POWER TRAIN - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

 My vehicle's sport shifting indicator light came on about a week before the transmission failure. my car would refuse to shift out of first gear until i drove it for a few miles and/or turned the car off and restarted it. i was in a local town when the front end started to shudder and make noise. i took it to a auto transmission shop who stated the sending unit for the fluid failed and it had burned out the first gear. he stated that this was most likely a manufacture defect. i contacted gm headquarters and was refused any help in fixing the issue or resolving the issue. they stated that the problem was because it had not had a sufficient history with gm dealerships getting maintenance, and that i was the third owner. keep in mind, this transmission went out after my owning the vehicle for only 9 mos, paid 14,000.00 for the car and only has 73,000 miles on it. i now am unable to drive my car until it is fixed, which i am quoted 1500.00 for a rebuild and a year warranty that i cannot afford at this time and having to drive a very unreliable and very unsafe vehicle in the meantime. i just want my car back.
