VF Storm wagon transmission problem

Answered by CarsGuide 24 Oct 2014

Without actually driving the car it's hard to say what could be causing then problem, but it sure sounds like an issue with the transmission. I would have a transmission expert drive the car for you, he should be able to tell you if it is the auto or not. Refunds are almost unheard of in this country; our consumer laws are pathetically weak. In fairness Holden has tried to fix it, but having failed, I would enlist the help of your state consumer affairs people.

Holden Commodore 2013: Jumping out of gear

Answered by CarsGuide 20 Jun 2014

The problem is more likely to be with the clutch rather than the gearbox, and the dealer has tried to adjust the clutch cable. Given that the car is so new the best course of action is to persist with the dealer and push to have him fix it. If he says he can't fix it then ask him to call in his local service rep to get factory help.

Holden Commodore: Oil consumption

Answered by CarsGuide 21 Jun 2013

Yours is not the only report we have had, we believe that oil consumption is a serious issue with the Holden V6 and something must be done about it. To say that the consumption you report is within Holden's specification is ludicrous. We have contacted Holden in an effort to confirm there is a solution being worked on.

Commodore V6 oil burning

Answered by CarsGuide 14 Jun 2013

Using 5-7 litres per 15,000 km is certainly not normal. Like you I would not expect to have to add oil between services. Ramp up you anger and demand the engine on your car be rebuilt or replaced.

Holden Commodore: Ignition coils failing

Answered by CarsGuide 3 May 2013

It's not that unusual for a coil to fail, but to repeatedly fail like that is unusual and I would be looking for issues other than the coil. The most common issue is the crank angle sensor; it would be worth making sure all is well with that.
