My 2008 Malibu has begun to have transmission issues. Hard shifting into 4th and 5th gear and then all of a sudden engine began revving but car hardly moving. Had to have car towed to Chevy dealer who now says I have a broken wave plate inside the transmission and cost will be in $ 3000+ range to repair. Dealer claims not able to use Special Coverage Program since vehicle beyond 10+ years by ONE year.
Thank you General Motors for standing by your vehicles. I will never ever buy another gm vehicle or have family members do so either. This is a repair that gm should deal with regardless of time on said vehicle. Poor customer satisfaction is all GM buys by this short sightedness.
