POWER TRAIN - AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
02/04/20071
 Two weeks ago our 4 year old 1500 express van, a conversion van, developed transmission problems. the sticker price was over $55,000. the mileage is 42,000 miles. when the chevy dealership told me that the repair cost would be over $3,000, it prompted me to call gm customer service. the result was approximately $500 off of the transmission repair, or a $1,000 buy out to be applied to a purchase of a new gm vehicle. the reason we decided to purchase our second chevy van was because we had very good luck with our 1998 van. i use the word lucky intentionally because it seems that either you are lucky to have a gm product work satisfactorily, or you end up with an unreasonable problem/cost. our current van has been a big problem having died on country roads at 39,000 miles. the cost of that repair was over $600. today, as i mentioned, we were looking a repair cost of over $3,000. all problems incurred with normal usage (no towing, only long trips, and regular 3000 mile oil changes). *jb
