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."
I called Shaheen Chevrolet, in Lansing, MI, where I bought the car. The woman I talked to said it was not urgent but should be fixed soon. She also said it was covered (a no-fee fix) and I made an appointment for February 6. Then I drove to work and had to put some muscle into each turn. I also found it difficult to park and was over the line.
I called Shaheen Chevrolet back and scheduled an appointment for that afternoon. When I took it in, the intake man said the woman I spoke with was mistaken and it was not a free fix. It would cost $109 + change to have the problem diagnosed and an unknown amount to have the problem fixed.
On the way to the dealership, I did not receive the earlier message or have trouble steering. They said the problem would not be looked at until at least February 4.
