Description of the problem	2012 chevy cruze purchased in august 2012. Has coolant smell when heat is on (any setting). Temperature would drop and start blowing out cold air when heat was turned on. Checked coolant level and was a little low. Filled it up and the smell was even stronger. Engine fan constantly runs. Working on getting it to the dealership but unable to get a loaner car so i can go to work. Cannot take time off of work to take it to the dealership, so i am in a "catch 22". Read numerous reports of the same thing happening to other people.
