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).
Driving on the tollway and AC would not cool. Had to run on high fan setting to keep cool. Outside temperature was 95. Definitely does not cool as well as my spouses car which is a 2003 Impala.
At first when I accelerated the air conditioning fan would die. They finally fixed that with a computer reset or update. However, when I accelerate or drive up hills the cold air turns significantly warmer. As soon as I take my foot off the gas or top the hill it blows chilly air again. Mechanics say they cannot duplicate. They say some drop in temp is normal, but this has never happened on any other car I have driven. I live in the mountains so this is really a problem on hot days! Getting very frustrated with this!
