I considered it was a transmission issue, but this only happens in "sport" mode. In regular mode, transmission shifts fine. yesterday I was putting on mileage to get the car ready for emissions readiness, and drove a bit in sport mode, and it shifted great. Later on, back in shift mode, an...

Does anyone else have water filling up in the doors after a rain downpour?

Is a replacement of the gold part of the rear bowtie emblem available?

Mine is damaged and GM is crazy asking $70+ for a new one made out of plastic.

Are the GM ones known to be problematic?
