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 bought this car and everything seemed to be in great working order and after a week in a half the car started to sound like it was on a life support system. I brought it back to the dealership where they mentioned it being the ABS cycle and lubbed it and then it started to progressed in a constant nuisance, brought it back to the dealership. I was told that it is a vacuum pump that goes on too cool the ABS/engine and they had no idea on how to lower the sound, etc. This, was, I thought, a great car. It is a pain in the ass and will have to get use to it because I was told that it is a normal function of the car. UGH... Kill me now, please.
