Consumer Description

I AM UNSURE OF THE ENGINE QUESTION. THE INFORMATION THAT I HAVE IS THAT IT IS A 4.3 LITER V6. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURED 3 TIMES . IT HAS OCCURRED APPROXIMATLY EVERY 15000 MILES. THE FIRST 2 TIMES THE TRANSMISSION LINES HAVE BEEN REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY. I HAVE YET TO GET IT REPLACED THIS TIME FOR I AM STILL INVESTIGATING MY WARRANTY COVERAGE AND THIS RECENT OCCURENCE. OBVIOUSLY, SOMETHING IN THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE OR THE LINE IS DEFECTIVE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO SEVERAL MECHANICS ( DEALER & PRIVATE BUSINESSES), ALL SAY THAT THIS IS A PART THAT SHOULD NEVER BREAK, AND ARE SURPRISED THAT IT HAS. ANY INFORMATION YOU CAN PROVIDE WOULD BE EXTREMELY HELPFUL AND APPRECIATED. THANK YOU, T. MUIR. *AK
