The transmission in my 2010 Holden Cruze is playing up. I have it booked to go to Holden . My own mechanic told me there is a fault. Some code kept coming up on his computer. What can I do so I donât have to pay for a replacement? Itâs only done 116,000 km in seven years. This car belonged to my dad who passed away three years ago; it was his first ever new car that he bought from a dealership. I donât want to have to get rid of it.

Transmission problems with my 2010 Holden Cruze

The transmission in my 2010 Holden Cruze is playing up. I have it booked to go to Holden. My own mechanic told me there is a fault. Some code kept coming up on his computer. What can I do so I don’t have to pay for a replacement? It’s only done 116,000 km in seven years. This car belonged to my dad who passed away three years ago; it was his first ever new car that he bought from a dealership. I don’t want to have to get rid of it.

You’re not alone; the auto transmission in that model is well known to give trouble. As the car is now seven years old and has done 116,000 km it is well outside the warranty on both counts, so you’re not likely to get much of a hearing from Holden. But it is worth approaching the company about replacing the transmission for you free of charge, or at the very least, at a discount. Tell then that you know there is a problem with that transmission, and that you understand that they have replaced transmissions free of charge in the past.
