Air compressor- has gone out and the cause for it was when i had a recall fixed. Chevrolet has stated they will not fix the issue and now as a college student i have to pay $1000 to have it fixed.

Transmission is failing. Transmission type is 6t40. It appears to be either the wave plate or the reverse drum. According to several service centers, there have been continuing issues with this transmission as well as other versions.
