POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
MY CAMARO HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP PRESENTING THE P1870 TRANSMISSION CODE APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES. THE DEALER HAS PERFORMED OVER 2000 WARRANTIED MAJOR WORK ON THE TRANSMISSION PRIOR TO 36000 MILES. I AM STILL HAVING REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND HAVE LOOKED UP THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ONLY TO FIND THAT THERE ARE MANY REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION-AUTOMATIC AND THE COMPUTER PRESENTING THE P1870 CODE. I AM REPEATEDLY TOLD THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS STILL COMING ON INDICATING TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE. I HAVE CONTACT GM WITH NO REPLY. YOU WOULD THINK AFTER PERFORMING $2500 WORTH OF USELESS REPAIR WORK THAT THEY WOULD HAVE PUT IN A REBUILT TRANSMISSION OR OFFERED HELP TO ME IN ANOTHER WAY. IT IS SLOWLY BECOMING A SAFETY AND PUNITIVE MATTER TO ME.*AK
