Description of the problem | While driving on a on a busy street vehicle- approx 30mph - unexpectedly and without warning this vehicle suddenly decelerated / downshifted to a crawl. We nearly lost control of the car and narrowly avoided several close calls of people behind us. Thankfully we were not on the highway as others have described. Also, door locks began locking and unlocking on their own. Once we got to a safe spot messages on the display began flashing, service stabiltrak; service traction control; park assist off; traction control on; traction control off. Towed this car to the dealer for an exorcism since it was no longer driveable. First thing they did was replace the battery. As they tell it a bad / funky battery might cause bad things to the electronic transmission module. $400 later issues persist. Now i am told i need to replace the transmission outright - $5500. This just can't be right. This is barely 6 year old vehicle with just over $115k. Serviced regularly / without fail. Shame on you chevrolet. I'm betting no chev exec, dealer or mechanic would ever trust this car for their family vehicle |
