MY TRANSMISSION JERKS AND RUMBLES, AS IF I AM DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STROPS. IT JERKS WHEN I PUT IT INTO GEAR. IT JERKS AND RUMBLES WHEN I ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE. WHEN I GO FROM PARK TO DRIVE IT JERKS FORWARD AND ACTUALLY MOVE FORWARD A FEW FEET WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE GAS. AND THE SAME WHEN I AM STOPPED WAITING FOR A LIGHT, IT FEELS LIKE I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. ITS A VERY ROUGH AND HARD JERK FORWARD. THE TRANSMISSION JERKS CHANGING GEARS IN DRIVE AND WHILE DRIVING, EVEN IN REVERSE. ITS A HORRIBLE SCARY RUMBLE JERKING. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL JUST TAKE OFF BY ITSELF. THE INCIDENTS HAPPEN ON ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS, CITY STREETS, HIGHWAY, TURNING, SLOWING DOWN, COASTING. ESPECIALLY TURNING IT JERKS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS FOR OVER A YEAR. I BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE MY CONCERNS, BUT IT DID IT WHEN I DROVE OFF AND BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION AT THAT TIME. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS EVENT FOR THE PAST TWO OR SO YEARS.

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

NHTSA ODI 11205485

WHEN DRIVING SLOW, I CAN FEEL THE CAR HESITATE TO SWITCH GEARS THEN ALL SUDDEN IT JUMPS OR NUDGES INTO SECOND GEAR. IT'S LIKE THE RPMS REVS UP THEN THROWS ITSELF INTO SECOND GEAR. ALSO WHEN IN SPORT MODE, THE VEHICLES GEAR/TRANSMISSION BECOMES MORE APPARENT OF VIBRATION OR STRUGGLES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND CHANGING GEARS. WHEN ALSO PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE U CAN FEEL THE CAR JUMP INTO GEAR BEFORE SWITCHING THE GEARS. IT'S AN ABRUPT TRANSITION.

NHTSA ODI 11204306

WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL VIBRATE/SHUDDER PERIODICALLY. WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND PRESENTS A DANGER. THE DEALER FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID RECENTLY, BUT IT IS STARTING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

TRUNK LEAKS WITH ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS LOCATED IN THE BASE OF THE TRUNK WHERE A SPARE TIRE WOULD BE LOCATED. WATER POOLS IN THIS AREA AND EXPOSES THE FUSE BOX, AMPLIFIER AND OTHER ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS TO WATER. THIS POSSES A MALFUNCTION AND POTENTIAL FIRE HAZARD WHEN THE FUSE PANEL SHORTENS OUT. DUE TO THE HALF-MOON SHAPE OF THE TOP OF THE TRUNK WHERE THE BACK WINDOW MEETS WATER TO POOLS AND THEN SEEPS UNDER THE TRUNK WEATHERSTRIPPING AND ULTIMATELY INTO THE TRUNK.

ISSUE 1 - 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISION IS SHIFTING HARD BETWEEN GEARS AND ALSO HAS A SHUTTER AT LOW ENGINE RPM BETWEEN 1200 TO 1500 RPM. THE SHUTTER WILL OCCUR IN MOST GEARS. ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL. IT HAPPENS IN ALL ROADS IN ALL CONDITIONS AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS + GEAR.. ISSUE 2 - "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 AT LOW SPEED. THEN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES IT GOES AWAY. IT HAS BEEN MORE NOTICEABLE WITH LOW TEMPERATURES. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 13K MILES.

