Description of the problem	From the time i bought this vehicle (off lease) the transmission never felt right. The car would jerk from gear to gear and the rpms would sky rocket. I expressed this concern multiple times with the dealership i bought the car from and they assured me everything was okay and that it was just the type of transmission. After just getting my car out of the shop for a separate issue the cruze left me on the side of a very busy highway that is notorious for accidents. As i tried to speed up the rpms would once again sky rocket but the car would not accelerate. After about a minute of this happening i pulled over to the side of the road. After putting the car in park i sat for a moment. When trying to drive the car just would not move. I tried forward and reverse and neither worked. So there i sat with car whizzing by me with a car that did not work. After towing the car to the shop he gave me the gut wrenching new that my 7 year old car's transmission is shot. I now have a $4,000 repair which i cannot afford. Oh and the kicker is i owe $8,000 still.
