Consumer Description

MY LTZ STARTED SHUDDERING AT ABOUT 25-30MPH @ AROUND 130,000 MILES. CHECK ENGINE LINE IS ON SPORADICALLY. IF YOU PUSH THE GAS HARDER, IT PICKS UP AND MOVES ON. THIS SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM WITH MANY '09 MODELS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL/FIX FOR THIS ISSUE. WE USE THIS CAR ONLY FOR FAMILY TRIPS OR BIG GROCERY TRIPS. I'D HATE TO GET RID OF IT. PAYING $45,000 FOR A VEHICLE MEANS IT SHOULD LAST FOR A VERY LONG TIME!
