NHTSA Complaint #10071157 — 2001 CHEVROLET ASTRO

THE JULY 2002 FAILURE (FIRST OF TWO) OF THE 2001 ASTRO AWD TRANSMISSION WAS FULLY COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED WITH 8000 MILES IN FEBRUARY 2001. IT HAD BEEN PURCHASED NEW IN AUGUST 2000. I DROVE IT FOR 16000 MILES IN 16 MONTHS (24000 ODO), AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE OR 3RD GEAR. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE TRANSMISSION AND GAVE A ONE YEAR/12000 MILE WARRANTY ON THEIR WORK. UNFORTUNATELY THE REPAIRED TRANSMISSION IS NOW SLIPPING IN 3RD AND I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. IT IS OVER ONE YEAR SINCE THE JULY 2002 FIX, BUT I HAVE JUST DRIVEN IT OVER 11000 MILES (35000 ODO). I HAVE NOT YET CONTACTED THE DEALER, BUT I FEAR THAT THE RESPONSE WILL BE ISN'T THAT JUST TOO BAD
