The transmission began shifting oddly and more sudden than normal and was not getting enough power unless the accelerator was pressed really hard. while my car was under warranty (<60,000 miles), the dealership, lafferty chevy, indicated the shifting was a result of an adaptive transmission that learns my driving habits and it was normal. now, the problem is worse 6 months later, and the car is out of power-train warranty (65k miles), and they inspected it further and have told me the transmission needs to be fully replaced. the transmission and power train made it very safe to drive these past few months and gm knows this is an issue and the dealer said nothing about this until the problem got much worse and is now out of warranty.

Every morning since vehicle was new has 2600 on it now when cold i pull out onto street when vehicle shifts from first to second gear the shift shift slips and flares like it s in neutral and vehicle will hesitate slow down while it's waiting to get into second gear, this is a safety issue because their is no forward movement during this and possibly could cause an accident because vehicle won't move quick enough, after shift 2-3 is perfect and 3-4 will do same thing slip and flare, i've been told this is normal but i am a automotive tech and have been for over thirty years there is definitely something wrong with trans but gm won't admit problem this is wide spread as there are the same other complaints on this website.

When putting vehicle in drive from park it jumps forward even with foot on the brake. when going from reverse to drive it feels like the vehicle is not in gear and then engages and then the vehicle makes a clunk noise and abruptly jumps forward. there is also a issue when going from first to second when accelerating and the same when downshifting. the transmission on this vehicle is very erratic in nature, you never know what it is going to do every time you drive it. this has been happening since the first 100 miles and i now have 8600 and still happening. i have taken it to the dealer and they stated they could not get it to repeat the issue even after letting it sit outside in 20 degree weather to cool everything down.

Seemed as if the car would almost slip in and out gear when diving approx. 30-40 mph. i then noticed the check engine light came on and flashed engine reduction and seemed to lose some power. i took it in to the dealer, 2 days later they replaced r&r camshaft position actuator magnet intake.the next day after the truck back. i started the truck it put it in reverse and the engine stopped running but it seemed as if it the engine was still running as when you use the remote to start the truck, after the 4th try the truck stayed running but the engine reduction warning had lit up again. the truck has been back at the dealers for 6 days trying to figure out the problem
