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).

Okay..by now, transmission fixed fixed and car runs great for about 1,000 miles. Invoice: "Air conditioning Hours: .70 tech(s): 3018 customer states AC-Heater blower intermittently will not switch modes. Does not blow on floor at all and will not verified concern. performed diagnosis. Found A/C pressure sensor connector corroded due to water intrusion. Removed and replaced connector pigtail and sensor per TSB 2910436." So..having problems with your AC..ask the service writer to check out this technical safety bulletin.
Maybe..this fixed my heater problem. Although I still have the problem that the AC doesn't really get cold and takes up to 10 seconds sometime to kick on after I turn it on. But, according to the invoice my AC blower is fixed. Also, we had been in a drought, little rain, in January 2013 so water intrusion had to be some haywire backup within the car.
