Transmission issues...AGAIN

I purchased my 2006 Impala in 2012 with less than 100000 miles on it...2nd hand.
After driving it about 20000 miles I had to to replace the transmission in it.
It ONLY lasted 11 months before having to have it replaced AGAIN.. And now not more than a year later on 10/18/2015 I am having to have this transmission replaced Again..Gm really should be held accountable for this problem with these specific makes...

Re: Transmission issues...AGAIN

I would question why this reoccurs, and what is failing, I would also question the skill level of who is doing the repairs, this not a common failure

Re: Transmission issues...AGAIN

what was wrong with the trans? did the same shop "replace" all 3 trans. I believe the 2006 has a TCM trans control module and uses a 4T65E trans. maybe its the module or a sensor like the MAF.

Re: Transmission issues...AGAIN

I have a 2007 Grand Prix GT with the supercharged V6. I have 180,000 miles on it and what appears to be the original transmission. I have owned the car since 123,000 miles.

Yes, the transmissions are known weak points in these cars, but the fact that you have 2 go out on you in that amount of time has more to do with either the way you drive or the quality of work being done on the transmission swaps.

Re: Transmission issues...AGAIN

Were the cooling lines(cooler) adequately flushed before installing the new trannies?

What was the failure of each tranny?

New, rebuilt, or used trannies used?
