THE DEALER STATED THAT THE REVERSE DRUM IN TRANSMISSION CAME APART.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT 15-20 MPH AND WITHOUT WARNING FRONT LEFT WHEEL CAME OFF OF THE AXLE, WAS ABLE TO PREVENT AN ACCIDENT. DEALER HAS BEEN NOTIFIED.*AK

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.*AK

WHILE DRIVING 25MPH AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN BALL JOINT BROKE, AND THE AXLE FELL OFF VEHICLE. DEALER SAID BALL JOINT AND AXLE HAVE TO BE REPLACED.*AK

TRANSMISSION BLEW WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE. METAL PIECES FLEW EVERYWHERE. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING. VEHICLE STOPPED IN MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. HAD MANAGED TO GET VEHICLE TO DEALERSHIP, AND WAS INFORMED BY MECHANIC THAT TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. WAS NOT REPAIRABLE.*AK

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. MY NEIGHBOR STARTED HAVING TROUBLE WITH HIS 95 MONTE CARLO LATER THAT SAME YEAR. NONE OF US HAD RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE YET ALL THREE TRANSMISSIONS WENT OUT. NO EXPLANATION FOR THE METAL SHAVING EXCEPT FOR SIMILAR INSTANCES I'VE READ ON THE INTERNET FROM CHEVROLET'S SURVEY RESULTS. I RECENTLY BOUGHT NEW TIRES AND WAS COMPLAINING TO THE MECHANIC ABOUT THE PROBLEMS I'VE HAD WITH THE CAR, MAINLY THE TRANSMISSION, HE SAID HE HAD SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME THING AND THOUGHT IT WAS RECALLED. HE PULLED UP A RECALL CAMPAIGN # 94068 FOR THE HYDRA-MATIC 4T60-E TRANSAXLE FOR 1995 CHEVY LUMINAS AND MONTE CARLOS. THE RECALL CAME OUT IN OCTOBER OF 1994. HE ALSO GAVE ME A LIST OF TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS THAT DESCRIBE THE SAME BEHAVIOR WITH METAL SHAVINGS. I CONTACTED GM AND THEY FOUND THE CAMPAIGN BUT TOLD ME I WOULD HAVE TO CALL THE DEALER TO SEE IF MY VIN# QUALIFIED FOR THE RECALL. I GOT HOME THAT EVENING AND HAD A MESSAGE ON THE MACHINE TO CALL GM CUSTOMER SERVICE REGARDING MY EARLIER CALL. I RETURNED THEIR CALL AND THEY CONTACTED THE DEALER FOR ME. THE DEALER RAN MY VIN# ON THE VISS SYSTEM AND SAID MY VEHICLE HAD NO ACTIVE RECALLS ON IT. SO MY VEHICLE WASN'T MANUFACTURED AT THE SAME PLACE THAT THE OTHERS THAT WERE RECALLED WERE, BUT TWO OTHER PEOPLE ENCOUNTERED THE SAME PROBLEM AS I HAD WITHOUT BEING PART OF THE RECALL. I DON'T KNOW WHERE MY VIN SAYS MY TRANSMISSION WAS MADE BUT I THINK THEY ALL SHOULD BE CHECKED OUT

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.

A DEFECTIVE DRUM AND 2ND CLUTCH HOUSING IN THE TRANSMISSION IS CAUSING PREMATURE FAILURE OF TRANSMISSION. *AK
