I am new to this forum and found it while I was researching this service issue and determine if others have had transmission issues as well. I bought this car in April 2010 and had the transmission fail in June 2011 with 30K miles on it. Yes, I use it heavily yet it is all highway miles for work. That fact should not have caused this problem either (I had an Acura that I racked 280K miles on and NEVER had a transmission issue.) Anyway, TODAY, not six months after the inital repair, the transmission died (car revved to 120 RPMs and did not move more than 5 miles per hour; also could not go in reverse at all) while I was on the road for a SECOND time!!!
I am livid!!! I don't feel safe in the car and HATE driving it!!! I don'twant to even put my family in it for fear we will be on the side of the road. After I had it towed it to the dealer, I was informed the bumper to bumper is NO longer in effect (@ 42K miles) and I said the initial repair should be under warranty - I don't car what they do I am not paying for it! and I am waiting word on what the actual cause was...
This is my first American car purchase and I am truly dismayed and I intend to let GM know about it. There is no suitable reason why the transmission on this car should fail within 18 months of ownership!!!!!!!!!
