I PURCHASED THIS 1995 CHEVROLET Z71 IN MARCH OF 1996 WITH 19,000 MILES ON IT, AS GOOD JUDGEMENT ON MY PART I PURCHASED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. APPROX 1 YEAR AND 57,000 MILES LATER THE TRANSMISSION WENT OUT, ALMOST CAUSING ME TO GET REAR-ENDED. LUCKILY NO ONE GOT HURT. GM/CHEVROLET DEALER(ATZENHOFFER, VICTORIA TX.) WARRANTIED THE REPAIR OF THE TRANSMISSION. APPROX. JAN 2003 AT 175,000 MILES THE TRANSMISSION GOES OUT AGAIN WITH ANOTHER NEAR MISS, THIS TIME SEVERAL OF THE TRANS PAN BOLTS BACKEDOUT AND CAUSED FLUID TO LEAK OUT AND STOP ALL FORWARD MOTION IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSEY INTERSECTION. I AM AFRAID TO CONTACT THE DEALER DUE TO A CONSTANT RATION OF CRAP, WHEN THE FIRST TRANNY WENT OUT, THEN WHEN THE WIPER MOTOR WENT OUT(A RECALL). *AK

Reading this record

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Most recent recall on file: none. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
