Consumer Description

AS I ACCELERATED FROM A STOPPED POSITION THE VEHICLE BECAME UNDRIVABLE. THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE COMPLETELY REBUILT. PLANETARY FAILED AS WELL AS OTHER BROKEN PARTS. I STILL HAVE THE RECEIPT FROM COTTMAN'S TRANSMISSION FOR $3K. THE TRANSMISSION WAS WARRANTIED FOR 3 YR. IT HAS BEEN 5, AND THE TRANSMISSION HAS AGAIN FAILED. PLANETARY AGAIN BROKEN. VEHICLE NOW HAS 150,000 MI. I THINK IT IS ABSURD THAT THERE HAS BEEN NOTHING DONE BY NHTSA. NO RECALLS, COST ASSISTANCE, OR EVEN AN INVESTIGATION. CONSIDERING THE NUMBER OF COMPLAINTS, ACTION SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN LONG AGO. EVEN GM ADMITS PROBLEMS IN SOME OF IT'S BULLETINS. WHY ARE YOU DOING NOTHING ABOUT THIS.
