| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: This vehicle has been a problem since we bought it. right after we bought it we heard a roar in the rear end. the rear end was replace under the 3yr/36000mile warranty. soon after that the alternator was replaced under warranty. just recently we took a trip and towed our 18ft. ski boat with us. when we returned my wife noticed a problem the next day. we had no reverse and that proved to be the transmission. we contaced the closest dealrer to us: mike morgan shreveport, la. they told us that they were so backed up with tranmission problems that it would be at least a week before they could pick up the truck to even look at it. then they would tell me what they thought. well, i paid $25,000 for a vehicle to sit with a bad transmission and they think i will let it sit while my wife and children walk!!! i don't think so! during the last of july, my brother and law and i replace the starter on this same truck to the tune of $250.00 yesterday i found a water pump leak and was told that would cost me around $200.00 to repair. oh yes, the transmission cost me $1,400.00 to repair. as you can see, i am having a ton of problems with this vehicle. gm has thumbed their nose at me and more or less said "tough luck"! well, i don't think that is fair. the transmission is what really upset me. i paid extra to have towing package on this truck and we pulled a boat 1 time and this happens. i can't beleive that this truck can't get at least 100,000 miles on the original transmission. i also have a boss that owns a 1999 suburban that had the tranmission fail on him this last friday. his truck has only 54,000 miles. well, as you can see, i think gm has a problem!!! please let me know what i can do! |
