In owners' own words
I purchased this vehicle in dec of 2019 used. 35,000 Miles. Now has 88,000 and the transmission went out. Regular oil changes. No warning lights. No issues. Stopped running. After having someone look at it to see what the issue was, the mechanic said the entire transmission has to either be rebuilt or replaced. Engine · reported at 88,000 miles
The vehicle began to shake as if it would shut down. Then, the engine light came on. Then I received three text message alerts. We were shown paperwork regarding the service history that was done at Philips Chevrolet. Now weâre getting alerts regarding work that has to be completed within 7 days. Engine
