Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“I was at a red light and the light turned green and I pressed on the accelerator and the engine revved way up but I did not go anywhere, and then kind of clunk and it seemed to have popped in gear. The amount of torque that was delivered to the wheels caused me to veer into the lane next to me that had already began to move. A semi truck almost hit me!”
NHTSA complaint #10572914, filed 2014-03, 76,000 miles“Transmission skips gears from a stop to go acceleration. Took my vehicle to a Chevrolet ase certified repair facility to have checked. The clutch plate was melted along with some planetary bearings destroyed. The repair bill came to 1,800.00 $. Now the vehicle is showing signs of a recurring slippage problem only after 2 months since it was repaired and used parts replaced. Why isn't there a recall for this issue? My 2007 Chevrolet Monte Carlo ss less than 72,000 miles on it.”
NHTSA complaint #11054376, filed 2017-12, 71,380 miles“I had just exited the highway and was sitting at a red light waiting to turn left, when the light turned I stepped on the throttle like normal and the transmission revved up, clunked into gear started rolling and then began to shudder & vibrate. I had only been able to move about 10 feet. I took my foot off the accelerator as the car felt like it would shake it self to pieces. At this point someone almost back ended me. …”
NHTSA complaint #10507457, filed 2013-04, 68,000 miles“Car will not shift out of park intermittently. Dealer found wires to be broken and wires that were frayed at the shift solenoid. They removed console to splice and fix the wires. Dealer deemed wear and tear? At 32,000 miles? (console would have covered these wires totally so not sure where the wear and tear would be from). From putting the car in park? Drive? Reverse? I doubt it was wear and tear.”
NHTSA complaint #10436800, filed 2011-11, 32,130 miles“From a stopped point the transmission slips upon acceleration causing the car to make a loud clunking noise and then jerk and bark the tires until the car goes into gear almost causing me to be rear ended each time.”
