Chevrolet Cruze: Engine Light, Power Loss, and Transmission Issues

I'm experiencing several issues with my Chevrolet Cruze. The check engine light is on, the engine is unsteady, and there's a noticeable loss of engine power. Additionally, the transmission seems to be slipping and shifting erratically. I've noticed that I can drive for a while until the engine heats up, then when I press the accelerator, it feels like I'm braking and the engine revs high. After turning off and restarting the car, it feels like it's stuck in a high gear. Has anyone else experienced these issues and can provide some insight or solutions?

Summary of the thread

The Chevrolet Cruze is experiencing multiple issues, including an illuminated check engine light, unsteady engine performance, power loss, and erratic transmission behavior. These problems may be caused by low or dirty engine oil, inadequate transmission fluid, or other underlying issues. Suggested solutions include checking and possibly replacing the engine oil and transmission fluid, and scanning for diagnostic trouble codes to identify specific problems.

Start by checking the engine oil level and condition, as low or dirty oil can cause engine performance issues. Also, inspect the transmission fluid level and condition, as this can affect shifting and cause slipping. If both fluids are fine, consider scanning for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) to pinpoint specific issues. Let us know what you find or if you have any further questions!
