| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We are buying a 2000 chevrolet silverado 2500. we have had the transmission replaced once, and it is having problems again! we've taken it in to the dealer, who says there is nothing wrong with it. they also said this twice before the transmission went out the first time. now it's acting up again, and they say there is nothing wrong. i'm sure it will go out again, it's just a matter of time. i also know someone with 2002 chevy truck, and they have had their transmission either checked or replaced already. my concern is that the transmissions being used are not heavy-duty enough to last. i'm worried, because our extended warranty is running low, and i just know that the transmission will go out after the warranty is up. if the transmissions being used are not the correct one for this truck, i think a recall should be issued. it is not fair for the buyers to be stuck with this problem. check the stats at your dealerships... i'm willing to bet that there are a lot of trucks being looked at for this same problem. also, when we took the truck in the last time, we noticed a difference in power. it seems that the truck does not have the power it had before, especially when towing or loaded. we are wondering if the dealer could have "turned the engine down" to compensate for the transmission? if so, this is still not fair, because we bought that truck for it's power, not to have it turned down just to make the transmission last. please advise us on what we can do. again, if you check the dealerships, i'll bet you'll find a lot of trucks being serviced for this problem. thank you, [xxx]*ak ('parts of this document have been redacted to protect personally identifiable information pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).')*jb |
