Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. AFTER HIGHWAY DRIVING, THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT ENGAGE IN 2ND OR 3RD GEAR. NO ERROR MESSAGE OR WARNING APPEARS. THIS NEARLY CAUSED AN ACCIDENT WHEN THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT AN INTERSECTION. I BOUGHT THE TRUCK IN JULY TO ASSIST W/RESCUES AND CANNOT PUT THE ANIMALS OR MYSELF AT RISK. CHEVROLET IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE; THE LOCAL CHEVY DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE SEEN IT OFTEN; MY PERSONAL MECHANIC HAS SEEN IT OFTEN. CHEVROLET ASKED ME TO TAKE IT TO THEIR DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THE DIAGNOSTICS RUN. $90 AND CONFIRMATION TRANSMISSION NEEDED. NOW THEY WANT ME TO PAY $2,500 TO HAVE A NEW TRANSMISSION PUT IN BY THEIR DEALERSHIP, THEN DISCUSS ANY REIMBURSEMENT. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS "KNOWN" DEFECT AND CHEVROLET DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE REPLACEMENT TRANSMISSION WILL NOT DO THE SAME. IT APPEARS A DEATH WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE CHEVROLET TAKES RESPONSIBILITY, THEN THEY CAN DEAL WITH A CLASS ACTION SUIT. *NM
