Sacrificing virgins, women, and children didn't work for the Mayan's either. Least the National Geographic society found another Mayan calendar that extends that one they did find another 7,000 years. So we shouldn't have to worry about 12/21/2012.

Pulling a fuse on these things is tantamount to removing a flashcard from your camera. Cruze also uses flashram and those error codes are still there, need generation III at your dealers to read those codes. Does have an electronically controlled thermostat, can only guess what the problem is.

My 2012 2LT came from the factory with the Dexcool anti-freeze at the full mark on the reservoir. After driving it for several weeks, observed the coolant was only about 3/4" high from the bottom or the reservoir. Thought about taking it back to the dealer, but since I have Dexcool, just topped it off. That was like 11 months ago, since then it stayed right at the full mark.

These radiator capless vehicles do present a problem, the pressure cap on my reservior came from the factory, loose that may have been the problem with my coolant loss. Or air bubbles in the system. When draining and refilling, can only fill at the reservoir, have to drive it for awhile and watch your temperature gauge. Then top off the reservoir again.

Life would be so much easier if they kept that radiator cap, something you have to learn to live with.

With that translucent reservoir and dark red Dexcool, just takes a glance to check it.

Would have been helpful if the OP specified the year and model of his Cruze, length of ownership and the miliage.
