NHTSA Complaint #10837274 — 2011 CHEVROLET CRUZE

I FIRST TOOK MY CRUZE TO THE DEALER BECAUSE OF LEAKING TRANSMISSION FLUID FROM A DEFECTIVE SEAL ON THE TRANSMISSION BOX. THEY ALSO SAID THE BATTERY WAS CRACKED. TRANSMISSION WAS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT I HAD TO BUY A NEW BATTERY. REALLY? AFTER THAT WORK BEING DONE, I NOTICED THE SMELL OF ANTI FREEZE. DEALER SAID A HOSE WAS SPLIT, BUT WHEN I ASKED TO SEE THE HOSE, THEY SAID THE END BROKE OFF WHEN THEY WERE REPLACING A CLIP BLAMED ON THE ANTI FREEZE LEAK. I HAD TO BUY A NEW HOSE. SAID THEY CHECKED THE SYSTEM FOR LEAKS AND THERE WEREN'T ANY. THE CAR STOPPED LEAKING FOR A WHILE, BUT NOW I HAVE PUDDLES OF ANTI FREEZE ON THE GARAGE FLOOR AND A NAUSEATING SMELL AROUND THE CAR. I AM GOING TO GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALER FOR A SECOND OPINION, BUT I FEAR I HAVE A REAL PROBLEM AND FROM WHAT I'VE READ IT IS COMMON WITH THIS CAR AND GM HASN'T DONE MUCH TO HELP THE CONSUMER. I BELIEVED IN BUYING AMERICAN, BUT IT WON'T BE ANOTHER CHEVY.
