What owners report
CAR STARTED SFIFTING ON ITS OWN WHILE IN MOTION. WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE TCM. THE ONLY THING I COULD DO IS TO BUY A USED ONE. I WAS TOLD MINE WAS A 1 YEAR BUILD MODEL. VERY HARD TO FIND! WHY IF GM KNEW THEY WERE JUNK , ARE THEY NOT MAKING REPLACMENTS? THIS IS THERE FAULT. THERE ARE NO AFTERMARKET ONES. ALSO, I WAS TOLD I NEED A FUSE BLOCK. ALSO MADE BY GM WITH NO RECALL ! THEY ARE ALSO DEFECTIVE! $50,000.00 FOR A DEATH TRAP?

PO463 CODE INDICATING FUEL LEVEL SENSOR COMES ON THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL GO TO EMPTY AND BACK TO FULL OR EXISTING FUEL LEVEL. THIS OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS MOVING OR STATIONARY, WITH THE ENGINE RUNNING. PURCHASED FROM CHEVROLET DEALER ON 05/26/2015 (THIRD OWNER), AND MALFUNCTION HAPPENED THE SAME DAY, AND THE DEALER WOULD NOT MAKE REPAIRS, SAID SOLD AS IS. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO GET FIXED SINCE THEN WITHOUT ANY RESULTS. I RECENTLY HEARD THAT CHEVROLET PROVIDED A RECALL TO CORRECT OR REPLACE PROBLEM (COVERING 10 YRS OR 120,000 MILES), BUT THIS VEHICLE WAS NOT FIXED, AND I COULD NOT FIND ANY TYPE OF NOTIFICATION UNDER CARFAX THAT I RECEIVED FROM THE DEALER.
THE ENGINE RATTLES AT ANY RPM. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT P0430 INDICATES FAILED CATALYTIC CONVERTER (GM DEALER VERIFIED). FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED WAS AT 15000 MILES IN 2011, HAPPENED AGAIN NOW IN 2014 AT 47000 MILES. WHEN REPLACED AT 15000 MILES, IT WAS COVERED UNDER FEDERAL WARRANTY 8YR/80000MILES. NOW CHEVROLET REFUSES TO COVER THE COST ($1600 FOR THE PART, EST. $300 IN LABOR). DEALERSHIP MANAGER OFFERED TO DO ALL THE WORK UNDER A $500 'CUSTOMER DEDUCTIBLE'. I ACCEPTED THE OFFER AND WAS TOLD THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER. IT'S BEEN OVER A MONTH NOW AND MY TRUCK CONTINUES TO RATTLE WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS THE CURRENT CONDITION WILL NOT PASS STATE INSPECTION. MY COMP
