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).

2011 Chevrolet Cruze Owner Comments

problem #1

Cruze 1LT 1.4L

  • Manual transmission
  • 2,500 miles

When a person 150 pounds or less in the passenger seat the air bag will show off with a person in the seat.. I have only owned the car 2 months and the car has been at the dealer trying to see why when I sit in the passenger set the air bag does not go to ON. The car has been at the dealer for a total of 25 day's of the 2 months I have had it to try and figure out the problem. Now they are saying I do not sit in the seat correctly, though in any of the loaner cars the dealer gives me the air bag light works just fine. I am scared to even sit in the passenger seat because I am not sure if the air bag will work.
