Description of the problem	My 2014 chevrolet cruze started losing power upon acceleration. A few days later, the engine diagnostic light came on. I knew something was wrong when i couldn't keep it running in my driveway to clear the ice from the windows. Finally, i was able to drive it to our mechanic. When he ran the codes, his computer showed two sensors and the alternator needed replacing. Over $700. 00 later, the problem still wasn't fixed. I was afraid to drive my car, fearing the lack of power and bogging would cause me to stall in traffic, thus increasing the likelihood of causing an accident. It is burning gas and bogging upon acceleration and / or while idling. Sometimes, it is difficult to start. The diagnostic light is still on. Today, my mechanic identified the problem. The check valve in the intake manifold has stopped sealing and has disappeared. Where did it go? Inside the engine? I ask. It will need a new vent tube, a new intake manifold with the check valve intact, and a new valve cover which has to be replaced due to a little diaphragm which can't be replaced by itself. Another poor design. This car only has 47,967 miles as of 2-05-2019. I bought this car for the good gas mileage, which has been greatly reduced at this time. Gm needs to correct these problems since this issue has been caused by a faulty design of the intake manifold. Please investigate this issue as nhtsa has a bulletin number (11170978) identifying the same problem with the cruze in other states. As a senior on a fixed income, it would be greatly appreciated that this problem is corrected as soon as possible. Thank you.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
