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."
I am a Corporate Guardian so I need my car to drive all over the state. Doing my visits on the 10th, I suddenly found the car was jumping in and out of neutral to drive and back again. I limped it to the nearest transmission shop in the town.
I was in thinking it was a simple transmission problem. They checked it out and told me it's an electrical, not a mechanical problem and so far it's been in the shop since then while they try to figure out what the problem actually is.
