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).
The first two years my car had check engines issues and tons of thing fixed and replaced. After a year they finally fixed the check engine issue. Now I bring it in for all the recalls and one week later check engine light on. Bring to the dealership who say it was the gas cap and fixed it. Two days later the car won't start and the service theft light is on. A mechanic at the super market plugs in computer and comes up leak in gas cap and now check engine light back on. Why can't they ever fix this car and why does GM just not care.
