| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: I own a 2004 pontiac grand prix gt2. i purchased the vehicle used with 12,000 miles on it. my vehicle had no previous owners except gm on the title due to its status as a demonstrator. i drove this car up until 56,487 miles when the vehicle was unable to shift properly from a stop. a severe shudder in first gear followed by a missed shift in second rendered the vehicle almost paralyzed. the vehicle was serviced at a local pontiac dealership were i was informed that the input clutch piston seal was blown out as well as severe damage to the clutches. i had no other option but to replace the entire transmission which cost me $2,690.00. my vehicle has the 4t65e automatic transmission which is common among gm 3800 engine vehicles. further research has shown a common theme among these transmissions. most reports of transmission troubles involving the 4t65e claim to have shifting problems in first and second gear which seem to occur around the 60,000 mile range. *tr |
