Asked by Adam Jan 10, 2019 at 08:48 PM about the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze LTZ Sedan FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Have a 2011 cruze ltz rs 1.4 turbo. If driven hard there is a
burning smell, like plastic or burnt wiring smell. Only does it
if driven hard and goes away soon after parked. It's not a
burning oil smell or burning antifreeze smell.
