Consumer Description

THERE IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH GM AND CHEVROLET TRUCK TRANSMISSIONS. HARD SHIFTING IS EXPERIENCED FOLLOWED BY " ENGINE LIGHT ON PANEL. A CODE 0F 1870 IS REPORTED WHEN IT IS SERVICED. I HAVE HAD THE DEALER LOOK AT THIS SEVERAL TIMES AND THERE APPEARS TO BE NO WAY TO FIX IT. I HAVE HEARD OF MANY PEOPLE PAYING $3000 FOR REBUILT TRTANSMISSIONS AND THE PROBLEM STIL IS NOT CORRECTED. GM HAS BEEN CONTACTED BUT WILL NOT RESPOND. *AK
