When braking from 50 mph or 40 mph coming to a stop my car jerks and it-€™s very hard to stop it uncomfortable hesitation, Jerk, or lurch. Almost caused accident twice where I couldn-€™t stop the vehicle this is very unsafe for me and my family also transmission downshifts and up shifts are really hard in this vehicle

At 25 - 30 mph and at 45 - 50 mph the car shakes violently. I took it to the dealership for a diagnostic. They said they knew exactly what it was. I need a new lower and upper transmission. That is the recommended fix. That is something that happens to Chevy transmissions and the cost is $5400. It seems to me that if this is something that goes wrong all the time, that's a problem that I did not create. My vehicle is worth less than the cost of the fix and I still owe more than twice the cost of the fix.

While driving at highway speeds (65+ mph) the information center will display 'reduced engine power' and car will down shift and only reach 45 mph. Causing close to rear-end crash. You have to leave the highway traffic immediately and turn off engine. Re-start engine and continue driving. It has happened twice now. Seems like a software problem.
