Consumer Description

Car is unable to be driven. Transmission needs to be replaced according to chevy dealer, James Corlew, in Clarksville, Tennessee. It has just over 83,000 miles, has never towed anything, not even once. This is clearly a defective transmission as seen in other models/years and Chevy should be covering this. Many, many complaints from other owners regarding this as well as a class action lawsuit that I have read about online regarding this.
