| Power Train problems |
When shifting into drive from start, the shifter does not shift. I have my foot on the brake at the same time also. This has happened at least 8 eight times sense the SUV went over 3500 miles on the odometer. I have to wait about 5 seconds before trying it again. This is a safety item that needs immediate attention by Chevrolet and gm, if I needed to evacuate an area, or my garage in the event of a fire and the shifter fails!!!?? should I take it back to the dealer and ask for a refund?? o give them a chance to fix it?.
My car is available for inspection upon request. Awd service and 4wd service messages appeared at 389 miles and 2104 miles on the odometer. Messages appeared during operation of the vehicle, shutting down awd as an option and defaulting to 2wd. Messages would go away and awd would come back online after a few hours of leaving the car off. Awd system was in use when error messages appeared and deactivation of the awd/4wd system increased risk during icy road conditions. When taken to the houston mac haik chevy dealership service center, I was refused at the door, stating that the messages needs to be on for them to take a look. No warning lamps or other messages appeared prior to failure. Message first appeared during normal operation with awd on at 389 miles on the odometer. The components have not been inspected by anyone.
Purchased the car in August 2025 and have had into service 3 years for the same issues. When driving the car, the rpm will get "stuck" between 5-6 when only driving 20-30 mph. Once I slow down/brake, it will jump into a park effect, but still be in drive. The car has been inspected by chevy 3 times, but they can't get any fault code on the vehicle, so they can't "fix" the issue. This puts myself and my small children at risk because if it jumps into the park effect, while still in drive, I can not move and someone could rear-end me. I do have video evidence.
