Engine overheating by model year
What owners say
Transmission began slipping during long interstate trip. After a rest stop, transmission would not shift out of a low gear on freeway even when traveling at 60-70 MPH. Warning light (transmission overheat) came on and we were able to make it to the next exit. Power train completely failed and we had to have the car towed and find a hotel to stay at overnight. Gm dealer found 35r wave plate broken and sever metal debris throughout transmission. Transmission needed to be replaced at our expense.
In may, the vehicle began shuttering and lost all power. The vehicle was towed to a dealership and they said that the wave plate had broken. In december 2012, the transmission displayed an overheating warning, but dealership said no problems noted (approx 110000 miles) then in jan 2013 (113000) miles the transmission would not shift out of 2nd gear. Dealership said that it was now a broken pressure switch and not covered under the previous repair warranty.
Headlight wiring harness overheating and melting to the bulb, causing light failure and need of replacement. Faulty wire harness causes bulb to burn out before the bulb life has expired.
The headlamp overheats the plastic wiring harness connector causing it to melt and create an intermittent open fault. The headlights will fail to illuminate and/or will flash on and off as the vehicle hits bumps, etc.
