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."
1st dealer replaced seat cover, they did a sh*t job, took to another dealer they installed a New seat back cover, 1st dealer damaged head rest guides/retainers, new dealer went to install new guides, now no button to release on guide, per GM they no longer service that style guide, now head rest can not be adjusted , head rest is in full up position and can not be adjusted as there is no release button to lower it, GM TEC center involved they are stating that's how it will be now. I'm 5'11" and my wife is 5'2" she will not be able to have a functional head restraint system.
I wonder how they can meet National Safety requirements for head restraints.
Cruse is a nice car but GM needs to step up to there problems, but what the hell we the Tax payers own part of GM, wish I had some input as part owners.
