What owners wrote
While attempting to accelerate to avoid another driver, the transmission slipped. Instead of the car accelerating, driver was forced to swerve and hard brake forcing the vehicle off the road just barely avoiding an accident causing minor bruising on the children in the back seat. I more of these same complaints on your website and am told that chevrolet knows about this problem and has done nothing to fix it.
When putting the car in park on several occasions it will not lock into gear...I can literally pull key out and car is still running...you can move gears freely and does not lock.
