What owners wrote
When on an incline, vehicle will start to roll backwards. Contacted dealer. Dealer stated that this problem was normal.
I noticed that my transmission shifts very hard when it warms up. I took to chevrolet dealer, they changed my transmission mounts, and dog bones. I paid quite a few dollars and my vehicle still has this same problem. The vehicle has 85,000 miles, but I,ve maintained the vehicle very well. I,ve also had problems with my steering play.the dealer changed some parts in the assembly which is better. I'm a mechanic and I don't beleive that there was anything wrong with my drivetrain mounts, but it's in the transmission.
