Consumer Description

ONCE AGAIN MY CAR HAS AN ENGINE COOLING PROBLEM. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME THIS HAPPENED, THE FIRST WAS ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AND THE FAN WAS MAKING A LOUD NOISE, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ONE I CALLED ONSTAR ASAP THEY VERIFIED I WAS CORRECT AND SENT A TOW TRUCK TO PICK UP MY CAR. I SMELL ANTIFREEZE ALL THE TIME IN THE CAR AND THEY ANTIFREEZE JUST DISAPPEARS THE DEALERSHIP DOES NOT KNOW WHERE IT'S GOING. I'M SERIOUSLY THINKING ABOUT TRADING IN MY CRUZE BECAUSE OF THESE PROBLEMS, WHICH NEVER GET FIXED. *TR
