On september 10, 2025 the transmission failed for the 3rd time without warning. This transmission only lasted about 5,500 miles. When it fails, it simply does so without warning. While driving it wll start shuddering and when you stop it just wont go after that. Gm knows there is an issue with these 9 speed transmissions because they are on backorder and my vehicle has been in the shop for over two months waiting on parts. Since this is the 3rd failed transmission under warranty, I created a complaintwith gm and requested a buy back but they refused.

In addition and overtime it’s seems this issue may go hand and hand with the lane assist issue that had been known on Chevy models where they either don’t work of they don’t recognize the lanes correctly and they pull although your in the correct lane.i have specifically taken the car in on 3 or more occasions about it disengaging and not driving forward or backwards. More recently it started to seem as if while u was actually driving the car did not want to accelerate forward and then while trying to accelerate the steering wheel pulled and caused the car to spin out of control on the freeway.
