CarComplaints.com Notes: What’s that smell – it’s a tad sweet with a tinge of chemical toxicity? If you own a 2011 Cruze it’s probably a coolant leak. It’s a widespread and notorious problem for the car and is the subject of a class-action lawsuit filed in the state of New York. And that’s not the only problem 2011 owners face…
Many say the 2011 model year suffers from a throttle lag that is probably due to a fauly electronic throttle control. The problem is signifigant enough that some owners say they are too scared to drive their cars. Those that do get behind the wheel often say their transmission isn’t shifting properly and problems start occuring as early as 15,000 miles.
All of this leads us to say you’re probably better off without this car’s headaches (they’re probably chemically-induced anyway).
This is definitely the last Chevy I will ever buy. I thought it was just my car that had issues with the AC when the car itself got wet, but then I started a new job and found someone with the same complaints as me. For some strange reason, my AC will only blow hot air after it rains or after I wash it. I live in Texas and if anyone knows anything about Texas they would know how harsh summers can be here. It also makes a loud humming noise and displays the outside temp as -40. What's that about??? The sad thing about all of this, is that I actually researched this car...read good and bad reviews and found that there were not many bad things being said. With all of that in mind, I purchased my beautiful car and have had nothing but issues and regrets.
