Transmission always shifted hard and finally stopped shifting at all while in motion (backing out of our driveway). Despite taking it a chevy dealership for 3 years for maintenance, we were never told their was a known issue. When the transmission failed, we took it back to the chevy dealership and only when we took it to a transmission shop to get a second opinion were we told this was a known factory defect on several gm models. We ended up having to have the transmission rebuilt along with the rear end to the tune of over $5,000. Lemon law does not hold up because we did not have any work done under the warranty (which only covered the first year).
