2015 Chevrolet CRUZE Engine Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1252763
Internal NHTSA #	10819541

Brand	CHEVROLET
Model	CRUZE
Model Year	2015
File date	01/04/14
Component	ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Cruze has coolant odor outside car and has loss of coolant at every oil change. Dealer does not write this down on service records. This is similar problem as 2012 cruze eco i had to trade in because gm/dealer could not fix the problem of antifreeze loss. Under some conditions coolant temperature gets up to 236 deg f before radiator fan comes on and this gets worse in winter. This high temperature seems to align with problem but the analog gauge stops at about 3/8 and will not go further even when digital temperature registers 190deg f or 240 deg f. ( they said gauge is designed this way) gm and dealer say system is working as designed but haven't explained fan operation or why temperature gets to 236 deg f when normal temperature is 221 deg f. They cannot explain odor or loss of coolant. This could be problem in any chevy cruze eco and if driver does not watch coolant level the car could overheat.
