POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:FOUNDATION COMPONENTS:DISC:ROTOR, SERVICE BRAKES, HYDRAULIC:ANTILOCK/TRACTION CONTROL/ELECTRONIC LIMITED SLIP
IN JULY OF 2000 I PURCHASED A 1998 CHEVROLET SILVERADO, USED, FROM A FORD DEALERSHIP. THERE WAS ONLY A 30 DAY WARRANTY. IN THE BEGINNING OF DECEMBER THE BRAKES WENT ON THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE REPLACED. ON DECEMBER 24, 2000, WITHOUT ANY NOTICE WHATSOEVER, WHILE SHIFTING THE TRUCK INTO REVERSE I NOTICED IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I PUT IT INTO DRIVE AND IT MOVED. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK LOOKED AT, IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE TRUCK WAS PURCHASED, I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD COST APPROXIMATELY $2,000.00 TO RE-BUILD THE TRANSMISSION. AFTER ONLY HAVING THE TRUCK FOR SIX MONTHS, DRIVING IT 30 MILES ROUND TRIP TO WORK, NEVER USING THE VEHICLE AS A PLOW TRUCK AND NEVER MISUSING THE VEHICLE I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW HOW A VEHICLE OF THIS YEAR COULD LOSE SUCH A MAJOR UNIT AND HAVE NO RECOURSE ON THE PART OF THE DEALERSHIP OR MANUFACTURER, THAT IT BECOME THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER TO CORRECT SUCH AN EXPENSIVE ERROR. *AK
