Check engine light just came on. Girlfriend's 2012 malibu LT with 2.4L 4 cylinder has some problems. Runs really loud, squeals when idle/shift into first gear, idles high, won't always reverse, struggles uphill. She doesn't have a lot of money, can't afford a new transmission. GM thought it would be smart to seal the transmission so I can't check the fluid without taking the wheel off and I'm not doing that. It just runs rough. It's got about 120k miles, these problems should not be happening. She bought it a year ago.
Looking for causes here. I suspect transmission, but maybe it's an airflow issue too? It vibrates and shakes at idle, and idles high. The reverse issue just came up this week, same with struggling uphill.
Appreciate any help.
