Online Petition to GM about 2nd gear grind
http://www.petitiononline.com/f23f35/petition.html
I think this would be invaluable to all the people that have had 2nd gear grinding or breaking issues to submit to the stealerships about this "supposed" abuse or "working as intended" crap. Goal here is to see to what extent and how many people have come across this problem with the f23 f35 transmissions. (yea i screwed up the other one and stated f25 but you get the idea).
nominated for sticky to present to dealerships.
modified for 3rd and 4th gears as well

Typo!!!
"Now four years deep into the manufacturing of the Cobalt, the problem is still occurring on new cars. All the while General Moters Service and our local dealers deny any knowledge of this glaring transmission problem that plagues this car."
But yeah I get bad grind when going to 3rd as well..

This is soooo going to GM. I have a couple of lawyers/contract specialists that are high up on the food chain with them so im sure it will get some exposure.

Then yup.. I get it as well. I have never heard it grind but it feels notchy sometimes going into gears (especially 3rd and 5th) and sometimes its hard to get into Reverse.

You will be fine imo. Anyone know what kind of time-frame (on average) a dealership takes to complete the fix?
I sent the car to the dealership tuesday at lunch and replicated the issue for them. They are starting tear-down today (thursday for later reference).
