2001 chev Impala --transmission failure after 40,000 miles due to a pressure pump being bad. Is this the cause to many reported roll backs ? did gm put inferior pumps in their transmissions to cut costs and at the consumers expense ?.
Transmission failure--2001 chevy Impala with 45,000 miles--basically no advance notice--stopped at a traffic light, depressed accelerator and transmission took awhile to engage before moving forward. Happened again at the next two (2) lights. Got car home intending to take to dealer in morning. Backed car out of garage--went 5 ft and it would not move further. Pulled forward and able to put in reverse to back out of driveway. Managed to get to dealer. Going to teardown transmission tomorrow. Should not happen on a vehicle with 45,000 miles---90,000 maybe, 45,000 no. This is my 3rd transmission failure with a gm product since 1980. Like their styling but don't know if I can continue to purchase their products.
