Consumer Description

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 1998 GMC SURBURBAN FAILED. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER AND ANOTHER TRANSMISSION SPECIALIST THAT THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM HAS BEEN COMMON TO THE 1997-98 GMC AND CHEVROLET SURBURBANS, TAHOES AND COMPARABLE VEHICLES. IT IS NOT FAIR TO CONSUMERS FOR AN AUTO MAKER TO KNOW ABOUT SEVERE PROBLEMS LIKE THIS WITH VEHICLES AND NOT ISSUE A RECALL OR CORRECT THE PROBLEM. OF THE 86 COMPLAINTS LISTED ON YOUR WEBSITE FOR THIS MODEL, 7 INVOLVED AND OTHERS INVOLVED THE DRIVETRAIN WHICH CAN BE AN ASSOCIATED PROBLEM.
