Filed May 16, 2021 · Transmission · 52,000 miles · MO

My wife took a trip to springfield ill. From paris mo. On 5/5/21 she drove appox 50 miles toward springfield on i72 e.her tachometer started shooting up about 5-6 thousand RPM at 70mph .hot transmission light came on.I told her to stop an let it cool.the light went off and she put it in gear only to find she only had low gear.we took it to s & k buick in springfield ill. Where they diagnosed it . The wave plate in the transmission had exploded.when we explained this vehicle only has 52,000 miles they or gm would do nothing for us.we find that ridiculous.they only used that transmission for 2 years and abruptly stopped using it.we have read of many of these with the same issue on the internet sites. Know they want us to pay nearly $5000.00 to replace transmission.once again this vehicle only has 52,000 original miles is garage kept and is pampered .this in our mind should be a recall and they should have some responsibity in this issue at general motors.any help would be appreciated.also wednesday 5/19/2021 the dealer will have had this vehicle 2 weeks.another joke.

No sound, just quit when I tried to increase speed. Onto highway I.had to pull over and went slowly into garage. The car has complete transmission failure, bad bearing on transfer case shaft, which is leading to 7 thousand dollars in repairs. I take great care of my cars and am very disappointed in the performance of this vehicle. I am surprised there are no recalls. Why would a transmission fail at this mileage? I am looking at another car manufacturer for my next vehicle. I have always purchased gm products.