I HAVE A DEFECTIVE WHEEL, IT CRACKED. THERE WAS NO IMPACT, I HAVE PICTURES AND VIDEOS OF THE WHEEL SPINNING ON A BALANCER TO PROVE THIS. THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT HAS BECOME MORE COMMON SINCE WHEEL MANUFACTURING WENT TO CHINA. GM IS WEASELING OUT OF THE WARRANTY, NO BIG DEAL. THE DANGER IS THAT I WAS INFORMED THAT GM WELDS LOW PRESSURE CAST WHEELS TO FULFILL WARRANTY CLAIMS. WHICH THE DEALERSHIP HAD DONE TO THIS WHEEL WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE, AGAIN NO BIG DEAL I ALREADY REPLACED THE WHEEL AND CERTAINLY WOULDN'T PUT THAT WHEEL BACK ON MY CAR. IN MY PROFESSIONAL OPINION THIS IS DANGEROUS. ESPECIALLY ON A HEAVY CAR THAT IS MADE TO RUN ON A TRACK AT 150 MPH PLUS. A CRACK IS CAUSED BY IMPURITIES IN THE ALLOY. IF THE ALLOY HAS IMPURITIES THEY USUALLY AREN'T ISOLATED TO ONE SPECIFIC SPOT. THIS CRACK ACTUALLY GREW FROM THE LIP INTO THE BARREL OF THE WHEEL IN A COUPLE DAYS TIME, ANOTHER WAY YOU CAN TELL IT WASN'T CAUSED BY IMPACT AND THAT THE IMPURITIES ARE MOST LIKELY IN SEVERAL PARTS OF THE WHEEL. I REALLY DON'T CARE ABOUT THE WARRANTY ISSUE, I JUST DON'T WANT TO HEAR ABOUT SOMEONE BEING KILLED FROM AN ISSUE LIKE THIS BECAUSE I NEGLECTED TO REPORT IT. IF YOU WANT THAT WHEEL FOR INSPECTION OR TESTING I CAN SEND IT TO YOU. THERE WAS NO DAMAGE TO MY VEHICLE. I'M ONLY ABLE TO SEND ONE PHOTO. I HAVE MORE AND A VIDEO.

ISSUE WITH ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION SYSTEM. I HAVE RECEIVED AN DIAGNOSTIC ALERT FROM ONSTAR IN REFERENCE TO THIS PROBLEM.

I RECEIVED ANOTHER ALERT FROM ONSTAR APPROXIMATELY 2 WEEKS AGO TOOK VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP RAN A DIAGNOSTICS CODE CAME BACK THAT IT WAS SOMETHING WITH THE AIR FLOW SYSTEM SO THEY REPLACED THE PART. REPAIRS WERE DONE ALMOST TWO WEEKS AGO AND I RECEIVED THE SAME ALERT FROM ONSTAR YESTERDAY IN REFERENCE TO ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION ALERT. MY VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY THE FIRST TWO INCIDENCE BUT NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. WHEN I RECEIVED THE ALERT FROM ONSTAR I CAN NOT USE REMOTE START TO CRANK UP VEHICLE.

THE WINDSHIELD FOGS UP AND DRIPS WITH AIR ON THE FEET. NO WAY TO CLEAR THE INCREASING FOG UNLESS YOU TURN THE AIR-CONDITIONING OFF AND INCREASE THE HEAT THERE FOR ON THE 90+ HOT AND MUGGY DAY YOU ARE LEFT WITH HEAT EXHAUSTION OR PULLING OVER ON THE SIDE OF THE ROADWAYS WHICH IS NEVER SAFE. WHEN IT RAINS GOOD LUCK DECIDING IF YOU WANT TO TURN THE WINDOW DEFOGGERS ON AND CAUSE CONDENSATION OR OPEN THE WINDOWS IN THE RAIN TO GET WET WHICH MAKES THE WINDOWS STEAM UP COMPLETELY OR LAST RESORT IS TO TURN THE HEAT UP ON THE DEFROSTERS AND HEAT UP THE WHOLE CAR. . OR AGAIN, PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD INDEFINITELY OR DO NOT DRIVE YOUR CAR IN 80% OF THE SOUTH'S WEATHER CONDITIONS. REALLY SAD THAT GM AND THE CHEVROLET DEALERSHIPS FIX TO THIS ISSUE IS TO SAY "WELCOME TO THE SOUTH" AND LAUGH. THIS HAPPENS WHEN ITS MUGGY OUT, RAINING, COOL AND WET, EARLY MORNING OR LATE EVENING. IT ONLY GETS WORSE WITH THE WIPERS, ONLY GETS BETTER WITH HIGHER HEAT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. SO IN ESSENCE MOST OF THAT OR THOSE DAYS.
