Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Tranmission failed after buying used at 75000 miles. i called gm and check for recall info. they advised me that the original owner brought it back after buying new and had the trans redone. every 15000 miles the transmission broke again. then it broke a third time. fortunatley i had the extended warrenty and didnt have to pay the 2nd and third times. thought it was the transmission place but after readind other complaints i see its the vehicle. when is gm going to fix this problem when someone dies> when you lose the gear there is a dramatic decline in speed and its hard to steer. feels like the antilock system kicks in. i should know it has happened 3 times to me. now im stuck with this junk.*ak
