POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE HAD FOUR (4) TRANSMISSIONS FAIL IN 77,000 MILES. THEY ALL HAVE FAILED DUE TO THE COOLING SYSTEM BECOMING CLOGGED, CAUSING THE TRANSMISSION TO OVERHEAT. THE ORIGINAL TRANSMISSION FAILED AT 35,000 MILES. THREE OTHERS HAVE FAILED SINCE THAT TIME. THE FIRST THREE FAILED WHILE TRAVELING AT NORMAL HIGHWAY SPEEDS AND NOT TOWING ANYTHING. THE MOST RECENT FAILURE OCURRED WHILE PULLING A SMALL TRAVEL TRAILER ON FLAT INTERSTATE HIGHWAY IN SOUTHERN ARIZONA. CHEVROLET CONTINUES TO PUT IN NEW TRANSMISSIONS AND CLEAR THE COOLING SYSTEM. HOWEVER, THE TRANSMISSIONS CONTINUE TO BURN UP. CHEVROLET HAS TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION FAILURES ARE NOT RELATED AND HAS REFUSED TO PROVIDE ME WITH A FINAL LASTING FIX TO THE PROBLEM.*AK
