2011 Chevrolet Cruze fuel system complaints
Page 3 of 3: complaints 41 to 43 of 43, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving a 2011 cruze eco with approximately 11,000 miles the car caught fire. The car was last serviced by the deal approximately 4,000 miles ago (3 months). The car was 30 miles into a 43 mile trip when it caught fire, and prior to the incident there were no warning signs of any problems with the vehicle. The only indication of a problem was slight smoke coming from the engine bay, and then as soon as the car was stopped a flame came out between the hood and the cowl area. The car was totally engulfed within 5 minutes of stopping, and it was only after the first sign of fire was visible that the warning light on the dash boar illuminated. The car is a total loss, and chevrolet has stated they will have someone contact me in 7 to 10 days to discuss the incident. From research online it appears this is not an isolated incident, and I am concerned as I was never warned via a technical bulletin or recall of any potential issue with this vehicle. Chevrolet has not seemed to be very concerned over this issue thus far, but I am pushing for action from chevrolet.
