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."

leaky sunroof, stains on headliner

I've taken my car in twice to the same dealership! Chevy found no leaks after running it thru a car wash! Yah. Like a car wash is the same as 8 hours sitting in the rain. Now I have to take it to another dealership for a second look where I will get no loaner car and be stuck without a car for two days. Veronica from GM customer relations told me if they can't find a leak I should take my car to a car wash and clean the headliner stains myself. I pretty sure that's the last thing I'm going to do. Wish I could get a real solution to my problem.
