| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: At less than 70,000 miles i had to replace the transmission on my 1997 chev ext-cab 4 wheel drive truck. that was in september of 2000. no real explanation for the reason it went out. they calim miles driven. the previous year, june 1999, with less than 50,000 miles on the truck, they took the transmission out and tore it apart to find out what was causing a slipping problem. they finally settled on a valve that had gone bad. one week later they had to replace the same valve again. in 2000, i thought the transmission my of had a problem due to the service people taking the transmission apart the previous year. they denied that was the problem. we had to purchase a brand new transmission for 2200.00. this came with a 3 year 50,000 mile warrenty. after 30,000 miles the brand new transmission went out. this happened march 13, 2002. the truck was given back to us on march 18th. it still is not running correctly so we took it back on march 21st. miller chev still has the truck. they now say it is a defective new transmission that they put in. my question is why should a truck with about 100,000 miles on it have to go through two transmission already!!! are chevrolet's transmission's defective in some way. now if they fix this with a brand new transmission why is it that the warrenty on it is only good for the remainder of the warrenty that we last bought in 9/2000? that leave 20,000 miles to go. with chevrolet's transmission record, some how i have a feeling that this new one will go out on us also.*ak |
