Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: The july 2002 failure (first of two) of the 2001 astro awd transmission was fully covered by the warranty. i bought the vehicle used with 8000 miles in february 2001. it had been purchased new in august 2000. i drove it for 16000 miles in 16 months (24000 odo), and the transmission would not go into reverse or 3rd gear. the dealer repaired the transmission and gave a one year/12000 mile warranty on their work. unfortunately the repaired transmission is now slipping in 3rd and i am afraid to drive it. it is over one year since the july 2002 fix, but i have just driven it over 11000 miles (35000 odo). i have not yet contacted the dealer, but i fear that the response will be isn't that just too bad
