Ignition system failed twice. When this happens the transmission does not shift properly, and remains in 2nd gear. The speedomoter doesn't work and the brakes lock up. The shift indicator light also goes out. I contacted two local GM dealers. Both machanics knew exactly what was wrong, as they have many come in larely with this same problem. They knew the exact price and time it takes to put the part in because they have done so many of them lately. In fact, one of the mechanics replied that he is surprised they haven't recalled this part yet. He's replaced so many of them.

Tranmission replaced by pitre, under warranty. Second transmission failed this summer. Reason? cracked housing. Nothing wrong with mechanical. I contacted GM and they would do nothing.
