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).
It's cold...and I have NO HEAT AGAIN! My new car, which I was so proud of, has become a royal pain! I would really like to get some answers as to why this is happening and have it fixed. Thinking that I need to look up that Lemon Law in Ohio, this may qualify!!
Update from May 26, 2011: OK, so they reprogrammed the E.C.M/T.C.M and send me on my way. It works for a whopping 5 miles and then is stuck again! I turn around and deliver my car right back to the dealer. Now they are replacing the thermostat. I am hoping that this is the last of my thermostat problems!
