2015 Chevrolet Orlando problems

Common 2015 Chevrolet Orlando problems

The Chevrolet Orlando 2015 has been known to have several common problems based on complaints from its owners. One of the most frequently reported issues is with the fuel level indicator or sensor, which sometimes malfunctions, showing incorrect readings or even resetting to zero despite the presence of gasoline in the tank

Another common problem is with the clutch pedal, which can fail due to issues with the clutch hydraulic drive, leading to problems with the clutch return spring

. The clutch usually lasts over 150,000 kilometers, but this issue can occur earlier.

The automatic transmission in the Chevrolet Orlando 2015 has also been known to have issues, with some owners reporting jerks during shifts, particularly during the first three gears and after stopping

. While dealers have shrugged off this issue, some service centers have offered firmware updates to smooth out the transmission's operation.

After 70,000 to 120,000 kilometers, the semi-axle oil seals can become scorched, leading to a noisy operation of the suspension

. Extraneous sounds from the rear can be caused by the rattling of the plastic boot of the shock absorber, and the calipers can sometimes make their contribution, particularly the front ones

Shock absorbers usually last over 100,000 kilometers, but the silent blocks of the front levers and the rear beam can go around the same amount of time

. After 80,000 to 120,000 kilometers, the parking brake cables can sometimes turn sour

The paintwork of the Chevrolet Orlando body is not very durable, with chips soon appearing, and chrome not resisting external influences for long

. The radiator lining and the bar on the tailgate can swell, and the button to open the fifth door can fail

. There can also be fogging of the front and rear optics with frequent folding and unfolding of the side mirrors, which can become freely oriented due to deformation of the soft lock washer and the latch popping out

Drips from the ceiling light in winter are not uncommon, due to the formation of condensate in the space between the roof and the upholstery of the ceiling

. This issue is common to many modern cars and is treated by gluing the roof with heat and noise insulating material.

The interior plastic of the Chevrolet Orlando can scratch easily and start to creak after a while, and knocking in the rear of the cabin may occur due to the loosening of the spare wheel

. Some Orlando owners have noted a glitch of the air conditioning system, with the air recirculation damper stuck in the closed position, leading to climate freezes

The timing drive belt needs to be changed after 150,000 kilometers or 10 years, and the oil pressure sensor can leak, giving a signal about a pressure drop in the lubrication system

. A couple of cases of spontaneous combustion in the engine compartment have been recorded, presumably due to the etching sensor becoming the culprit of the incident

After 100 to 150,000 kilometers, the heat exchanger gaskets can fail, leading to oil entering the cooling system or being squeezed out

. The owners have also had to change the failed ignition module, and the engine speed can behave unusually during warm-up, floating and not falling evenly

After 100 to 150,000 kilometers, plastic heater dampers can break, requiring repair, and the front panel must be completely removed to get to the heater

. The heated driver's seat can also fail after a hundred thousand kilometers, and the wiper leash on the driver's side can stop moving due to a broken hinge joint
