Common problems and easy repairs on a 2014 Cruze

The 2014 Chevrolet Cruze LS is a somewhat easy vehicle to maintain. The easy access to the battery terminals and the bracket will make for reliable jumpstarts and battery replacements. Monitoring the brake fluid fluid won’t be a problem on account of the unobstructed access to the reservoir. The fuse boxes are quick to reach, and the one in the engine conveniently comes provided with a fuse puller.

However, the 2014 Chevrolet Cruze LS has quite a few complicated procedures. Connecting your phone via Bluetooth may be a problem on account of the non-descriptive menu, separated controls, and necessary voice activation. Multiple tools will be needed to access any of the tail lights, which won’t allow for reliable bulb changes. This vehicle also lacks a dipstick for the transmission fluid, which will make it very difficult to monitor the fluid level.
