Chevy Problems
This is going to be very long and I apologize but so much has happened I’m gonna try to simplify as much as possible. Any advice would be great!
I have a 2012 Chevy Cruz, I bought it in April this is my first car, I know nothing about cars. everything was fine until I got an oil change things started happening. They told me my oil cap was broken, so I replaced it, as a result some oil had been sprayed. Then things were fine and about a week later “stabili track” would flash on my screen and my car would completely stop and turn off, the doors would lock, my car would be okay to turn on about a minute later and start driving again. I brought it to the shop, they said there was nothing wrong with it. I drove it off the lot, then the second I stopped the car white smoke started coming out from under my hood and liquid came out from the bottom of my car. I brought it to the same shop and my coolant hose had broken, and I needed a new thermostat, those two things were replaced, I drove it off the lot things were okay for a bit until it seemed like my engine was overheating, it would pop up something on my screen around the lines of the engine was overheating so the ac would shut off, then I got a check engine light. Brought it back to the same shop, they put a defective thermostat in so they replaced it, I drove it off the lot and the stabili track started popping on my screen again, it looked like the inside was smoking, but I think this was from oil residue, and after a few hours of the car being off the engine still felt hot. My boyfriend’s mom had tried to start the car 4 times, it wouldn’t make a clicking sound when she turned it. I just brought it to a different shop, they said they drove it around and nothing happened and that there was no problem besides a possible miscommunication. My mom thinks it could possible be something with the key. I’m honestly not sure what it could be at this point, there is obviously a problem, if anyone has advice on what to do with it or what it possibly could be, thank you for your time sorry this was so long.
