I’ve been facing constant transmission issues with my 2012 Verano. The shifting feels rough, and sometimes it hesitates. Has anyone else experienced this?

Absolutely! My transmission feels like it’s slipping sometimes. I’ve read that changing the fluid can help. Anyone tried that?

4

Transmission problems seem pretty common! In addition to that, I’ve noticed a weird noise from the engine. I’m worried it might mean something serious. Any insights?

5

I had that too! A mechanic said it might be a failing water pump. It’s something to investigate before it gets worse!

6

I’ve had suspension troubles as well; the ride feels bumpy. Could that be related to the bushings? Anyone replaced them?

7

I think suspension issues can really affect the driving experience! A friend replaced the struts on their Verano and said it made a huge difference. Worth checking out!

8

Struts can definitely help, but I also read that the shocks might wear out quickly on these models. So, a double check might save you!

I often wonder if these problems are common across all Veranos or just certain batches. Anyone know if there’s been a recall for these issues?

Good question, Susan! I haven’t seen recalls specifically for those issues. It seems like just a string of unfortunate luck for many of us!

Honestly, I love my Verano, but with all these problems, it feels like I’m driving a money pit sometimes! Has anyone else felt that way?

12

Haha, so true! It’s like the car’s got a little monster inside, just waiting to eat up your funds. But I still can’t let it go!

13

I’m facing major issues with the infotainment system. It’s glitchy and often restarts unexpectedly. Anyone else dealt with this?

14

Yes, I’ve experienced the same! The screen goes completely blank and then reboots. Very frustrating!

15

I had a lot of dashboard warning lights pop up for no reason. Took it to the dealer, and they couldn’t find anything wrong. Anyone else had this happen?

16

Absolutely! I had the same dashboard lights on and it was both annoying and confusing. No real solutions offered.

17

The Bluetooth connectivity is a nightmare! Sometimes my phone doesn’t connect at all. Anyone found a fix for that?

18

I feel your pain! I had to reset my phone several times to reconnect. There really should be a better solution.

I wonder if there’s a common root cause for all these electrical issues. Seems like the Verano has some inherent problems.

I think you’re right. It sure feels like a systemic issue with these models.
