Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 1997 chevrolet tahoe transmission just failed. have no 2nd, 4th or reverse gears, always worked perfect until now. after a web search found out this problem is happening very much. sun gear shell breaking on 4l60e transmissions. there is a big defect and gm has done nothing to fix the problems to all the gm owners. seems they cut back a little much on quality control this time and don't seem to care about it from what i have seen. you probably heard about it before. please help us get this problem recalled. i have not had any repairs done yet. keep hearing $2000 to $2500 t0 fix this $40 part. dealers want to replace transmission with new one just of this porblem. does it seem right to you?*ak
