The automatic transmission on our Montana failed without warning and now needs to be replaced to the tune of $2500. I was directed to this site and see numerous transmission failures on various model year Montana/transsports. Why is there no recall on these" this vehicle was never used for towing, on hilly areas, etc. Essentially a typical usage of some city, some highway. Only 68,000 miles and now this"
