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 was coming off fwy to a stop light, when I proceeded to drive on, it sort of chugged & felt like a skip and I could feel the car slowing as I accelerated. I continued driving but the car got progressively slower & was making a loud high pitch sound at which time the Engine light came on. I proceeded home with hazard lights driving slower than normal but made it the couple miles home & parked it. Never had this problem as the car is just 3 yrs this month with approx. 64K mi..! What the hell!!
Hoping it's the transmission fluid/oil & will check it in the am in the light. Anyone have this problem or have any idea what it might be..? Of course, my warranty is expired & I did not buy an extended one as I intended to trade/upgrade within the next year..
Thanks!
Concerned...!

Manual Transmission replaced under warranty at 48k miles. Very disappointing.
