Loved my Cruze until the clutch went bad at 3600 miles! Mostly highway driving, and I am experienced driver who learned to drive on a manual transmission. GM will not cover the cost of replacing the clutch due to driver error.

I have a Chevy Cruze 2011 and had this problem happened to me. I put my car in park to pick up my mail from the mailbox and as soon as i released the brake pedal and got out of the car, my car starting rolling in reverse. Luckly im young enough that i was able to maneuver myself into the moving vehicle and set the parking brake on it before it caused a serious accident. Since then the problem has been corrected for free by the dealer. But i still love my Cruze. Its a awesome car.
