CarComplaints.com Notes: In many ways, the 2012 Cruze continues the legacy of its predecessor. It's a legacy of sluggish transmissions and coolant leaks, but it's still a legacy.

To be fair, the number of complaints about the cooling system are way down versus the 2011 model which led to a class-action lawsuit.

On the flip-side, there's more concerns about brake problems.

However, there were far more Cruze vehicles sold for the 2012 model year so we'll give it our "Beware of this Clunker" badge rather than the "Avoid Like the Plague."

problem #2

Cruze LS 1.8L

  • Automatic transmission
  • 95,000 miles

Definitely annoying considering there is no trunk release in the car. I would have to turn the car off and hit the trunk release on the key, because the key would not release the trunk when in the ignition.

Cruze LT

  • Automatic transmission
  • 25,000 miles

one day the outside trunk release no longer worked, I must use the key to open the trunk at all. I took the vehicle to the dealership and they did not fix the problem. It would've also been free to do as my warranty had not expired yet.
