5/5 Overall
NHTSA 5-Star Safety Rating
The 2019 Chevrolet Cruze has 2 recalls, the most serious involving the automatic transmission's start-stop accumulator, where missing bolts can cause a transmission fluid leak that may progress to a complete loss of drive power.
The brake system also has a concern: the rear brake caliper pistons can develop internal gas pockets that reduce braking performance, meaning the car may take longer to stop than expected.
