I have a 2011 cruz lt. I have noticed a weird smell when using the ac. Only July 9th, 2012 I had a warning that said "turning of ac due to overheat" the car was not overheating. 5 hours later I turned the car on and the check engine light was on and the engine/fan was making a loud noise while running, which sounded like a huge fan. I called onstar they said they located an "engine cooling system problem" to turn off the car and to have it towed to the dealership. Which I did. The dealership said my car was just out of antifreeze and they added more to it. I have looked online I'm not the only person with this problem. What am I supposed to do, just keep antifreeze with me at all times? there must be a leak somewhere for it to be empty.

Coolant smell in cabin. Been back to dealer approx. 5 times, replaced a coolant hose, thermostat housing, and now told by dealer there is no fix. There is a fix, put a new engine in, it's already been out for a leaking rear main seal. Sixteen months and 17,000 miles of old car smell in a new car, tired of it.
