| There are two kinds of problems i brought to the attention of the service department several times since purchasing the vehicle but mechanics still cannot find what is causing the problems. first, my vehicle stutters when i back up and turn slowly or turn forward slowly. it does not do it every time, just occasionally so the mechanics do not experience it. second, when stopped at a red light for a few seconds, my car feels like it has been hit in the back but when i look back to see if i've been bumped, there is no vehicle behind me. it feels like the powertrain or engine wants to jerk forward. i've taken it to the dealership twice and they say they have fixed the problem, but it continues. *tr | |||

| We have had numerous electrical and mechanical problems. the fan motor contol module when out,then the module that controls the fuel indicator and display went bad. now less than 6 mos later the transmisson has gone bad. it is only working in 2 & 3 .no overdrive or first. this last problem suddenly started on 7/17/11.our mechanic came and checked it out (he did not want us to drive it) and said the transmission was only working in second and third and we should not drive it and needs to be replaced or repaired. we are still paying for this car and for the last repairs on this car. i have seen several complants and service bullitens on this problem and the problem with the gas gauge. has there been any recalls or acknowledgement of these problems by gm? | |||

| Car felt like someone bumped the back end of it while at a stopped position or that it is shifting down while you are at a stopped position..you can also feel it on the floor at times as it happens when it feels like it..dealer did a check with the diagnostic machine and nothing was in the computer...this was the second time i took car into dealer...first time they said it was probably the compessor kicking on....this time they said that this car has a transmission that downshifs like that and makes it feel like there is a problem but unless it gets worst not to worry...but if it does get worse to ring it back in. *cn | |||
