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).
This car has nickel and dimed me since I purchased it from its original owner. the 2011 Cruze has so many issues I have to individually go in and do several complaints...
The dealerships are completely useless (we've tried 3) and just throw parts at it without trying to properly diagnose the problems.
this issue with the coolant tank is crazy since the car overheated one fairly mild summer day while I was running the AC. I had my infant son in the back seat. Didn't know to believe the sensors (there are also sensor issues) and the thermostat and temp gage have both been replaced on this vehicle several times with constant issues...
I am glad I decided to listen and bring it back home and get it fixed. This is the straw that breaks the camels back. Getting a new vehicle.
