This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
My Camaro has been in the shop presenting the P1870 transmission code approximately 10 times. The dealer has performed over 2000 warrantied major work on the transmission prior to 36000 miles. I am still having repeated problems with the transmission and have looked up the technical service bulletins only to find that there are many regarding the transmission-automatic and the computer presenting the P1870 code. I am repeatedly told that nothing is wrong with the car and that they cannot duplicate the problem. However the service engine soon light is still coming on indicating transmission slippage. I have contact GM with no reply. You would think after performing $2500 worth of useless repair work that they would have put in a rebuilt transmission or offered help to me in another way. It is slowly becoming a safety and punitive matter to me.
Auto transmission failed at 18000 miles. Replaced N/C. failed again at 40000 miles. Replaced at N/C. failed for third time at 76800 miles. Dealer offers no assistance. Chevrolet cotacted. Csr offers no assistance and is unwilling to admit that this is a manufactures defect. Currently seeking further assistance. Dealer states that warranty on replacement trans. Is 3/50000 if customer pays for repair but only 3/36000 if dealer replaces under warranty.
Car will not start in the cold there is a clicking sound and lights flicker for a while before the engine turns over. Multiple service engine soon lights seems to be consistently happpenings with multiple problems of all kinds.
I was notified also that there are other Chevrolet have this exact same defect and it needs to be brought to the attention of the manufacturer. No safety defect mentione din summary.
The problem is the transmission is slipping bewteen gears between 50-55 and 60-65. Transmission replaced once in December. Brought it in again in January due to the same problem, and dealer said it was normal for a gradual acceleration, I must accelerate fast to not slip. Wanted to report this to determine if this is normal or if there is a problem. Dealer stated it should smooth out.
