Faulty thermostat. Fan starts running shortly after driving, temperature gauge does not register a temperature, coolant good, radiator good, oil good. Short distance later, receive a message "a/c off due to high engine temp". Called my dealership and they informed me that they replace thermostats in Cruze vehicles all of the time due to this problem.
I could smell coolant/antifreeze when the heater was on and the temperature was set to a high setting. I didn't think anything was wrong, just thought it might be a break-in issue. As of today's date Nov 9, 2014 I still can smell the coolant smell when the heater is on. Recently I received a letter from gm concerning possible coolant loss. At my last service of the vehicle I asked the dealer to check for this problem. Nothing was reported to me from the dealer. I assumed that there was no problem. The other issue I have noticed is dash lights dimming or brightening on their own. The latest problem was that the car would not start this morning. Drove perfectly yesterday, this morning dead. Jumped the car and everything seems fine. Making an appointment with the dealer. Noticed that the coolant level is about 3 inches low in over flow tank. Looked on the internet about Cruze cars and found many posts about electrical problems. Gm tells them all that they are not aware of any electrical problems but you tube videos show gauges and radios cutting out when driving. Some videos describe cars shutting down when driving and not restarting. Others have service messages appearing on the information screen and the dealers find nothing wrong. It is starting to sound like the infamous Jeep grand cherokee electrical problems. I am seriously thinking it is time to get rid of my 2013 cruse as the factory warranty will expire soon. Current mileage is 27490 on Nov 9, 2014.
