Brakes Failed
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."

On June 23, 11:30 pm, traveling west on 460 in Roanoke County, Va., a car was turning and I tried to brake. The brakes failed and I attempted to turn to avoid hitting the entire back end of the vehicle in front of me. I hit the left corner of the vehicle and lucky another car was not in the lane. The other driver is claiming to be hurt. I could have been killed or seriously injured. The other driver is claiming an injury... hopefully not. I plan to pursue. Pending ticket. There have been other complaints about brake failure with the Chevy Cruze. There was even a recall but not on my vin.
