Chevrolet Cruze: Engine Light, Power Loss, and Transmission Issues

Unsteady engine

Transmission slips/shifts erratically

Loss of engine power

Check engine light on

I'm experiencing several issues with my Chevrolet Cruze. The check engine light is on, the engine is unsteady, and there's a noticeable loss of engine power. Additionally, the transmission seems to be slipping and shifting erratically. I've noticed that I can drive for a while until the engine heats up, then when I press the accelerator, it feels like I'm braking and the engine revs high. After turning off and restarting the car, it feels like it's stuck in a high gear. Has anyone else experienced these issues and can provide some insight or solutions?

Start by checking the engine oil level and condition, as low or dirty oil can cause engine performance issues. Also, inspect the transmission fluid level and condition, as this can affect shifting and cause slipping. If both fluids are fine, consider scanning for diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) to pinpoint specific issues. Let us know what you find or if you have any further questions!
