In owners' own words
Transmission failed, at under 100k miles. Reached out to Chevy after seeing all the transmission issues in the news, they were no help, they did not offer any type of warranty or recall, and we all know they have an issue. M06y vehicle is within the years of the recall, but they would not cover anything. Had to go an independent auto shop to have a new one installed. Power train
I am having issues with hard shifting when it has been idle or parked for a while. Hesitation when in lower speeds, jerking with acceleration. Jumping and hard jerking when I first start in the morning I have almost hit my garage door several times from the jerking and hard rocking. It started around 13000 miles I am at 16000 and its progressively getting worse Power train
I noticed a "scrubbing or grinding noise" in the rear end when I first get in the car after it has been sitting for a while. The noise is very noticeable when I make turns. Then after the vehicle is driving for a few minutes.. It goes away.I took it to 2 different dealerships, they both told me, it was normal, and these performance cars "has to be driven".. Power train
