| Has anyone experienced their transmission seem to jump back in gear after coasting at low speeds in traffic. When I push on the pedal after coasting it jumps back in gear and is very frustrating. I have had it checked out at dealer and they told me they re-programmed the Transmission which scared me. But that didn't fix the problem. Will be taking it in one more time before I decide what to do. But has anyone had this happen to them..? | |

Replying to: reatopeka (Jan 30, 2008 11:48 am)  %$#. I can't believe this vehicle won car of the year. I recently discovered a leak up by the headliner by the driver door by the door seal. I can't wait to see how they are going to resolve this one. They haven't been able to solve the right front suspension noise or a noisy starter motor when the temperature is in the minus range. I recently had my rear speakers changed due to a rattle in them, now i don't have nearly the powerful bass response that I use to. The dealership just changed all four rotors due to pulsation. I've had software updates to my transmission as well but I have rough idle sometimes and i feel it and see it on my tach. When it's cold as well, my base idle will go up by 200 rpm, this is without using the defrost mode. The ventilation setting is usually set to floor. The fuel economy for this vehicle can be so atrocious, that I try not to use my defrost as much as possible because that causes the RPM to be bumped up by 200+rpm. MY sunroof rattles when it's in the up position as well as the sunshade. I recently noticed a knock in the steering especially when i turn to the right. I also have to bring it to the dealership for them to try and buff out theses tiny rust marks all over the vehicle, yes the paint colour is white. Believe me I could go on! Piece of #%$# ^ i say!!! I am planning on going through the arbitration process. I've only had this vehicle only for three months. I picked it up after getting the XE initially and I wasn't happy with the performance for the amount of fuel that that thing was using, so I move up to the XR. This vehicle is an 07 manufactured in oct 06. I opted to take this vehicle from the dealer with 9500 KM on it because they were supposedly having difficulty getting a dealer transfer for a brand new car. I can't wait to get rid of this GM piece of $# #. I might revisit them when the finally learn to make a proper vehicle. I feel Like some kind of test subject with this lemon.

Replying to: snickers32 (May 01, 2008 6:49 am) Go to another dealership. The trans programming should fix the gear/torque converter problem, according to other posts again. Neither should cause you any loss in mileage, might even get better. I have never had any of the problem you report in over 19000 miles in my XR. S orry to hear you are.

After reading about these transmission problems, I was wondering if this is a known problem with the 4-cylinder versions, particularly the new 6-speed tranny. - Robert -
