| Purchased this car from centennial chevrolet, the transmission was slipping at times. took it back several times to dealership and they said they could not find nothing wrong. even after a mechanic had it personally after a few days. to this date it is slipping dramatically, and since the car is now out of warranty it has to come out of my pocket twice! know a few other people that have had the same issues and they had to replace the transmission for $2400. doesn't seem quite right to me. *jb | |||
