7000 mi Transmission "lugs" after slowing/braking from speed >45, the attempting to lightly accelerate. Acts like a manual transmission does when your in to high of a gear for speed you're going. Advisor from Chevrolet instructed local tech to replace a seal on a valve in transmission to fix low speed lugging issue. Repair reduced lugging issues by 90%, but still occurs at lesser frequency. Dealership did great job locating part.
