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).
I drove to central Illinois, 300+ miles, and back home at a speed of approximately 70mph there and back and when we got off the expressway our mileage was 29.6mpg and the average speed was 31 mph. I cannot believe the computer is working properly. I am getting no satisfaction from my dealer. I am not sure if it has to be reset somehow, if so, someone please tell me. Thank-you
Update from Oct 21, 2011: I found out that the mpg, had to be reset after the car has completed the trip. So, now I know that this has to be done after each trip.
