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).
Air bag light shows off when I am in the passenger seat. I took it in to the dealership 3 times for repair before giving up. The first time, I was told they didn't have time to look at it right then and told me to bring it back a few days later. I took it back and about an hour later, they told me it wasn't "throwing any codes" so there was nothing they could do. He even attempted to tell me that I just don't weigh enough to set it off. I am not going to post my weight, but I am by NO means at all what one would call "petite". I like my cheeseburgers! After stating this in the GM survey I got in my e-mail, the service manager himself called me and scheduled for me to bring my car in. After having my car for over a week, they replaced the airbag itself. The problem continues.
