Warning lights gear indicator

2014 Chevrolet Cruze 1.4l 160000 miles
These warning lights came on steering control, power steering, traction control stabilizer and the shifting indicator does not display. It will not shift gears once I start driving and when I do shift from gear to gear it jerks really hard. I notice the bushing on shift cable was broke. So we put a rubber bushing in to see if that would work. And it started working but once we put the rite bushing on it stopped working and now matter what we try it will not work. Disconnected the tcm and the ground tested hot. Look over the ground wire and it's not showing any damage to it. All fuses are good also.

The car stalls after being stopped at a red light

2017 Chevrolet Cruze Premier hatchback 80250 miles
I guess it has something to do with the start/stop system cuz when I'm stopped at a red light and I go to push the gas so when it goes to turn on it stalls out so I've been driving in the L gear L6 to be exact... because I find out that's like kind of like a manual it doesn't use the start/stop system so I don't have to sit there at a red light with cars behind me trying to turn my car back on so I can go instead of blocking everyone I hate this car

Persistent P0420 Code SolvedSolved

2015 Chevrolet Cruze LT, Turbo 111000 miles
My check engine light keeps coming back on with the code P0420 on my 2015 Chevy Cruze LT. I've replaced the front catalytic converter, both O2 sensors (one is aftermarket and one is GM made based on advice from a Chevy mechanic), replaced all the spark plugs, replaced coolant hoses, the coolant container, did a smoke test and found no leaks... I'm out of ideas on how to fix this code. The car drives just fine unless I ride it hard (fast accelerations and/or high speeds for long distances), then it will stutter and the check engine light will flash. If I back off and give it a few moments, the… Read complete

Have you fixed it yet I have the same problem
Zenny from United States a year ago
No, still haven't fixed it. I asked on Reddit and some people think the fact that I replaced the original catalytic converter with an aftermarket one could be the issue. Did you replace yours with a GM cat or aftermarket cat?
Abaa from United States a year ago
I got a 2013 Chevy Cruze mine stuttered too at one point I would check your coil pack because if one of those things goes out I will make your car misfire and stutter that’s what my issue was. As for the p0420 code I have the same thing I’ve replaced my catalytic converter and my o2 sensors but this whole time the problem has just been a small exhaust leak

Zenny from United States a month ago
Finally (think) I fixed it: replaced Cat because it was actually broken then replaced spark plugs (several times), then O2 sensors...thought it fixed it but code came back a few months later so I replaced the spark plugs and the engine ignition coil pack last week. So far, it's holding up, but only time will truly tell. It's been a year since I posted this and that's how long I've been working on it (obviously not the ENTIRE time, I pushed it off a bunch after passing SMOG). I wanted to update before I forgot, even though it may take a few months of driving (like last time) to see if it truly is fixed.

ChevyBrat420 from United States 4 months ago
Can't run the air conditioner while driving or the car loses basically all power when having to stop and then started telling me again it takes a minute for to accelerate... Hesitates like crazy sometimes especially when it gets hot if going speeds 45 and up makes a whiny humming constant sound and sometimes when excelling it seems like the tachometer goes up a little too far and it seems like it shifts a little slow. And when going 4550 at sometimes let's talk a burning smell not like oil burning or rubber burning and unexplainable burning smell and the catalytic converter and O2 sensor for both changed about 6 months ago and then check engine light still on for Cadillac converter in my heat up because of excelling it kind of sounds like clicking sound sometimes in a lot of heat coming from under the car and under the hood most of the time can't even pull out the oil dipstick because it's got a lot of suction or it's stuck and it runs really hot from the feel of it and it stays hot after shutting it off for an extremely extremely long time took it to multiple mechanics and garages and everybody had different answers and the valve cover gasket was replaced also like 6 months ago

Please look this up. I also have a 2016 chevy cruze and have been fighting to get something done due to this same issue.

Check engine code: P0299

2015 Chevrolet Cruze Sedan, 1.4 T AT 88000 miles
At a speed above 120 km/h, the check engine light comes on and the horse power of the car decreases. During diagnostics, it appears that the turbo does not work, it puts itself into protection mode. This happens with the P0299 error code. Sensing low air pressure in the turbo. Some masters advise me to change the turbo altogether, some tell me to repair the turbo, and some tell me to change the turbo manifold. Considering that Chevrolet parts are expensive in our country, I want to solve this problem with accurate diagnostics at a low budget. The car has been used in Azerbaijan for 4 years

Este veículo dificilmente dá problema na turbina e mais provável tenha algum vazamento nas mangueiras você deveria primeiro verificar se não tem vazamento de pressão nas mangueira depois verifique se a West gate está vedando também pode ser isso. E depois dessas verificações retire a turbina verifique se o rotor da turbina está ok. Se estiver tudo ok considere trocar a turbina ou recondicionar.

I bought a Holden cruze turbo diesel 2012 6 speed manual transmission (same engine as Chevrolet cruze).
My car shakes back and forth between 1500-2000RPM, sometimes late response or no power when I accelerate, or accelerates alone when I use the accelerator. Code 84, DPF, engine lights flashing

Problem sorted... apparently what can happen is... if you start your car shift it 10 metres and then turn it off and leave it... It can trap fuel in the system and flood it... it will not start unless you put the accelerator to the floor... common problem...

ABS indicator

2010 Chevrolet Cruze 70210 miles
When driving at 50 mph, suddenly the ABS indicator turned on, I turned off the engine and, when starting it again, the indicator was no longer there. One week later, the ABS appeared again. Suspension, brake pads, wheel hubs and drum brakes have been checked but no failure has been found. It was scanned and the failure was indicated to be in the left front ABS sensor, so it was changed but, two days later, the indicator appeared once more. When scanned, the same failure is indicated, so it the left sensor was replaced again and that same day the ABS indicator turned on. I would like to remark that once the indicator appears, I turn off the engine, start it again and it is not there any more. Does anyone have any idea what might be happening?

Two damaged sensors from the same side and in the same tire... that seems to be a failure in the wiring.

You need to re-calibrate the turning sensor to zero, which is done with a scanner gm tech2.

Airbag indicator light comes on

2012 Chevrolet Cruze ECO 78000 miles
The airbag light will come on. I cancel it out by the menu button on the blinker lever but then it will come back on again so I cancel it out again and sometimes when it's real cold out, it won't be on as soon as I start my car but after a while, while I'm driving it will come on and won't go off until I turn it off with the menu button. I'm not a mechanic but I think it could be effecting my remote start cause when it's been sitting in the cold when I'm not driving it or if it's raining real hard in the summer, my remote start won't work on my keyfob.

Rough idle, sluggish acceleration.

2016 Chevrolet Cruze hatchback, 1.4l petrol, z series, automatic 97350 miles
Rough idle at idle, but fine when driving; acceleration feels sluggish; suction when removing the dipstick; slight fuel smell. My theory is either PCV, spark plugs, or coil packs. I've ordered an OBD scanner, but want an opinion.
There's also no check engine light yet

A yellow warning light has appeared on the dashboard of my car with a wrench. I'm trying to turn it off but to no avail. I've tried disconnecting the battery and pressing the accelerator pedal as shown in YouTube but to no avail. I'm running an OBD scan but no error code appears. I don't have an oil gauge when I open the menu on the turn signal knob.
