Description of the problem	I bought my car march 2015 and i have had nothing but problems since i got it. I still owe $ 8000. 00 on it and the gm company told me my motor is blowed. My father is a mechanic and took a look and said he believes my car jumped time because my water pump quit. Morgan mcclure told me they would fix it but it will cost me 3500 dollars. I think all these cars need to be taken off road and everyone who has had issues should get placed in another car.. I am paying a total of 17,000 for my car and its not even drivable. I will never by another cruze and i will let everyone know the issues so they don't buy one earthier. Ive been ripped off with this car since the day i bought it . This is exactly what happened to my car.. I drove my car to work with no issues. When i got off work i crank my car and drove it to morgan mcclure to get a reservoir cap for my car because it wouldn't tighten down like it was stripped. I cut my car off went in to morgan mcclure and bought cap. Put it on and my car wouldn't crank back. They looked at car and charged me $35. 00 for looking at it for 2 seconds to tell me it has no compression and my motor is blowed. They told me they can fix it but i need a new or used motor and it will cost $3500. 00.
