2012 Chevrolet Cruze Problems and Recalls: What Owners Report

Vehicle has 29,980 approximate miles. Vehicle had a leaking torque converter seal. While dealership was removing transmission, a stray bolt fell from the interior of the motor. Bolt does not belong to car. It has damaged the bell housing. No other damage has been reported at this moment.

Clutch smell very strong door dust all over engine car has 9000 miles on it also getting a engine code says cruise control sensor this car don't have cruise control dealer says clutch not under warranty I'm very dissapointed with the power in the engine car has no power for going up any slope or hills way under powered.

I bought a 2012 chevy cruze received recall letter first of 10/13 was stated in letter no parts were available but when they were I would get it fixed free. I approached intersection my brake went to floor was t boned and total loss of my car this car has 6 airbags none of them deployed ..not getting anywhere with gm.

When the speed of the car starts to reach 50 miles a high pitch sound occurs. I cannot determined if it is related to when air conditioner is turned on. The noise will diminish when speed is lowered to about 45 miles. I cannot recall if this happens in the colder months but it does seem to happen in the summer.

When putting the 2012 cruze in reverse the brakes would fail temporarily forcing me to push the car into park. A week later the radio start to turn on and off. At this point in time aug 7 2014 only the brakes have been fixed.

Engine cooling system exploded while car in motion coolant was everywhere underneath the hood. Belt broken.and has oil leaking.with an 800 hundred dollars bill while on vacation.

Strong odor of coolant entering the interior of car when heater is used. Becomes stronger if window is open while driving . Odor is not present when at standstill. Open opening hood with engine off odor can be sensed near the water pump area. Dealer replaced water pump a week ago to remedy the problem. The vehicle has 28 k on it.

Radio turns on and off repeatedly including the upper display, the smaller display flickers and will show a service stabilitrak notice. Several warning lights on the dash also light up: brake, stabilitrak , and abs. No gm bulletins nor a recall for this problem and dealership cannot fix problem after several visits.

As I was backing out of parking spot the brake pedal went to the floor increasing the time and distance to come to a complete stop.vehicle was towed to dealership where they determined it was a faulty brake microswitch (gm part # 13460776)that was already replaced under gm recall #12213 on march 20,2014.the dealership replaced the switch again and claim the brakes were now "working as designed".

Loss of brake assist at start up. Occured (4) times after recall #12213 was performed by dealer.

While parallel parking on a city street, brakes became unresponsive and I almost hit another car. I have had to have the brake booster pump replaced twice in two years and now it needs to be replaced again but dealer won't acknowledge that there is a known issue and because it is not involved in a recall, why I do not know, I must pay out of pocket. 3 booster pumps in 2 years but no recall???

Loss of power brake assist, requiring excessive force to stop vehicle. Barely stopped in time to avoid collision with vehicle ahead. Second incident. First incident was approximately 2-3 weeks ago when backing up in driveway.

Less than 30 days I have purchase a car from gallimore motors started having issues with the transmission slipping reported it to the dealer, who did nothing. It was like oh well. Then now the stabilitrak is coming on, I haven't even had this car for 30 days until yesterday.

61,000 miles and car is showing repeated p2135 codes for throttle/pedal senor issue and places the car in limited power mode. Event has happened during warm-up, at stop signs and lights, local street speeds, and during highway travel/speeds. I have cleared the issue using obd ii tool and phone app.

After about 15 minutes on the interstate at a speed of about 60mph the steering seems to have a spot that it sticks in and does not seem safe. Have called dealership but they say they havent heard of this problem but I can have it checked. It does not seem to happen everytime so I havent taken it in.

We were driving on rt 206 in jersey and the steering wheel locked up and the car went off the road. The car was totaled. About a week later I received a letter from chevy stating this is a known issue that the steering had increased friction and can cause the steering to lock up.
