Consumer Description

TAMARA RECALL: I AM A FORMER GM EMPLOYEE. I PURCHASED A 2011 CHEVY CRUZE RIGHT AFTER HAVING IT A FEW MONTHS I HAD A ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION. I'VE ALSO HAVE HAD TROUBLE WITH THE OIL GETTING INTO THE COOLANT RESERVOIR. WHICH HAS NOW HAPPENED THEE TIMES. THE COST IS RIDICULOUS!!!! I JUST SPENT $1050 ON THAT AND A NEW WATER PUMP JUST TO FIND OUT I'M STILL WITHOUT A CAR BECAUSE THE TRANSMISSION IS RIGHT BACK DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN. THE TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND JERKING. I FEEL LIKE GM SHOULD BE PAYING ME BACK MY MONEY FOR THIS CRAP PIECE OF CAR. I TRY HARD TO TAKE CARE OF MY CAR BUT THIS IS HORRIBLE!!!! I WANT MY CAR FIXED AND I DON'T WANT TO HAVE TO PAY ANOTHER DIME. I LOSS MY JOB BECAUSE MY CAR WENT OUT ON ME. I HAS TO BORROW THE MONEY TO GET THE GASKET JOB DONE AGAIN. I'M CALLING THE DEALERSHIP IN THE MORNING AND IF THEY DON'T DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT TRANSMISSION I AM GOING TO PUT GENERAL MOTORS ON BLAST!!!!
