Automatic Transmission problem of the 2012 Chevrolet Cruze 1

Back in January 2012, I bought a chevy Cruze 2012 with automatic transmission. After two month using this vehicle, I found out it has a problem while driving up/down hill. Driving uphill, once I put the transmission into drive and release the brake pedal this car rolls back and the engine cut off. Driving downhill, once I put the transmission into rear and release the brake pedal this car goes down and the engine cut off. I went to a Chevrolet dealer, they tested my car and another 2012 Cruze from their inventory and both cars did the same as I describe above. However, they told me the car is performing as designed and no problems found at this time. Then, I contacted gm, gm contacted its dealer, and three days later gm called me back telling me the same ¿no problems found�. So, I requested a letter where gm tells me that anything was wrong and they will cover any future issues with the automatic transmission but gm told me that they cannot provide me any document. As a customer, I would like to request an investigation because in my opinion those issues are design defects. Thank you in advance for your help.

I have a 2011 chevy Cruze it has a shifting problem. I was driving it home one day and the transmission would not shift and the car basically stopped suddenly. This almost caused an accident because the car behind me almost rear ended me because of the sudden stop. I took the car to the dealer and the replaced the transmission components and it still has the same problem. They are not sure what is causing this problem. The car also would not accelerate when tring to pass someone. These are some serious issues with the car and no one seems to know how to fix them.

Automatic Transmission problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze 5

My new 2011 chevy Cruze has a major hesitation when trying to accelerate the car. This problem occurs consistently all the time from day 1. Brought the car in for service for this problem to the chevy dealer where I purchased the car from and they said there is nothing they can do to correct this hesitation problem. They said they have had a lot of complaints about this hesitation problem. This is dangerous when you need the speed to pass on the highway and you don't have it when the accelerator is pushed. I was told at the chevy dealer that this car has six gears with a 4 cylinder engine it needs a 6 cylinder engine to change these six gears properly. Why would gm Chevrolet design a car like this with this problem???????.

Automatic Transmission problem of the 2011 Chevrolet Cruze 6

The six speed automatic transmission bogs down while changing gears. It also shifts very roughly. The gas mileage is well below standard; I believe due to the transmission problems. I have had it to the dealer two times in the first 7000 miles, but they claim there is nothing wrong. Help!.
