Hi I am curious if we have any Cruze owners with 40,000 miles plus on their cars yet. I like to get a sense of reliablity of the car. I know GM cars from my experinces I have had to replace brakes and rotors at 36-40,000 as one example reliabity On a scale of 1-10 1 being a granma driver and 10 a race car driver I consider myself a 6-7. So like the brakes and rotors example I felt they were cheap parts and wore prematurely. I should gotten closer to 60,000 for my driving style

All the japanese cars I have owned needed brakes way way before 30K miles. If you let them go too far, then obviously you will need new rotors also. In fact, my Nissan always needed new rotors along with the new pads because they were too thin & cheap and always warped. When it comes to cheap parts, the jap cars have GM beat there.

Ah. They pulled that trick on you too eh? They stiffed me out of $1,000 on my Sebring with the same excuse after owning it for just over a year.. I moved to thailand, got the cheapest Honda they sold (City iDsi) and in 7 years they only replaced the rotors once and the pads maybe 2 times.

Mechanics in the USA are scammers. All of them.

Oh and my CRUZE has only 1,600 miles on it (2,600 km).

If I ever go back to the USA, I'd buy the cheapest used Honda I could find. If you take it to Midas or PepBoys they will steal your money and mess up your car on purpose. If you take it to the dealer they charge you too much and ALWAYS ding and scratch your doors.

Thanks for the offer Shawn letting me borrow your car. I should be picking mine up Thrusday evening, but will be willing to run up the milage on your car if up don't mine. This way way I won't have to drive the minivan I will be getting from the wife as she will be driving the Cruze mostly

I am at 9,800 and I would consider myself in the "top tier" if miles so far.
Brakes - depends on driving. I had a car that I need take in every year for brakes - one year the front, next year the back, over and over. Then I moved to a location where my commute was just long interstate driving and then I did not need a brake job for 5 years.

almost at 16,000 miles. i thought brakes felt a little warn down recently but the dealer says the pads and rotors look fine, might have just been dome debris on mine as i haven't noticed it past few days

i would take your car to another dealer, they warranty brakes longer than 7500 miles usually, they will always turn them once under warranty but if they're fully warped, you might have to buy new ones :/

Over 12,000 now, no major complaints

12k here, I've had a few problems, but none related to milage. Bad vss, passenger weight sensor needed recalibration, lose weather stripping, and a still undiagnosed wind noise from the passenger side. The car has spend 30 days in the shop, I've owned it for 4 months. None of the problems occurred in the last 5k miles though, and gm compensated me for my trouble, so I can't complain tooo much.

...most warped rotors are due to sloppy wheel bearings (poorly assembled or torqued), which let the rotors "wobble" between the pads, creating alternating-spaced "hot-spots" on the rotors, which then causes the rotors to warp.
