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."
Drove my car 4 blocks when I started to smell something hot. The next thing I knew I saw smoke coming out from under the fender in front of the drivers side tire and lights area. I then pulled over to check it out and that is when the flames appeared and my car was on fire. Called 911 and fire was put out but damage to front end and drivers side front. Right now the body shop believes it appears to be the fog light wiring harness caught on fire on the drivers side Has anyone else experienced this?
