I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW IN OCTOBER, 2016. MY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS STARTED SOON AFTER OWNING IT, GROWING WORSE AS TIME WENT ON. THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT, ONCE IT DID, IT LURCHED. IT WOULD MISS SHIFTING, LAG, DELAY AND ROUGHLY DRIVE, EVEN THOUGH BEING AN AUTOMATIC. THE DEALER ONLY SERVICED NEW SOFTWARE UPDATES; ALL ELSE WAS IGNORED. IN EARLY AUGUST, 2019, A SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME TO GET A SECOND OPINION. I SOON DISCOVERED THAT GM IS BEING SUED, VIA CLASS ACTION LAW SUITS AS MY PROBLEMS ARE BEING EXPERIENCED BY MANY OTHERS, YET THEY STILL SELL NEW CARS WITH THIS SAME TRANSMISSION. ON AUGUST 17, 2019, I TRADED IT BACK IN TO THE DEALER WITH ONLY 17,400 MILES ON IT, NOT KNOWING THAT I WOULD BE STIFFED ON THE TRADE IN VALUE. GM DID ALMOST NOTHING TO HELP ME, FINALLY ADMITTING THAT THEY KNOW THEY HAVE A PROBLEM, BUT NO SOLUTION. I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT MOST TRADE PUBLICATIONS AND MEDIA OUTLETS HAVE NOT RUN THIS STORY ALERTING THE PUBLIC THAT GM IN KNOWINGLY SELLING CARS WITH BAD TRANSMISSIONS. HOW DO I RECOVER MY LOSSES?
