2012 Chevrolet Cruze consumer reviews

Everything goes wrong with it. I just bought one for 8000 . Very good condition, a few months later trouble with turbo and oil all over the engine needed to change the gasket

I bought my 2012 Cruze new that year, and it was the very worst car I ever owned. The Engine Light stayed on more than it was off. When I first took it home, the trunk would not close after being opened. The water pump required replacement twice, as well as the thermostat. After it hit 100K miles, it was in the shop at least every 2 weeks. I could not charge my car phone in it after two months because none of the sockets would work even after multiple fuse replacements. I paid for the car twice with all the repairs required to be made to it. I owned a Ford Taurus for ten years prior to the Cruze, so I know what a car is like when it requires little or no repair with proper maintenance. BEWARE BUYER: DO NOT GET NEAR A 2012 CHEVY CRUZE LT

The alternator went out keeps draining battery .it leaks oil,and the engine knocks.the gas tank is loose.but other than that the car runs great and is good on gas

I had not hat my pre owned 2012 Chevy Cruz Turbo for a month before I had a blown head gasket and only three months in my starter went out. I sold my mustang and bought the Chevy cruz to save me on gas. I guess I should be more specific when making my wishes. It's been sitting in the same place since December 28th. So I've only put two tanks of gas in it and the last one is still at three quarters. Guess I'm saving on that gas ain't I.......

This vehicle since purchased 2014 has had multiple engine cooling problems, leaving me stranded on several occasions , water pump, water inlet, thermostat, radiator, cooling fan, overflow reservoir, hoses, have all been replaced before 134,000 miles, and still continues to have cooling issues

This is the absolute worse car I have ever driven. Every mechanic that I have dealt with has told me how terrible this car is. Major, major problems costing a lot of money to repair only to have it break down again. Not worth the money at all.

I bought a 2012 Cruze eco 3 months ago. I’ve had nothing but problems. The car came with the abs, brake, traction control light on, the dealership said they didn’t know what it was. Turns out it was the rear speed sensors and the wheel bearings. The cars cooling system was the first hidden issue. The water pump, all of the hoses, the heater core, and the radiator fan relay was replaced. After that, it started misfiring after starting for 5 minutes. The coil pact, plugs, and pcv hose was replaced. The car still misfires to this day. I’m thinking the headgasket is bad and coolant is getting into the engine. Then, it started slipping, I haven’t done anything with the transmission yet because it’s too much money, all I’ve done was use transmission treatment and replace the fluid. After that, the hoses started blowing. The fix to that was the surge tank and the cap. A diagnosis from a mechanic said that the oil cooler, transmission cooling line, and the thermostat housing needs to be replaced. The thermostat housing was already replaced twice. I bought the car for 4k, and then put 7k into repairs, and there’s still probably 4k in repairs to do yet. I can’t sell the car because it’s under shared ownership.

The plastic plate across the front of the car comes off and have had to replace it once and now can't afford to put a new one back on!!!! The car has less then 40,000 not bad for 2012 when I bought with 139 miles...LOL! Breaks need to be replaced and the interior of the car needs deep cleaning. I love my Cruze man!!!

To many problems with car !! The car is comfortable beautiful style , but to much money maintaining car ! Everything breaks down !owned my car for 5 years , just spent another’s 4 thousand dollars fix turbo , breakers , and much more !!

Head gasket blows easy on 6 speed manuel an leaking oil with only having 120,000 miles on it.Wouldn't suggest buying car at all especially to transport family.
