| Just found this web site, so submitting complaint since i cannot make progress with dealer... have a 2000 s10 truck that i bought new and have taken very good care of it. starting in 2004 automatic transmission started no shifting correctly. when at highway speeds it will not downshift correctly until you come to a complete stop. when it happens floor boards get very hot and heat up cabin. the check engine light comes on. dealership reads the code and says we can rebuild for $2300 or put a remanufactured one for $2600. they told me they do not repair the specific problem as they are only trained to do the complete rebuild. the truck only had 50,000 miles when this started and still a new truck to me, even though warranty has expired. i am quite disappointed to spend $20k on a new truck only to have transmission go so quickly. and the warranty on a new one is only 60k miles, which appears to be the life of it anyway. and each time this happens, engine light comes on and have to pay dealer $80 to have code cleared. cannot get yearly safety inspection with check engine light on..a real expense and hassle. resale value is so low now with trans problem that it just sits in the driveway. i have since bought a newer vw that i am happy with. i will not be buying another chevrolet again. i have seen many other people with the trans problems but gm will not pay or recall the vehicles to have fixed. *nm | |||
