Is there a recall on Chevy transmissions?

General Motors has recalled 194,105 of its vehicles in the U.S. built between 2018 and 2020 due to a potential oil transmission leak that could lead to a loss of power. The bulk of the recall affects the Chevrolet Cruze from 2018 and 2019 model years, but other Buick, Cadillac, and Chevrolet vehicles are also included.

What was wrong with the GM ignition switch?

The faulty ignition switches were a huge problem — drivers could inadvertently knock them to “off” or “accessory” mode while driving, if, say, they were using a heavy keychain. Once that happened, the engine would shut off and cars would lose their power steering and power braking capabilities.

Can you get a new car if yours is recalled?
