Transmission failed. Transmission shop has seen numerous problems with 1999 GMC transmissions. They said that GMC knows that the 1999 transmission is weak. Problem started out with the car not wanting to shift into second. The car eventually lost 4th and reverse.

Paint is progressively peeling off the luggage rack. Bodyshop commented "it doesn't look like it was coated/sealed properly, this shouldn't be happening." transmission: Driving on hwy car started smoking out exhaust, exited hwy and car shifted "hard" from stop thru acceleration. Got to aamco shop, they scanned and got an "1870 code". upon inspection discovered the pump assy was "chewed up and burnt steel." fluid was being forced out the filler tube and the fluid was black. I was told there was a high danger that the fluid could have ignited. I had absolutely no warning signs that something was wrong with the transmission until the car started smoking. I am a street driver, never have towed or gone off roading in this vehicle so no undue stress or wear has been put on the trans. The response I get from the finance company and the dealer is "it's bad luck, a fluke, etc. And the car isn't under warranty." I am going to perservere in my efforts to get GM involved and hopefully they will do the right thing.
