Common problems and easy repairs on a 2011 Cruze

The 2011 Chevrolet Cruze LT is easy to maintain. No tools will be necessary to disengage the glove box for access to the cabin air filter, allowing for reliable filter changes. Reaching the interior fuses won’t be a problem, either, as they are easily accessible behind a cover below the steering wheel. Connecting an OBD scanner will also be easy on account of the unobstructed access to the plug.

However, the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze LT has its share of pain points. A reservoir neck will need to be removed for access to any of the headlights on the driver side, which won’t allow for more reliable bulb changes. Accessing the oil filter may be a problem on account of the cramped reach you’ll need to make for it. The petcock is also hard to reach, as you’ll need to remove a large panel from underneath the vehicle to access it.
