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."

Poor acceleration, engine light did not come on for a couple of months that indicated there was a turbo issue; almost missed the 70K window and would have cost-ed me instead. It's known issue and Chevy isn't saying anything; no recalls, nothing. Beware with this model and year with a bad turbo; which is poor acceleration.
