Automatic Transmission problems of the 1999 Chevrolet S10

A check engine soon service light on the dash board came on. I had it checked and found out the code was 1870, a transmission code. I called several transmission shops and they all stated that the problem is generally the aluminum valve body has worn and needs to have a steel sleeve repair kit installed. It cost me $265. I believe this is a design flaw and should be looked into. Just call any of the transmission shops and see how many of the valve bodies have been replaced on the 1999 chevy s-10. Mine is an automatic with a 4 cylinder engine.

This is pathetic. . . I have a 1999 chevy s-10 e-cab 4cyl automatic. Pulled out of the driveway, and the truck started to shake something fierce. The transmission went out. . . I only have 3 gears and can't go above 40mph before I have nothing. The truck only has 64000 miles on it. . . And of course the extended warranty I bought is out. . . Thanks gm. Seems this is all to common from all the mechanics I've talked to on this type of vehicle. Now I'm looking at a minimum of $1200, and that's only because it's a friend of a friend. How can they not make a vehicle these days that doesn't last 100,000 miles? guess they figured it out in japan. . . Here in America they think about the almighty bottom dollar. . . Not giving the cusumer a great car to buy. . . At least one that lasts.

Vehicle stopped on interstate rt. 81 nearest exit altmar, NY. Transmission ceased.

1) one morning, I got to work and opened the 3rd door to get my work related items out. After work when I was going home, the 3rd door would not open. The handle would move, but would not open the door. Hertiage said that the bolts were not tightened correctly at the factory. On 23 July, this problem was repaired. 2) when I have the air conditioning on, the automatic transmission does not shift smoothly. It sounds as if the engine is being maxed out. It takes longer for the transmission to "kick in". To me, it doesn't sound right. Thank you!.
