What owners wrote
Dt: the contact purchased a used vehicle two years ago, and the second day after purchasing the vehicle there was a roaring noise from the front of the vehicle. The dealer said this was a problem with the front tires ,and the dealer replaced both tires. About two weeks later the noise returned. The vehicle has been to the dealer numerous times for numerous repairs. The vehicle would jerk to the right which caused the contact to hit a curb. There were no injuries but a police report was taken.
Encountered rough gear changes while driving. Took the car to a GM dealer for an inspection. The trouble code p1811 was " transmission fluid leakage causing pressure control solenoid malfunction per c obt" recommend transmission replacement"
