Automatic Transmission problems of the 1998 Chevrolet Camaro

Three problems related to automatic transmission have been reported for the 1998 Chevrolet Camaro. The most recently reported issues are listed below.

1 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 01/21/2000

Winshield wipers occasionally failed to operate, dealer replaced module. Recall issued on the same part for the 1996 chev s10.

2 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 04/01/1999

Car has been in repair 5 times for the brakes. 2 times for a caliper bolt that fell out, and the wheel locked. Both times I could have been killed in an accident if my wheel would have locked up on the interstate. They never do anything at the dealership but turn/clean roters which become faulty again. I'm looking into sueing Chevrolet if they don't fix this defect. It is way too dangerous for something of this nature to keep occuring over and over again. Next time I might not be so lucky.

3 Automatic Transmission problem

My car has done a 'tink-tink' sound since I took it out of the dealer with only 8 miles on the odometer. Every time I put it in drive or reverse, it makes a double tink-pop from under. When you accelerate, it sounds again, and sometimes sounds as the trasmission changes gears (automatic) or you brake. I'm concerned that it could break while driving, and causing a potential hazard with a crash as it becomes undriveable.
