Known issues to check on a 2017 Chevrolet Cruze
- 1.4L Turbo Cooling-System and PCV/Oil Leaks (2011–2019)
The 1.4L turbo engine family is known for coolant leaks (water pump, thermostat housing, coolant outlet and hoses) and for PCV-system and valve-cover problems that cause oil leaks, a whistle at idle or lean codes, especially on first-generation cars. GM service information addresses PCV-related conditions on these engines.
What to do: Check coolant and look for oil or coolant residue; documented cooling-system or valve-cover repairs are a plus. - Diesel Emissions Equipment and Maintenance (2014–2019)
Cruze diesels (2.0L in 2014-2015, 1.6L in 2017-2019) use a diesel particulate filter and diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). Short-trip driving, skipped maintenance or DEF/sensor faults can trigger warnings, reduced power or costly repairs. Diesel parts and repair expertise can be harder to find for this low-volume model.
What to do: Scan for emissions codes and review service records before buying a Cruze diesel. - Cruze Generation, Cruze Limited and Engine Disambiguation (2011–2019)
The 2016 model year includes both the redesigned second-generation Cruze and the first-generation Cruze Limited. Engines vary: 1.8L (2011-2016), 138-hp 1.4L turbo (2011-2016), 153-hp 1.4L turbo (2016-2019), and diesels in 2014-2015 and 2017-2019.
What to do: Confirm generation, engine and transmission by VIN before comparing prices or specs.
Recall applicability varies by model year, production date, engine, transmission and VIN. Check the VIN for current open recalls and completed remedies.
