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).
Chevrolet Cruze is the worst car with the transmission. I have one in India and now one in Canada. I am selling both cars and don't ever want to buy any car from Chevrolet. So many complaints on each and every portal regarding the same transmission issue but company has shown so much of professionalism by not contacting the customers. They should be banned from the world.
when backing out of my driveway I start to go forward and when I go 70-80 ft. there is a bang that sounds as if something is breaking lose or shifting.
I have had this problem since 2 weeks after purchasing the car. I have taken the car back multiple times and they keep saying they can't duplicate the problem. It is so loud it actually scared my son one morning on the way to school, he thought I had hit something. My IPod won't load half the time, there is cracks and static in my speakers (Pioneer), the temperature reading is always 20 degrees off (yes it's on Fahrenheit) and now the doors are locked and won't unlock. The dealership has ordered a relay to fix that. At least one things getting fixed. I have always been a Chevrolet girl, but this car might change my mind.
