I took my 2011 Cruze to my nearest Chevy dealer for safety recall 1208 ("engine flambe"). I was charged $2.66. The cashier mumbled something about a fee imposed by the state of Delaware for either recycling or disposal. I always understood that the full cost of a safety recall must to be paid by the manufacturer. I'd like a refund of that $2.66. Other affected owners--(wherever)--should also be reimbursed. If the fee was forced as the result of GM policy, then GM deserves to be fined. 9 am appointment on 25 July 2012. Lewes automall 17861 coastal highway (state route 1) lewes de 19958.

I brought my new car in for a oil change on 5-15-12, they forgot to put the oil cap back on and I had oil everywhere inside my car it was a complete mess, I did not know it was smoking because it was a rainy and foggy night. By the time we parked it we thought it was on fire, my husband checked the oil and it was empty, we got towed back to Chevy of milford to be fixed and cleaned, they said that there was oil in it and only a little came out.[not true] I don't really think the car runs the same after that, it spits and spudders alot. On July 23rd 2012 I bring it back to them for a recall # 12081. And asked them to also check why my car spudders and to check for a slow leak in the back tire. They got back to me later that morning and said, there is nothing wrong with the way it drives, and my tire cant be fixed I would have to buy another for $125 because of where the hole was it could not be patched. I told them no on the tire and took it to a tire place, townfair tire took the screw out of it witch they didn't find [Chevy of milford] and patched it from the inside at N/C. on 7-24-2012. I really don't feel safe in this car anymore after Chevy of milford looked at it twice and came back with 2 lies. I don't even trust that they did the recall for all I know. Where do I go from here? please help, I have 2 small grandchildren I drive around in this car.

Received a recall #12081, we took the car into the local Chevrolet dealer in conway SC for the repairs, about 45 min..when it was completed, I asked the service adviser, hoh it was repaired. He sad it was reworked and modified per Chevrolet specs. Little did I know. There repairs consist of removing most of the shield and leaving the engine and wiring left unprotected to the elements on the roads.all they had to do was cut a access hole in the plate to get to the oil drain plug /honestly it looks like it was done in such a hurry to just save a few dollars. 8 calls later, they all said the same thing, that is how the engineers said to do the repairs. Sorry that all we can do for you, Chevrolet thanks you for your concerns.

I have a 2011 cruz lt. I have noticed a weird smell when using the ac. Only July 9th, 2012 I had a warning that said "turning of ac due to overheat" the car was not overheating. 5 hours later I turned the car on and the check engine light was on and the engine/fan was making a loud noise while running, which sounded like a huge fan. I called onstar they said they located an "engine cooling system problem" to turn off the car and to have it towed to the dealership. Which I did. The dealership said my car was just out of antifreeze and they added more to it. I have looked online I'm not the only person with this problem. What am I supposed to do, just keep antifreeze with me at all times? there must be a leak somewhere for it to be empty.
