I have a 2014 Cruze myself and it's at 86k. Turbo and oil cooler need replaced already no thanks to GM forgetting to take out the plug for the oil like that goes to turbo from oil cooler.

Me Too I have a 2012 Cruze LTZ RS and Love it. My Custom Tag says US MADE The only Way tp roll.

@@Kinseydsp fuck yeah! Go us 🙌🏻 😋

Japanese cars also support American jobs, while being made with way more quality than American cars, except Mazda which is actually made in Japan and then shipped over. A lot of American cars are actually made in Mexico and Canada. The ones made in Mexico usually have the worst quality. Ones made in Canada are better quality than America and cars made in Japan are the highest quality in the world!

And you must not have owned your cruze for long because they are full of problems!

My daughter has a '12 Cruze as well.

Most chevy cruzes are nothing but problems. You are lucky.

@@koreymayo8884 thanks God for it. Yes I've been very lucky an still running strong 💪 no complaints

Most chevy cruzes are nothing bit problems. You are lucky.

@@koreymayo8884 In the three years since I posted that we still had no problems. Gen2 cars are totally different than Gen1.

@@DanPellegrino486 what about all the piston failures on gen 2?

@@koreymayo8884didn't happen to us. You sound very negitive. Good luck with everything. Bye!

@@DanPellegrino486 I'm not negative I'm just realistic! I'm very aware of all the problems GM has in the past roughly 15 years! They used to be really good before that! They are total garbage now! The GM vehicles me and my family have owned from 2003 and older were great 2011 and newer nothing but problems and its the same for most people if you do some research! You just got lucky or you don't have many miles yet.

A car company is gonna make more supply then what they currently sell, so they aren't on back order. Its also possible they make more than Chevy Cruzes, and they just focused on that Also this video is from mid-2016, so you'd have to compare to how they sold that year

Also... the Lordstown Plant made vehicles for both the US and Canada, and elsewhere, I believe.

They also made cars for export, and fleet vehicles won’t show up in the public buying sales figures.

I know right?????

Spacecowboy S UAW folks. Most wear what they want. Some look sloppy.

The malibu is the worst car chevy makes! Nothing but problems especially 2008 til now. The really old ones weren't too bad.

Someone was wearing gloves lol, idk, I didn't see anything that required any PPE going on.

GM vehicles have very poor build quality, very unreliable. Just look at the consumer reports. The 2020 Silverado only scored 16 out of 100. Chevy Cruze only scored 13 out of 100

Can you elaborate more on DEXKILL?

Absolutely. First of all, I have been a professional mechanic for a large city fleet services department for 37 years, and have seen plenty of engines damaged/destroyed by this stuff. GM calls it DEXCOOL, and they use it as a coolant. Now, it is not unusual these days for all automakers to have their own special coolant. Though I have never seen anything that worked better than good old green ethylene glycol. Virtually all these different brands of coolant are mostly ethylene glycol anyway. And I have never seen or even heard of any problems with any of them. With the sole exception of DEXCOOL. DEXCOOL starts out as a liquid, but turns into a solid inside the engine. It becomes a brown, gooey, waxy substance which plugs up all the coolant passages in the cooling system. I have seen engines where the water jackets around the cylinders were almost completely plugged with it. There is no know way to remove it. Nothing known will dissolve it, so it can't be flushed out. Apparently this stuff was not designed to be exposed to air. But that makes it worthless as a coolant. All coolant is exposed to air, not only when you put it in, but on a daily basis. When coolant expands inside the cooling system, the excess gets pushed into the reservoir, which contains air (the "empty" space above the coolant below the top of the reservoir is air). When the engine cools down, air is sucked back through the reservoir pressure cap, so the liquid coolant can get sucked back into the engine. (the cooling system is under pressure when the engine is hot, then it is under a vacuum as it cools down. Coolant expands and gets pushed out, then contracts and gets sucked back in when it cools off. So it is constantly exposed to air. This is what causes DEXCOOL to solidify inside the cooling system. It can be difficult to find leaks with this stuff, because it immediately solidifies on contact with air. I have seen huge globs of this stuff on a surface below a leak, but no liquid. It's possible they intended this stuff to act as a stop leak. But it didn't work. And GM knows it. They continue to use it anyway. It has been used in all GM vehicles since 1996 to the present. Mechanics call it DEXKILL or DEATHCOOL because of what it does to engines. If you have a 1996 or newer GM engine, I strongly recommend flushing out all the liquid DEXKILL that might still be in there, and replacing it with Prestone OAT formula. ON older engines it is likely too late. I was able to save the engine in a 2013 Chevy Sonic about a year ago. I spent about a week flushing out the DEXKILL with distilled water, and replaced it with Prestone. Some damage had already been done. I had to replace the water pump, thermostat, water outlet assembly, and a couple of sensors that had been coated in solidified DEXKILL so they no longer worked. This is some BAD stuff. Back in the early 2000s, there was a class action lawsuit filed against GM by tens of thousands of GM vehicle owners whose vehicles had been damaged by this stuff. They won, but then GM declared bankruptcy, and nobody ever got paid. And GM went right on using it.

I appreciate the thorough explanation! I wonder if my 2018 Cruze has DEXCOOL in it or not, but I will definitely check now after reading your explanation and watching a few youtube videos. Thanks again!

Yes, your 2018 Cruze has DEXKILL in it. It will be red. Just look in the coolant reservoir. I was able to save my bought used 3 year old Sonic 1.4 turbo by flushing all the DEXKILL out of it. It took awhile. You can't drain out everything out. I drained out a gallon, then replaced it with a gallon of distilled water. Ran the engine long enough to mix the water with the remaining DEXKILL. I just kept doing this, about 20 times over about a week, until I was sure there was nothing in the engine but distilled water. I then got a gallon of Prestone OAT concentrate (designed to be mixed 50/50 with distilled water) and poured it into the system, along with the 3 qts of distilled water that were already in the engine. A little more than 50/50, but it worked fine. I'm going to drain out a gallon every year, and replace it with a 50/50 mix of fresh coolant and distilled water. That should keep it clean forever. In your situation, with a car still under warranty, you might want to drain out a gallon of DEXKILL every 6 months and put in more DEXKILL, until the warranty expires. I've heard of warranty claims being denied because a vehicle did not have DEXKILL in it, even if the problem had nothing to do with the cooling system. Prestone OAT is recommended for ALL GM vehicles, including new ones. But if a dealer can find a way out of doing a warranty repair, they usually will.

I have a 15 year old GM vehicle. I've owned it for over 13 years and 130,000 miles. It has always had Dexcool in it. Never had a problem. I do a drain and fill every 2 years.
