problem #1

Jul 172000

Suburban

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
The front brakes of the Suburban has been replaced for the second time with raybestos (lifetime wear) brake shoes. My transmission started shifting very hard, as if someone had rearended the truck at a slow speed. I took it to aamco transmission's for repears. Aamco rebuilt the transmission, but did'nt fix the problem. After $2200 and the fifth attemt to fix the problem I took it to a GMC dealer and they actually fixed the problem the first time for $308.
