Details

What's wrong: Affects vehicles equipped with a 6 speed automatic transmission and 1.8L four cylinder engine. In the affected vehicles, the transmission turbine shaft may fracture.

Why it matters: If the transmission turbine shaft fracture occurs during vehicle operation in first or second gear, the vehicle will not upshift to the third through sixth gears, limiting the vehicle's speed. If the fracture occurs during operation in third through sixth gear, the vehicle will coast until it slows…

The fix: Gm will notify owners, and dealers will replace the transmission turbine shaft, free of charge. The recall began on August 8, 2014.
