Description of the problem | My transmission started slipping while driving to work on the highway at 70 mph. The car gave me 2 warnings, one for the traction control needing serviced and one for the transmission needing serviced. I drove the car to my dealer explained the problem to the dealer and stated that i didn't think i was going to make it to them. The dealership service center let the car sit for a few hours and then checked for codes and mysteriously could not find any problem. The problem always starts when the vehicle is going up hill, the transmission lights starts blinking, the car starts sputtering and i lose speed very unsafe in traffic! When sitting at a stop light with the brake pedal mashed to the floor the car lunges forward. I have searched online for similar problems and have found that many cruze owners are having the same problem and gm refuses to help there does seem to be an associated recall but it doesn't state the transmission problem in the discription. (nhtsa 16v502000) power train:automatic transmission:control module (tcm, pcm). The service centers can't fix the problem because the car is not showing any codes when they check and i'm always sent home. |
