Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE SLIPPED OUT OF DRIVE AND BY THE TIME I GOT HOME REVERSE WAS GONE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP, SUNSHINE CHEVY IN ASHEVILLE NC, AND IT WAS ONLY ONE MONTH OUT OF WARRANTY. THEY TRIED TO SELL ME A NEW TRANSMISSION FOR $6,000.00 THEN AFTER MUCH FIGHTING ONLY CHARGED A WARRANTY DEDUCTABLE (NEVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING) OF $500.00. IT HAS BEEN FIVE MONTHS AND THIS NEW TRANSMISSION IS NOW DOING THE SAME THING! THIS CAR IS A DEATH TRAP. IT ROLLS BACKWARDS WHEN IT IS IN DRIVE, THEY HAVE SINCE CLAIMED IT IS A DESIGN FLAW AND NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY. IT IS LIKE DRIVING A STRAIGHT DRIVE, YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE UNTIL YOU ACCELERATE. I LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS AND IT IS A HUGE PROBLEM. THERE IS ALSO AN SEAT BELT RECALL THAT THEY HAVE NOT FIXED YET. I HAVE HAD IT IN FOR A TIMING CHAIN RECALL, AND AIR BAGS, PLUS THREE OTHERS SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD WHEN I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IT HAD 10 YEARS ON THE POWER TRAIN, IS THE TRANSMISSION NOT A PART OF THAT? I HAVE OVER 25 COMPLAINTS FOR THIS SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUE AND I AM GATHERING MORE. HOW DO WE GET THIS VEHICLE RECALLED?
