assembly noise
Chevrolet Cruze 2013 2800 miles
When driving through a hole or bump, a noise is heard coming from the rear end assembly. The agency announced that the noise is coming from the brakes and that it is a manufacturing problem.

Hi, the noise you are talking about comes from the brakes' calipers. To solve it, you need to remove the four clamps and change the spins. This way the annoying noise will disappear. Good luck!
High wind driving HR Holden 2009 Cruze around 30 km per hour there is a noise coming from the back right wheel we have kept the car up and spin the wheel which runs freely and no sound and also tried wiggling the wheel back and forwards from the top to bottom and from the back to front any idea what this could be
