Consumer Description

TRANSMISSION IS FAILING. TRANSMISSION TYPE IS 6T40. IT APPEARS TO BE EITHER THE WAVE PLATE OR THE REVERSE DRUM. ACCORDING TO SEVERAL SERVICE CENTERS, THERE HAVE BEEN CONTINUING ISSUES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION AS WELL AS OTHER VERSIONS. I DO KNOW THAT CHEVY HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE DUE TO A "CONCERN" OVER THE LOWER TIMING CHAIN TENSIONER. I DO NOT KNOW WHAT PERCENTAGE OF VEHICLES NEED TO FAIL BEFORE GM WOULD BE FORCED TO DO SOMETHING BUT THEY OBVIOUSLY KNOW THERE IS AN ISSUE BECAUSE GM/DEALERSHIPS HAVE AGREED TO COVER SOME COSTS FOR CUSTOMERS THAT WERE THE ORIGINAL OWNERS AFTER 100K MILES. ACCORDING TO MY SERVICE CENTER, THE TRANSMISSIONS SEEM TO BEGIN FAILING BETWEEN 80MK AND 110K. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME, I AM 3% BEYOND BEING COVERED. *TR
