The CVT was replaced due to "internal problems". The 2015 Chevy lineup all came with 5 yr/ 100k mile factory warranty so the work was free. I bought this car with it driving weird thinking it was just the CVT, since I had never owned a car with a CVT...but it was actually it was slipping/broken. The Chevy/GMC dealership was fantastic, they gave me a loaner for free for 5 days or so and it was free. The difficult thing is I don't know how the person before me drove the car. They put 50k miles on it in 2-3 years so they drove it a lot, but I just don't know if they were hard on it. Since it's been replaced I have put 20k miles on it and have had no issues.

The coolant tank was leaking, I got a quote from the dealership that it would cost $215. So I bought the part for ~$30 on Amazon and fixed it in 20 minutes. Hasn't leaked since.
