Same fan issue
Just purchased a Chevrolet Cruze 2012 w/ 60K miles on it this weekend. As soon as we were pulling off the lot we noticed the check engine light came on and the fan was running non-stop and loudly. Took it to an AutoZone and received (2) different error codes, both referring to the thermostat. Took it to the dealer this morning and am waiting to see what the issue is. I believe it should be covered by the dealership as we brought it to the salesman's attention before leaving. Hopefully it's a easy fix. This is my first Chevrolet and was looking to avoid these types of situations. I will update when I hear from the dealership

Same problems!
I am also having the same problems; my started a couple of days a go with my fan running all the time, then this morning my engine light came on. Went and had the code checked and it was a P0597- Thermostat Heater Control Circuit. I know my car is not under warranty any more and I don't have the money to fix it....I do how ever see many people have the same problem so what is done now?

Hello Amber I am having this same issue with my car, I just bought the car used from Ray in IL. But I took the car in with the check engine light that randomly came on, the dealership told me that the code is P00B3. They told me that the code means radiator coolant temperature sensor circuit low. They wouldn't explain this to me, just said it's a sensor and is needs to be replaced. Now I just bought the car about 4 months ago with no check engine light on, and they told me that they can NOT cover the issue under warranty. This frustrates me because the dealership told me the car is under warranty for 100k miles. Seemed like a high selling point to me when I got the car. Anyways my fan runs all the time and the temperature on the dash reads fine, doesn't seem to not be working. Still the same from when I bought it. The dealership told me it's a $300 charge to fix the issue. This is ridiculous. For a sensor. Please help!
Thanks!!

2012 Chevy Cruze...same fan issue!
Glad to have found this forum and hope a GM rep can assist me as well. My girlfriend has a 2012 Chevy Cruze and it just hit 50,000 miles. Check engine light is on and the fan is doing the high speed running at all times, as soon as you start the car until you shut it off. Took it to Autozone and they ran a check and said it is "probably the thermostat". My girlfriend then took it to the dealer, and they said they wanted $70-$100 just to look at it. It sounds as though this is a VERY COMMON issue with this car, and it also sounds like the issues seem to be covered under the 100,000 mile Powertrain Warranty. I don't feel we should be charged for a diagnostic when it is such a common issue that should be covered.

One issue fixed, now another
I was getting the error code that everyone else was. I found a thermostat online ($30) and took about 10 minutes to replace it. The error code is now gone and no check engine light. However, the fan does not come on and sometimes the engine will start to run hot. I replaced both coolant temperature sensors but still have the same problem. How can I check to see if it's the fan or one of the relays/fuses? The fan was running all the time but suddenly stopped running at all.
