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.
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."
While I was driving on the freeway the sound of unlocking the car went on and the driver's door got open apart. I was lucky it did not open all the way because a car might have crush it or something worse would have happened. It was really scary. I got out of the freeway and checked the door and it was open when I touched it, opened wide. I just closed back. While this happened the open door came on.
