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).

Dash lights flash off and on and sometimes the service stabilitrack light comes on and sometimes service traction control comes on. It also seems to lock steering at slow speeds and the radio goes off and on. I have had it to the dealer and they said it was the body control module. I replaced it at a cost of 720.00 and it worked for a month and it started all over again. I was told the alternator was over charging. I replaced it at a cost of 300.00 and it didn't change it.
