Consumer Description

I OWN AN 1998 CHEVY S10 PICK-UP TRUCK. SOME TIME LAST YEAR I STARTED TO GET A P1870 TROUBLE CODE. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER I WAS TOLD THAT MY TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AT THE COST OF $2,300. AT THE TIME THE TRANSMISSION ONLY HAD 61,000 MILES ON IT. I RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM WITH THESE TRANSMISSIONS. I BELIEVE THAT GM SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS FAULTY TRANSMISSION. *JB
