NHTSA Complaint #10174280 — 2001 CHEVROLET IMPALA

MY VEHICLE HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION RUNNING ROUGH, NEARLY STALLING, AND A 0742 CODE BEING ACTIVATED. THE CAR HAS 123,000 MILES ON IT, SO IT IS WELL OUT OF WARRANTY. A LOCAL TRANSMISSION SHOP STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REBUILT AND QUOTED A PRICE OF $1400 TO REBUILD THE TRANSMISSION. I KNOW THAT THE CAR HAS A GREAT DEAL OF MILEAGE ON IT, BUT I EXPECT A LITTLE BIT MORE FOR THE MONEY I PAID FOR THE CAR. AFTER LOOKING ON THIS WEB SITE AT THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS AND PROBLEMS PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THIS CAR/TRANSMISSION, AND SEEING THAT THE 4T65E TRANSMISSION IS USED IN OVER 20 GM CARS, WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT GM TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THIS BEFORE IT COSTS THE AMERICAN PUBLIC THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS? ANYTHING YOU CAN DO TO PUSH GM TO MAKE THIS PROBLEM RIGHT WOULD BE APPRECIATED. IF YOU CANNOT THE ONLY THING I WILL DO IS BUY JAPANESE.*JB
