Transmission failure of my 2017 Chevy imapla lt while driving on interstate on 9/26/20. I have 164,000 on the vehicle and according to vehiclereports.com the lifetime expectancy of these types of vehicles are only 160,000. The torque converter inside on the transmission are known for failing and costing many customers such as myself tons in repair costs.
