What owners wrote
I was driving on the interstate anf as I was slowing down the car began downshifting rough. As I increased speed out of the exit the car was "jerking" and shifting very rough. The "check engine" light came on. It took 2 weeks to replace the transmission valve body, wiring harness, and solenoids in the transmission. This car only had 400 miles on it
After several trips to the repair shop at two dearlerships for my slipping transmission on my 2003 impala, the transmission finally failed after the warranty has expired on the car.
