I get no help from the dealer. They charged me for a new wiper motor, saying the recall was for last years model. My transmission was checked by a trans shop - they say it works fine. The dealer wants $3000 to fix it. After driving at highway speeds, and slowing back to normal stop and go driving, the vehicle bangs into second gear. If I turn the vehicle off for several seconds and back on again, the banging stops and the transmission works fine.
Both axles have failed in this vehicle. Brake failure on first occurance. Rear axles have been repaired 5 times! Chevy acknowledges engineering defect but states that warranty covers manufacturing or materials defects only. Unsuspecting owners could experience brake failure due to axle fluid contamination of brake pads.
Upon depressing the brake pedal to make a normal or graudal stop consumer noticed a very hard jerk in the vehicle. Consume contacted the dealer. Dealer stated the problem may be linked to the universal joints. Probelm still occurs. Please provide any further details.
Took vehicle in for 4-wd problem, and when vehicle was picked up it had no power steering. Dealer calims failure was due to cold weather starts. Power steering units should not fail with only 44000 miles . Could have caused serious accident if it had failed while on the road. Dealer charged $350.00 to repair and dismissed concern that this should not happen.
Transmission failed as left parking space at low speed by making a loud rattling sound. Lost power to the wheels. Dealer confirms complete transmission failure and need to replace at cost of $2,000. This vehicle has not had heavy use and should not have a transmission failure until at least 100,000 miles instead of 44,000 miles. Warranty is 36,000 and no extended warranty purchased. I have checked recall and service bulletin database and found nothing to help me negotiate with manufacturer. If you know of relevant information, please inform. Thanks.
Transmission system malfucntioned, causing the vehicle to slip into gears which may result in a crash. Please provide further information.
