Interesting they are just flat out replacing. Good for you but no attempt to even figure out what it was.
Transmission troubles
2021 Activ FWD. 13,500 miles.
I started hearing a sound like a bad wheel bearing. No vibrations. Dealership checked it out and said sound was coming from transmission.
TB runs fine just makes the noise.
I was told that they don’t work on CVT transmissions and it will be replaced.
Waiting for a call to take it back for work.

That what I thought. I’m thinking that it’s quicker for them to replace than repair.Interesting they are just flat out replacing. Good for you but no attempt to even figure out what it was.
that’s what I thought. I’m thinking replacing is quicker than taking it apart. Service rep told me there are about 30 vehicles that need trans work.Interesting they are just flat out replacing. Good for you but no attempt to even figure out what it was.
Wait I thought only the AWD models came in a 9 speed automatic?
Your tranny should not be a CVT they can’t give you that excuse

He has a FWD Activ with the CVT.Wait I thought only the AWD models came in a 9 speed automatic?

I had a 2021 AWD and the transmission went out at 19,000 miles..same issues to begin with. Then I started having issues with warning lights and the dealership said that it was anything from a software update to having to pull the steering column and replace it. I promptly asked how much I could get on a trade in and I bought a Blazer.
I asked the service rep when I brought it in and he said it was a CVT. After I read your response I googled it and it said CVT. Where did you get your info from. I really an cluesless on this.Wait I thought only the AWD models came in a 9 speed automatic?

I have only seen the actives with 9 speed auto that only have AWD never seen an Active FWD. either way CVT does not shift.
so you won’t feel shifts.

The CVT is and has been a big problem for years.
Consist variable transmission are good for 60k you'll be replacing it. Consist wear parts inside. There's a belt or chain that has about 60k life. If that.

It was making noise and shifting rough..very rough.
I think Chevy needs to have some recalls if so many people are having problems with same issue then a recall on those parts need to be out in place! 🤦🏽♀️🙏🏽
Like that will ever happen..

I am really sorry for what you’re going through. Wishing your problems get resolved quickly.I think Chevy needs to have some recalls if so many people are having problems with same issue then a recall on those parts need to be out in place! 🤦🏽♀️🙏🏽
NHTSA issues vehicle safety standards and requires manufacturers to recall vehicles and equipment that have safety-related defects. A recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle, equipment, car seat, or tire creates an unreasonable safety risk or fails to meet minimum safety standards. Most decisions to conduct a recall and remedy a safety defect are made voluntarily by manufacturers prior to any involvement by NHTSA.
I am certainly not an expert but to me at this point this sounds more like an inferior product than a safety risk. In any event manufacturers should offer a proper remedy to you.
I think the lemon law is the best course of action. Again best wishes.
Thank you!! 🙏🏽 They still have my vehicle and I am in their loaner!! 🙏🏽🙏🏽😊 Dealership says they contacted GMAC and said new job needed to be done would cost me $1500-$1600 but they are only going to charge me $220! I’ll take that especially after being right outside of warranty miles. #thankfulI am really sorry for what you’re going through. Wishing your problems get resolved quickly.
