Consumer Description

I WAS DRIVING HOME AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT FELT LIKE NO POWER WAS GETTING TO THE WHEELS. I STEPPED ON THE GAS, THE RPMS WENT UP, BUT THE TRUCK COULDNT GET PAST 30 MPH. MY MECHANIC SAID THAT THE TRANSMISSION BURNT OUT. I BABIED THIS TRUCK. THEIR IS NO REASON FOR A CHEVY TRUCK WITH 60000 MILES OF LIGHT ROAD USE SHOULD BLOW A TRANNY. A QUICK SEARCH ON THE WEB SHOWS THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS TRUCK. 3200 DOLLARS TO FIX A PART THAT SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST LASTED 100000 MILES.
