The transmission went out about a year and a half ago, I had it fixed under warranty, and now it is leaking fluid again. I am in the military in germany, and the geraman opel dealarship said the transmission had a one year warranty, so now I have pay for it myself. The truck has very low miles for 4 years, and it's already had two transmissions go on it. I'm not very happy with the way this has all turned out, because I really do like the truck, but now I will never buy a Chevrolet again, and I have warned all my friends not to as well.
Fluid leakage in the transmission line--fluid blowing back onto muffler causing smoke. Defective brake pipe and seat belts.
