I thank God for my Lifetime partner being with me, because I had no idea what I would have done. We where driving on a busy 2 lane road that don't have many pull off the road places. I thought he was pulling over, but I heard the engine raving like it was changing gear. Then our car just stopped, he got out and check under the hood to check to see what could be happening. He unplugged the battery cable. Got back in started up again, put in gear drove about 100 yards. I was looking at the speed decreasing, but the engine was raving like we should be doing 55mph but the speed decreased again. He did this two more times, because we needed to get off of this busy road (route 40). But this last time the engine light came on.
We turn on route 647, call for his brother for help to get our car home. Tow it home 1/20/18, then on 1/26/18 towed it to Fellers Chevrolet dealer for a diagnostic test. they call and said it was the transmission we will put a new one in for $4,000, but where is result from the test ~ no proof.
My Lifetime partner took our car to Southern Automotive for a second opinion. They confirmed that the transmission needed to be replace or rebuilt. To remind you this is a vehicle with less than 150,000 miles.
I am very distraught paying for a car and can't drive because of major problem like this without no indication of any malfunctions.
I praying that all dealers should at least give car buyers 1 year warranty as well as extended, this should be a apart of the deal.
