Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
The transmission suddenly failed on this vehicle. I was later informed that it was the clutch piston. Fortunately, the failure occurred at a stop light when I attempted to accelerate from a stop. The vehicle initially did not move as expected. If this had happened when turning into traffic, or merging onto a highway, it could have been dangerous. There was no warning light or indication at first. The service engine light only came on after about two miles. I was able to drive the car but accelerating was very slow. This car was purchased on [XXX]. I am seeing some documents online that indicate GM knew of this problem, and the dealer possibly should not have even sold me this car. As of this date, the car sits at the dealer with no replacement parts available. I took the vehicle to Phillips Chevrolet in Frankfort, IL. The representative there is who told me it was clutch piston that failed. There was never any warning or indication. This problem occurred suddenly.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
Transmission issue: Dealer was not able to replicate issue due to it only happening periodically. When putting into drive mode and going to accelerate it feels as if the transmission is slipping and give a big jerk. Also will sometime make a loud noise like tranmission is "dropping". Or when foots off gas peddle after going at a steady speed then go to accelerate again it will jerk. Dealership said that is normal as there is a "learning phase" which I've owned several new vehicles n never experienced this before. No warning lights have been shown. Reverse automatic breaking issue: Several occasions while reversing vehicle will slam into park mode when nothing is behind me. Brought to dealer, dealer said to shut off the notification. However, I don't want to have to shut it off. Tech did experience this once while attempting to reverse vehicle. But service advisor said there is no fix for this issue. Very startling to anyone in vehicle when it quickly locks up.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
On May 14 a service bulletin was released by GM for an issue with the transmission #N242446290 causing a reduced acceleration suddenly and finally zero acceleration after a few minutes unexpectedly. I purchased this car brand new on [XXX] and was not made aware of this potential problem. On [XXX] we took a family vacation road trip from TX to Gatlinburg, TN. The transmission failed and the engine gave zero acceleration the night of [XXX]. I had to have GM roadside tow the vehicle to a Chevy dealer there in Tennessee and then rent a car out of my own pocket to drive home. This is a safety hazard for sure with the vehicles listed on this bulletin as it gives no warning of failure while driving. I was pulling onto the road with traffic when the engine light came on and I lost all power, unable to move out of the way.

1. When reversing, the emergency braking is very sensitive. On 6/20, it was pouring rain and every time I tried to back out the car kept slamming on the brakes thinking there was an object in the way. it also happened when we were leaving an appointment that same day. It wasn’t pouring rain, but rain was dripping down the back of the car and the car slammed on the brakes at least 5 times trying to back out. This also happened before when backing put of a parking spot and there was a shadow behind my car. The car kept slamming on the brakes thinking there was an object there. 2. Very jolting and unexpected movements. Not safe when trying to back out. 3. Unable to reproduce at the dealer. Took to the dealership on 6/20 after this happened. It was no longer pouring rain at that time, so was unable to reproduce the issue. 4. No inspection. The dealership did look at the sensors to make sure they weren’t pushed in or obstructed. 5. No warning prior to the issue.
