“Transmission failled at 119461 reverse reaction drum out like alot of these models this year cost1945 to repair. Then, at 127892 the park neutral switch out/ anti lock light stays on ,turn signal switch doesn't work , air conditioner doesn't work, front rotors on car have to be special ordered because hubs machined short, and Chevrolet has no recalls on any of it. Lots of people have problems with transmission, and some of the others to guess we will never buy another genral motors vehicle, and recomend that they wouldn't neither.”
NHTSA complaint #10029221, filed 2003-07, 119,461 miles“The reverse reaction shaft failed while accelerating to highway speed. The vehicle was no longer under warranty. I've been told by a number of mechanics that this is an extremely common problem in this vehicle, though I was not aware of it at the time of purchase. I think this defect needs to be investigated, and those that paid for costly repairs should be completely reimbursed.”
NHTSA complaint #728783, filed 2000-08“Got in the vehicle one morning and it wouldn't go over 25 MPH. Vehicle had no warranty and was not yet paid for. Dealer wanted an extreme amount to fix transmission. Took car to aamco, technician said they found a bunch of metal shavings and everything had to be rebuilt. My friend and I bought the same vehicle from the same dealer at the same time. A month after I had my transmission fixed, he was going down the highway and lost speed. Found he could not go over 25mph. He drove straight to johnny londoff and traded it in on a blazer. …”

NHTSA complaint #700775, filed 1998-11“I understand this is a common problem in this model car. If this is such a big issue with this part why has GM not made a recall? This is a bad design by manufactures engineering. To replacement or fix this problem is very expensive to do. It would be nice for the manufacture to own up to a bad design.”
