Consumer Description

WE HAVE HAD NUMEROUS ELECTRICAL AND MECHANICAL PROBLEMS. THE FAN MOTOR CONTROL MODULE WHEN OUT,THEN THE MODULE THAT CONTROLS THE FUEL INDICATOR AND DISPLAY WENT BAD. NOW LESS THAN 6 MONTHS LATER THE TRANSMISSION HAS GONE BAD. IT IS ONLY WORKING IN 2 & 3. NO OVERDRIVE OR FIRST. THIS LAST PROBLEM SUDDENLY STARTED ON 7/17/11. OUR MECHANIC CAME AND CHECKED IT OUT (HE DID NOT WANT US TO DRIVE IT) AND SAID THE TRANSMISSION WAS ONLY WORKING IN SECOND AND THIRD AND WE SHOULD NOT DRIVE IT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED OR REPAIRED. WE ARE STILL PAYING FOR THIS CAR AND FOR THE LAST REPAIRS ON THIS CAR. I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS AND SERVICE BULLETINS ON THIS PROBLEM AND THE PROBLEM WITH THE GAS GAUGE. HAS THERE BEEN ANY RECALLS OR ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF THESE PROBLEMS BY GM? *KB
