Shifting Roughly, Clunking
2012 Chevrolet Cruze
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Chevrolet dealer.
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."

Yet another game of Chevy Cruze. This time our transmission was making some noise, lazy shifting into second gear from first. Went into Chevy for a fix of something else and they were very quick to tell me to bring my car in for a transmission replacement!!!!! It was crazy how on top of that they were. Obviously they have had problems. Funny thing is.. my car is doing it again.
DO NOT BUY A CRUZE!!!
