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."

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Cruze. The contact stated that the support for the headrest restraint would not remain fastened onto the front driver seat. The headrest was replaced but the replacement head rest could not be adjusted to the occupant's height. The dealer and the manufacturer were made aware of issue and advised the contact that there had been a design change on the head restraints and the contact had been provided with that new design. The current and failure mileage was 3,000.
