Consumer Description

BACK IN DECEMBER 2012 MY CAR HAVE NOT BEEN DRIVING CORRECTLY. I TOOK IT TO THE BEHLMANN GMC DEALERSHIP AND THEY STATED EVERYTHING WAS FINE. IN JAN I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND INFORMED THEM THAT MY CAR HAD STILL NOT BEEN DRIVING CORRECTLY ON THAT SAME VISIT I HAD THEM DO A DIAGNOSTIC AND BEHLMANN STATED THAT THE MACHINE DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING TRANSMISSION WISE THAT WAS WRONG. NOW THAT IT IS APRIL MY CAR IS FEELING LIKE ITS GETTING WORSIER AND WORSIER AND I TOOK IT TO AUTOZONE AND ALSO ANOTHER CAR SHOP AND HAD THEM PUT THE CAR ON THE MACHINE. BOTH PLACES ARE SAYING THE ERROR IS SAYING MY TRANSMISSION IS SLIPPING AND MY TRANSMISSION FLUID IS BURNING. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED BECAUSE WHILE MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY WHICH EXPIRED NOT TO LONG AGO I WAS GETTING THE RUN AROUND SAYING THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FINE WHEN ALL ALONG IT WAS INDEED DAMAGING. *TR
