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."
The car was having a wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, wa, noise from the front end when I drove on the interstate. After taking my car to get the tires and wheels balanced and rotated the problem remained. Next, I went to the dealership where the vehicle was purchased. They informed me the problem was the "front wheel hub". It was not covered in my warranty, but they said it would be repaired at no charge. Problem solved.
