I have almost had an accident twice based on the transmission not shifting properly and the car loosing traction between 1st and 2nd gear. Chevy has flushed the transmission 3 times with no change. 3 weeks ago the engine failed while i was trying to accelerate on a highway. This caused a truck to almost ram the back of my car and another car almost hit me as i tried to get to the side of the highway. I was able to…

Also, the backup camera, radio, and entire mylink system went out. After diagnostics, it…

Automatic 8 speed transmission shudders on light acceleration between 1300-1700rpm. This issue can be replicated and is especially noticeable when cruising up a slight incline at around 1500rpm. Chevrolet attempted a transmission fluid flush for me, and even a torque converter replacement for some other people, but the issue returns.

The windshield fogs up and drips with air on the feet. No way to clear the increasing fog unless you turn the air-conditioning off and increase the heat there for on the 90+ hot and muggy day you are left with heat exhaustion or pulling over on the side of the roadways which is never safe. When it rains good luck deciding if you want to turn the window defoggers on and cause condensation or open the windows in the…

On fri, 26 august 2016, at a stop, my car wouldn't go into any gear (it is a 6 speed manual). I almost got hit. A cop & a good samaritan stopped & forced the gear in 1st as dealership & gm weren't helpful over the phone. I immediately drove to flow. They kept the car for a week & said they did a full check & everything was okay. Gm was contacted but nothing was done to fix it. On sat, 24 september at night in a…
