I tried to give Chevy and an American car company a chance to prove its quality. Sadly, I will not be getting another Cruze and definitely not another Chevy or GM product. Mine: 2012 Eco, AT, currently at 68k miles. So far: Replaced turbo, pcv 2x, ECM recall, brakes not self-adjusting, pass. wiper broke at 3 months (in warm weather), dead battery at 3 years (no lights or accessories were left on), water got into spark plug well last week, driver and pass. visors replaced twice, engine shield recall (they botched mine so bad that I made them give me a new one and said DO NOT TOUCH IT), constant coolant smell, coolant return hose leaked ($171 repair), electric pump vacuum switch recall, 2nd gear wobble since day one never fixed (I gave up on that one), CEL on at 34,878 then off at 34,880, no codes saved, engine coolant leak (none found) at 43,681. And to top it off, every time I get the oil changed at this particular dealer, they upload wrong info to OnStar stating they performed a whole list of services which they did not. So now, my maintenance and service history has been wrong for three years thanks to incompetence at the dealer. Next car will most likely be a Honda, Mazda or Suburu. Sorry, Chevy lovers, including my own jet-engine-mechanic brother who swears by GM. I'm sad because I love the design, handling, torque, fuel economy and quiet ride compared to other similar vehicles. I wanted to love this car for 150K but doesn't look like that's gonna happen.
