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).

My complaint is the side airbag. My 12 year daughter and myself were in a T-bone type accident when another car ran a stop sign. $9000 damage to my 2011 Cruze and the airbags did not deploy on the side.she was injured in the accident I feel due to the airbags not deploying. I have called GM and the will investigate but act as if its no big deal...it is a big deal.
