| The only reason i am submitting this is that i know of 3 other monte carlos in this area with the same problem. gm does not want to re-issue a full warrenty on the repaired part. we stood our ground with them and got a 50,000 mile warrenty in writing from the dealership, but only after telling them i would contact the attorney generals office...which i did anyway. seems this is a problem they are aware of and are trying to keep it quiet. people should know that they need to argue with the dealer for a good warrenty. | |||

| Transmission. complained to dealer at 71000 miles said nothing wrong. i requested change of transaxles fluid at that time. brought back to dealership at 78000 miles dealer stated a bit low on fluid. at this time i was hearing a whinnying noise. presently, at 88000 miles i went to dealer, service mgr. test drove and said vehicle was shifting into all 4 gears, and to bring to 2 reputable transmission shops and both state i have no 4th gear! also, well known transmission problems with these gm transmissions. a new transmission at 88000 miles is unacceptable! of course my warranty ran out 1 month to the day! gm should be ashamed. this chevy has been an absolute nightmare! *jb | |||
