1 Gasoline Engine problem

Failure Date: 08/15/2006

For the second time my 1999 chevy s-10 pickup has been taken to the transmission shop because I have lost second gear and reverse. This is a costly repair, the first time it cost me $1,600. 00 to replace a $44. 00 part because the whole transmission had to be overhauled. The transmission in the chevy is made with inferior parts and should be recalled to have all the gears replaced. I have also had to replace both front wheel hubs and a motor. The s1-s of this era need to be investigated and the consumer should be protected!!.
