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."

Cruze LTZ 1.4L

Went to turn car on and passenger air bag warning came on. At this point I was unable to start my car. Hazard lights flashed for about 5 minutes with an annoying clicking noise (possibly the ignition?) and then finally it stopped and I was able to turn my car back on.
