Reported at 90,475 miles, May 2019 Crash

Driving the highway at approximately 55 MPH, the check engine light pops on, and the car starts making light noises as if the transmission is having problems pulling. Utilized the onstar button to request a diagnostic, and was informed that the transmission, and the drive train was giving error codes. I was instructed to get the car into the dealer for service within seven days. Vehicle was taken in for service the very next morning by 7:45 am.
