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).

Not long after receiving the 2011 Cruze, the bluetooth already has a mind of its own. I have 2 phones paired to it and its always losing at least 1 phone. if you go to the device list both phones are still in the system. the next problem is when I speak bluetooth and then speak voice to access my phone book in my samsung my voice commands to call a contact, the system cannot find a single contact in my phone book. From reading other complaints online, there seems to be a lot of dissatisfied bluetooth users with the 2011 Cruze!
