Cruze LT 3.2L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 98,000 miles

I have been informing Mike Anderson Chevrolet of issues with my cooling system ever since my warranty. Now that my car is not warranted anymore they are finding all of these things that cost a lot of money. I feel as though the problem was there all along because I kept complaining about it and they kept telling me everything was fine.

Cruze LX 1.5L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 12,344 miles

Just found this. The leak is not bad yet but my wife is taking it to the dealership tomorrow. It looks like it is leaking from under the pulley system around the engine block. God I hope it is not the engine. It's a nice car but I have friends whose Cruze are doing similar things. Did Chevy research the build specs at all before assembling these cars?
