What owners wrote
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.
Check engine light shows up on dashboard, loud noise as though engine revving up, warning notification, a.c. Not working overheating. Car was in driving mode on city street
