MY CAMARO HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP PRESENTING THE P1870 TRANSMISSION CODE APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES. THE DEALER HAS PERFORMED OVER 2000 WARRANTIED MAJOR WORK ON THE TRANSMISSION PRIOR TO 36000 MILES. I AM STILL HAVING REPEATED PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND HAVE LOOKED UP THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETINS ONLY TO FIND THAT THERE ARE MANY REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION-AUTOMATIC AND THE COMPUTER PRESENTING THE P1870 CODE. I AM REPEATEDLY TOLD THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE CAR AND THAT THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT IS STILL COMING ON INDICATING TRANSMISSION SLIPPAGE. I HAVE CONTACT GM WITH NO REPLY. YOU WOULD THINK AFTER PERFORMING $2500 WORTH OF USELESS REPAIR WORK THAT THEY WOULD HAVE PUT IN A REBUILT TRANSMISSION OR OFFERED HELP TO ME IN ANOTHER WAY. IT IS SLOWLY BECOMING A SAFETY AND PUNITIVE MATTER TO ME.*AK

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers.
