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 haven't even made the first payment on my new car. I noticed the windshield was fogging up on the inside and then the warning light went off. Low coolant , idle engine. Then warning No coolant - turn engine off. On Star diagnostic showed no coolant and would have to be towed. I was stranded in a parking lot and had to have road-side assistance tow the car to the dealership. Then the part was ordered from the United States because there are no parts in Canada. Overnight FedEx and the dealership is hoping that it is here on Monday. Peeved right off!
