As long as the engine is operating, you're OK, because that transmission only has a "front" hydraulic pump, meaning fluid is only moving when the input shaft from the engine is turning, turning that pump. Shut off the engine and the pump stops, stopping hydraulic flow within the transmission...and simultaneously stopping both lubrication and cooling.

We HAD a 2011 Cruze...but got rid of it.
