Description of the problem | Transmission?? I noticed when driving from anywhere from 30-60 mph, that the car does not seem to shift right. It violently shakes before reaching the shift point and the tachometer will surge both on cruise and regular acceleration. I've taken it to the dealer 3x and they test drove it, confirming the problem. However, no lights came on and the diagnostic tests they did were inconclusive. They told me unless there is a recall for that reason or a light comes on for the diagnostic code, they can't do anything else, because they don't know what to look for. It is progressively getting worse and i am almost scared to drive it to my job (an hour away) for fear of the unknown... Will it catch on fire, will the transmission fall out, etc??? I'd really like to know what the problem is, so it can be fixed. The dealership told me that there were many complaints about this same thing with cruzes around that year, especially with turbo, and that i should contact you to see if there is anything you can do as an investigation on the matter. I did get a recall notice on the vacuum pump, but not the air bag coil, as of yet. I'm still waiting to see if that applies to me. Thank you for your help in this matter. |
