Consumer Description

HAVE HAD THE CAR LESS THAN 1 YEAR AND HAD 50 MILES ON THE CAR WHEN I BOUGHT IT 8/2011. ON 6/19/2012 TRAVELING ON THE HIGHWAY AT 65 MILES AN HOUR MY 2011 CHEVY CRUZE (14,500 MILES) SUDDENLY BEGAN SLOWING AND THE ENGINE WAS REVVING HIGH. I PULLED OVER AND A LIGHT ON THE DASH APPEARED INDICATING "EMISSIONS PROBLEMS" ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL. IT IS AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION BUT THE CAR DIDN'T WANT TO SHIFT ANY HIGHER THAN 3RD GEAR AND WOULD GO NO FASTER THAN 30-35 MILES AN HOUR WITHOUT REVVING IN THE DANGER ZONE. CAR WAS TOWED TO DEALER. THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE FAILED. $1300 FOR THE PART PLUS LABOR COSTS AND NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. WORRIED IT MAY OCCUR AGAIN BECAUSE I AM FINDING SIMILAR STORIES POSTED ONLINE.
