Consumer was driving in hot weather and whenever air conditioner was running, transmission failed intermittently. Did not shift into first gear when consumer was stopping. When starting vehicle again, vehicle would start in third gear. Also, when taking off, there was no acceleration, and vehicle felt like it was just rolling. Could be considered a safety problem.
1993 Chevrolet Astro transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 20 of 20, newest first, as owners wrote them.
The vehicle won't get out of park position, but it would lunge forward into gear which may cause an accident. Mfr had a recall #93c56. Recall has been modified to this vehicle. Problem is reoccurring. Please provide further information.
Transmission sounded like it was full of rocks for a short while, kind of caused the van to jerk like the clutch was slipping, then would not shift at all, would not move forward or backward, just like being in neutral in all ranges. Cut off engine, checked for transmission, still full and red, got back in started up and van drove off. Seemed to shift normally, then came to a red light and the van did not want to move anymore. Cut off, let set for few minutes, started and drove off. Van will drive in a steady speed state for 5 miles or so and acts like clutch begins to slip and then like being put in neutral. It will not pull. When going up a bridge or steep incline, the cruise control tries to kick down a gear, it then acts like transmission goes into neutral and engine races. Almost got caught on a bridge coming home didn't think it was going to pull over it. Very scarey!!!
