Consumer Description
I'VE OWNED MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE FOR 4 YEARS AND I HAVE HAD ON-GOING ISSUES WITH A VERY DISTINCT SMOKE/COOLANT SMELL COMING FROM THE ENGINE. IT IS MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN THE HEAT IS ON. IN DOING RESEARCH, THIS IS A WELL-KNOWN ISSUE. I'VE TAKEN MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP ON THREE SEPERATE OCCASIONS AND THEY CANNOT FIX THE ISSUE - IT KEEPS COMING BACK. I REACHED OUT TO CHEVY TO FILE A COMPLAINT BUT I AM NOT GETTING HELP FROM THEM. THE ODOR THAT IS COMING FROM THE CAR IS SO BAD THAT I HAVE TO ROLL DOWN MY WINDOWS IN THE WINTER. IT IS EITHER NO HEAT, OR HEAT AND WINDOWS DOWN. I KNOW CHEVY IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE - IT IS ALL OVER THE INTERNET - HOWEVER, THEY ARE NOT DOING THEIR PART TO FIX THE ISSUE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY HEALTH - WHATEVER I AM INHALING IS NOT HEALTHY. IT GIVES ME HEADACHES AND MAKES ME FEEL ILL. PLEASE HELP.
