Consumer Description

I AM NOTIFYING YOU THAT I HAVE HAD MY WATER PUMP REPLACED THREE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE CAR WHICH WAS BOUGHT IN APRIL OF 2012 WITH 9,000 MILES ON IT, IT SEEMS EVERY FALL I AM REPLACING THE WATER PUMP AS IT HAS SOME SORT OF LEAK INTERNALLY. IT IS VERY FRUSTRATING TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THIS PROBLEM. NOW RECENTLY MY TURBO OIL LINE SPRUNG A LEAK AT 92,000 MILES AND SO DID MY TRANSMISSION OIL LINE SO IT WAS BACK IN THE REPAIR SHOP. I HAVE ALSO HAD TO REPLACE THE HEATED SEAT ELEMENT AS THIS HAS BURNT OUT SOMEHOW. THIS CAR HAS BEEN VERY FRUSTRATING MECHANICALLY BUT OTHERWISE LOVE MY CRUZE. IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO BESIDES WAIT FOR THE 4TH WATER PUMP TO CLAIM A LEMON UNDER THE LEMON LAW? *TR
