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 clutch assembly failed to engage and disengage without warning. The dealer replaced the part; however, within less than 60 days of owning the vehicle, the failure recurred. The contact smelled an abnormal burning odor coming from the area of the clutch assembly. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the clutch assembly needed to be replaced a second time. The manufacturer was not notified. The approximate failure mileage was 70,000.
