My wife and I bought this as a certified pre owned vehicle for her to drive from a local Chevy dealer on 1/24/15. We felt okay about the high miles with the vehicle being cpo and having gms 12 month / 12,000 mile warranty and 5 yr / 100,000 power train warranty. We only expected to be putting 12,000 miles a year on the vehicle so we thought we'd have a long trouble free ownership experience with it. That all changed 6 days later. We'd only driven it probably 100 miles since it was purchased and on 1/30/15 we were driving on the highway when all of the sudden the check engine light and traction control lights lit up and we lost all power. Luckily we were able to pull over safely. We called a tow truck and had it towed to the nearest dealer (not the one we purchased it from). The next morning we went to the dealer to discuss the problem and pick up a loaner. The service rep at the dealer explained that the problem was probably related to the PCV recall and his best guess was that there was damage done to the vehicle prior to the recall work being done. I wonder if this could have been / should have been something tested as part of their cpo process. We got a call on 2/3 from the service guy telling us they ordered a new engine and he hopped it would be in by 2/5 and that the vehicle would be available for us to pick up shortly after that. I'm pretty nervous after reading all the issues that others have had that this could be an ongoing problem and even with a new engine we may have the same or a similar problem. Time will tell I guess.

The car has been having clutch issues. Shifting into first gear from a stop causes the whole car to shake. This happens after mainly long drives. Driving back from boston MA, there was very heavy traffic which required me to stop and start frequently on the highway. Each time I had to start, the car shook violently and felt as it were going to stall. This makes it impossible to drive safely, as it does this when pulling out into traffic as well. Dealer said this would most likely not be covered under the bumper to bumper warranty. The car is new and this should not be an issue. This issue is documented in many online forms as "intermittent clutch shudder".

Our daughter was driving home on the interstate for a visit from college. Warning lights came on and the car began to shake so she pulled over just as the car's engine turned itself off. She tried to re-start the car and after several attempts it started but was shaky and all lights were flashing. We had car towed to nearest dealer, they told us the engine failed and it would have to be replaced. She was given a rental, after aprox. Two weeks she picked her car up again with the new engine. Drove less then 10 miles on the new engine and once again she was on the interstate for another trip home when the engine failed again. It is currently at the dealership near her school. The people at brown & brown were/are being very helpful however I am now very concerned for my daughter's safety in this vehicle.

Car stalls will put the pedal to the metal and will not advance. It will start to move slow after a while not reaching full speed. Transmission gear display will be blank in dash console. Car moves at a very high RPM reading. Transmission will kick if set on neutral and then shif to drive. This has happen twice in the short amount of time that we owe the car. The problem is that we have taken the car twice to the dealer but is working fine at such time so they can not detect the problem. First time it happen my wife was at a stop light and when it happen to me I had just started the car. This is a very serious and hazardous situation.

Engine lost power on the highway when I was going 65 miles per hr, luckily I was on the right lane and was able to pull safety on the shoulder and did not have any accident. But I am afraid to drive my car and this car is only 2 years old. Find out from other owners complains that engine lose power is cause because of excessive oil usage by the engine. I had this problem since February 2014 but I was told by dealer that there is no visible oil leakage., I do not believe engine was checked for that problem.

Upon starting the car, the check engine light and the traction light lit up. The car was in park on a flat and paved surface. After putting the car in reverse, the car suddenly jerked and did the same as I put it into drive. As I was driving the car was up to 3000 rpms and would not go over 30 mph. The car would not shift gears. I pulled over and shut the car off. When I restarted the vehicle, no lights lit up and it performed fine the rest of the way home. When I took it to the dealership the next day to have it looked at, they only found a code for misfiring coils. They also stated that they believe this is not the issue I am having but due to Chevrolet warranty, they could not look into it without a certain code to pop up in the system.

As I am driving the car, the engine will rev as though the car is in neutral and the car no longer moves forward (no power to the drive wheels.) the transmission appears to be slipping. This problem is intermittent and has occurred during all weather and vehicle temperature conditions. It has also occurred as I move forward from a dead stop and as I am entering the freeway on the onramp. I have taken the vehicle back to the dealership from which I purchase the vehicle on five occasions yet each time the vehicle is returned, the same problems occurs within a week.
