Malibu V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 52,000 miles

First noticed car kind of chugging in low gear. RPM gage was going up and down as well. A few weeks later, the Check Engine Light came on. Went to Auto parts store to have code read for free, which was where the "FREE" ended. The only way to get to the solenoid was to drop the transmission. $525 in labor and $150 for parts. This is the last GM vehicle I will ever own!!!!
