My car with 45,000 miles on it has the following issues...
1. The car jerks at every shift after it warms up
2. After I back out of the driveway and shift into drive I accelerate, the car revs kind of high, moves a little, then catches on and jerks really hard. After that...
3. The car drives normal for about 10 minutes, then it starts to jerk at every shift (1,2,3)
::I've had the transmission fluid flushed by the dealer already::
::No Help::
4. Also, there is this "clattering" sound when I accelerate while i'm going about 25 mph. It clatters and stops after I reach about 40 mph
5. Today I was waiting in the car in the parking lot with the car on, and in park. The car trembled noticealby, like it was going to die out. It's done that twice
6. The gas guage isn't so accurate either...you get in the car in the morning and it says it has a little left...once I get out of the neighborhood it's below the red line, then the "low fuel" message appears

Finally:
Several times already I notice that when I take off from a dead stop the car won't shift into 2nd unitl its going about 40 miles per hour
Also, the other day I was going about 55 mph and I wanted to pass this other car so I floored it, and it really struggled for about 5 seconds (pretty much did nothing) then jerked extremely hard then sped up...too late.

I couldn't pass the vehicle.
It has about 4,800 miles of warranty left...heres the thing...
The dealer says that they have to "Tear-down" the transmission, which costs $1,100.00 if they don't find a problem. If they do the warranty (insurance) will pay for the repair and the 1,100.00.
Dude, the car is about 2 1/2 years old, and I'm making payments...trade it in?

Sounds like the shift computer needs to be looked at. Possibly the shift solenoids too. That should fix most, if not all, of your problems.

Trans problem and shuddering sound like a lock-up converter solenoid problem or a computer malfunction sending the wrong signal to the trans. In any event, if the car's under warranty, the dealer is suppose to fix it...period. If you get any flack from them, ask to speak to the area zone rep from GM. The service manager can set up a meeting with him or her or give you their number to contact. Talk to the dealer's general manager. Make sure to document all your problems and ask for an extension of the warranty if the problems are not corrected. Maybe try another dealer.

A Chevy Certified Tech should be able to diagnose and resolve your concerns. If you would assistance in arranging an appointment, I would be happy to help.

It does sound like you have a electronics problem I would take to a diffrent dealer and get a second opinion, go from there if u keep the car I would have this done before the warranty is up, If you want to trade in you have to see if you can get a good deal on the trade in for a new car. versus what u owe.

tell the dealer that it's having problems and they're supposed to look into it. Tell them to figure it out since it's still under warranty. You shouldn't have to pay for anything!! The dealer is supposed to figure out where to check to find the problem. Don't be fooled.

Sounds like you're going to need a new transmission
