The transmission in my wife's 2002 Chevrolet Venture failed with 57,000 miles on it. The transmission was repaired, and we retained the failed parts and inspected them. The cogs in the gear appeared to have snapped off . In my experience it appeared to be a heat treatment problem causing the material to be out of the brinell/rockwell hardness range. There was no advance warning of the failure. My wife just placed the gear shift lever in drive and the vehicle would not move.
While driving at 50 mph, going on i287 north in NJ about 4:00 pm about to exit 2a, the car's engine sounded like a strong revving, and lost all power, furthermore it lost all gear, while parked on the side of the road, tried to reverse and change gears d 3 2 1 and it will not move to either direction, the transmission was blown out.
My van was driving in the cold snow on an early morning. After driving about 40 miles very slowly, my transmission ceased. When I pulled to the stop light and applied the brakes, the vehicle did not move after that. Prior to this happening I had had the vehicle into the dealer with intermittent concerns with going into reverse. Eventually the vehicle would go into reverse, but it would hop into gear.
