I BOUGHT EXTENDED WARRANTY WHEN I BOUGHT TRUCK. IN MAY 2003 TRANSMISSION STARTED TO GO AND WAS TOLD BY DUTTON MOTORS IN RIVERSIDE THAT GMPP WAS NOT GOING TO PAY THE CLAIM BECAUSE WE MISSINSTALLED A TRANSMISSION FILTER. APPROVED DUTTON TO FIX CAR AND FIND OUT THEY NEVER PUT IN A CLAIM TO GMPP. CALLED DUTTON TO SEE WHY AND THEY ENDED UP HAVING GMPP ADJUSTER OUT WHEN TRUCK WAS ALREADY FIXED. GMPP DENIED CLAIMING WRONG FILTER INSTALLED. WE WERE TOLD BY DUTTON FILTER WAS INSTALLED WRONG. TWO DIFFERENT STORIES. WE PAID TO HAVE TRUCK FIXED BUT COMPLAINED ON CUSTOMER SATISFACTION CARD. NEVER HEARD FROM GM AGAIN. JULY 2003 EXACTLY TWO MONTHS AFTER LAST REBUILD. MY KIDS AND I WERE IN CARPOOL LANE GOING 70MPH WHEN TRANNY SOUNDS LIKE IT SUCKED UP A THOUSAND COINS. ALMOST IN CAR WRECK WHEN I PULL OVER AND GET OFF FREEWAY. TOW TRUCK TAKES TO DUTTON BECAUSE THEY DID ORIGINAL WORK. TOOK TWO WEEKS TO DIAGNOSE PROBLEM AND TOLD IT WAS SOMETHING COMPLETELY DIFFERENT THAN LAST REBUILD AND THAT GMPP WOULD BE PAYING FOR IT. ADJUSTER AGAIN CAME OUT & DENIED CLAIM. THEY SAY THAT SOMEONE HAD TO HAVE SHIFTED INTO PARK WHILE TRUCK STILL MOVING. DUTTON CLAIMS THAT GMPP NEVER DENIES CLAIMS BUT THEY HAVE DENIED ME TWICE. I HAVE LOST TIME FROM WORK. $5000 FOR REPAIRS AND RENTAL CAR, STRESS, ETC... WHEN WARRANTY WAS SOLD TO US IT DID NOT MENTION ANYTHING ABOUT NOT COVERING THESE TYPE OF THINGS. I HAVE ORIGINAL EVERYTHING FROM PAMPHLET TO ALL INVOICES OF REPAIRS. I CAN NOT AFFORD THESE REPAIRS AND NEED HELP!!

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.
