NHTSA Complaint #11604924 — 2024 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

The transmission suddenly failed on this vehicle. I was later informed that it was the clutch piston. Fortunately, the failure occurred at a stop light when I attempted to accelerate from a stop. The vehicle initially did not move as expected. If this had happened when turning into traffic, or merging onto a highway, it could have been dangerous. There was no warning light or indication at first. The service engine light only came on after about two miles. I was able to drive the car but accelerating was very slow. This car was purchased on [XXX]. I am seeing some documents online that indicate GM knew of this problem, and the dealer possibly should not have even sold me this car. As of this date, the car sits at the dealer with no replacement parts available. I took the vehicle to Phillips Chevrolet in Frankfort, IL. The representative there is who told me it was clutch piston that failed. There was never any warning or indication. This problem occurred suddenly.
