Description of the problem | I am a very frustrated mother with this vehicle purchase. I purchased a chevrolet cruze for my son as a gift for his high school graduation february 2, 2014. A month later there was a stop on sales because of the dangerous recall for the front axle right half that can break. The car has been sitting in the dealer for 2 months and i am making payments on a vehicle that we cannot even use. I know it is not the dealers fault , it is the gmc manufacturing company. I know someone needs to be held accountable for this. This is a disgrace to our country. How can one of the biggest car companies in the united states be so irresponsible? After all the bailout money that was giving to them out of our tax dollars. I do not even feel safe for my son to drive that car any more even if they replace the parts. I would probably need to get a second or third opinion. What am i my supposed to do trade in the car for what? For another vehicle that has more recalls. It looks like all of the gmc vehicles have recalls. We purchased the cruze because it was economical on gas and look i have a frustrated teen that is starting college in less that a month and cannot drive his brand new car. I keep getting messages about other recalls, the recent one was the defective air bags. Please tell me what i can do to feel better. I called gmc asked to talk to a supervisor and waited and waited and they wasted my time because no one wants to hear a mother complaining about her child's safety. If everyone would do their job correctly, no one would be having these problems. I really hope someone is held accountable for all of this. How can they replace the parts with used parts? I really hope that all of us being affected by these get some incentive to keep our cars and to help us to ease our frustration. I am really concerned about my son's safety. Help!!! Thanks so much for your time. |
