Holden Cruze 2012: Transmission problems

I've had using Holdens all my life and I now own a 2012 Holden Cruze. It has only 49,000 km in the clock, but recently it has been giving a knock on gear changes and now the car has stopped changing gears and doesn't go when accelerating. But if I stop the engine and re-start the car, it will run for about 100 metres and does the same thing.

I’d say it’s got the dreaded Cruze automatic transmission disease. It’s common in that model and it’s likely the transmission will have to be replaced. Contact Holden Customer Care on 1800 033 349 and see if they do.
