I had to have the injector replaced and they said I also have to replaced the valve spring cover. The mechanic said this is a known issue with chevy Cruze and that GM knows of the issue, but refuses to issue a recall. In just my area, one dealership has sold 300 injectors and valve spring covers recently. I do not have several thousand dollars to fix a problem that GM is aware of. …”
