Rear shocks replaced....208000 on the originals...no complaints there....rear tires showed some inner chopping upon inspection the week before while doing an oil change and tire rotation. Parts totaled to about $200 delivered from Rock Auto. Pretty straight forward maintenance repairs. |

RF wheel speed sensor failed. When tech pulled the assembly apart, the top of the sensor was sheered off. Suspect that something had failed inside bearing assembly. Ordered bearing assembly. Upon removal, the spacer between the end of the CV shaft had self-destructed, sheered the wheel speed sensor and sent shrapnel into the inboard section of the wheel bearing. Replaced. |
| 40000 mi US $40 |
Sway bar links replaced |
| 24000 mi | Steering sticks on center at freeway speeds Steering gear was replaced to resolve earlier problem |
| 36300 mi | Strut mount failure, resulting in a "clunky" or "rattle" type sound over bumps. |
| 31600 mi | Had the Cruze "sticky steering" problem. When correcting at freeway speeds, steering feels like it sticks briefly and then feels normal. |
