Description of the problem | Soon after purchasing my 2010 chevrolet traverse in january of 2017, i brought it to a transmission specialist to have it serviced. They indicated that it was about to fail and it needed major work. I contacted a local gm dealer to see if there were any recalls and to see if i should have it serviced by gm staff. They said that there were no recalls and i should have the transmission specialist, buffomatic transmission service, do the work. I did so and buffomatic found that the transmission wave plate had failed causing other components to also fail costing me $4860. 00. I did some research, which was confirmed by buffomatic, that this wave plate problem is common in gm transmissions and a recall has been issued on other gm models but not the traverse. I sent requests to both the dealer and gm directly that this recall be extended to my traverse. Both denied my request. I am therefore appealing to nhtsa that gm be required to honor the wave plate recall and refund me the $4860. 00 i paid for the transmission repairs. Thank you. |
