Consumer Description

STARTED TRUCK, PUT IT IN GEAR. NO REVERSE,LATE SHIFT INTO 2ND, NO OVERDRIVE. DEALER AND 2 TRANS. SHOPS SAY IT'S PROBABLY A BROKEN REVERSE BAND OR SOMETHING SIMILAR. WILL FIND OUT WHEN REPAIRS ARE MADE. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN AT 48,000 MILES. GM CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE SAYS THERE'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO, ME BEING 2ND OWNER AND MILEAGE BEING PAST THE 3YR.36,000 MI. WARRANTY.I BELIEVE GM SHOULD HELP ME DEFRAY AT LEAST PART OF THE COST. THIS IS GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE. A TRANS. FAILURE SHOULDN'T HAPPEN THIS SOON UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. OWNERS MANUAL SAYS FLUID AND FILTER DON'T EVEN NEED CHANGING AT 50,000 MI. UNLESS UNDER SEVERE CONDITIONS. I AM THOROUGHLY DISGUSTED WITH THIS AND WITH GM. THANKS FOR YOUR TIME. *AK
