POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I WENT TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN REVERSE THIS MORNING AND IT MADE A WHINNYING NOISE AND WOULDN'T MOVE. I THOUGHT MAYBE A HAD A TOY UNDER THE CAR THAT WAS MAKING THAT NOISE. SO I SHUT THE CAR OFF TURNED IT BACK AND STILL SAME NOISE WHEN I WENT TO BACK UP. THIS IS A 2002 WITH UNDER 60,000 MILES AND HAS TRANSMISSION TROUBLE. SAME AS THAT OTHER COMPLAINTS I'VE READ ON HERE. BOOK SAYS TRANSMISSION SERVICE WHEN 100,000 MILES AND I DON'T BELIEVE THERE SHOULD BE SO MANY PROBLEMS WITH A VEHICLE WITH LOW MILES AND AS MANY COMPLAINTS AS THERE HAS BEEN GM SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT AND THINK ABOUT A RECALL. I RUN A DAYCARE AND SOMETIMES HAVE 5 KIDS IN THE CAR EXPLAIN THAT TO THE PARENTS IF THEY WOULD HAVE BEEN HURT. IT TIME FOR GM TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT. *JB
