Why wouldn't you take it to a dealer and have it fixed for free? If it is the solenoids it's powertrain.

 

@richflstn, how many miles out of the 36,000 miles are you?

Dealer stated solenoid was an external engine part and not covered under warranty, but claimed GM has had a lot of problems with the solenoids. Claimed it was NOT covered under warranty, but he was being nice and covered it anyway.

 

Dude, you could put my USED oil on your salad.

 

@diskullman, thank you for the update. I am glad to read that the dealership is taking care of this for you.

Your dealership is WRONG.

You my friend need a new dealer.

Dude, I like a fine quality balsamic vinegar and Mobil 1 on my salads!

 

Why get mad - it's a machine, and machine break on occasion, just like us. Anyways, first check your oil level, and change it if it has a lot of miles on that oil. If the problem still continues, it's a relatively easy fix if you have a few hand tools, and have half an hour or so of spare time - https://www.chevyhhr.net/forums/how-tutorial-library-21/camshaft-position-actuator-solenoid-valve-replacement-w-pics-p0010-11-p0013-14-a-28779/
Or like ChevyMgr says - do the dealer thing if they will do it for free.

You can reset the CEL and the hard shifting condition, by disconnecting the NEGATIVE battery terminal under the trunk floor and reconnecting it.

 

Michelle,it has 40,600. This morning the ABS light and CEL
are on. Took it to the dealer,waiting for a call. I have owned several GM
vehicles, this is the first one I have had issues with.
