I am told by the local dealer that the transmissions in the Astros are being replaced almost on a daily basis. I was told by the dealer that it is "poor engineering" that is why they have changed the transmission in the 2000 models. I would like to know how many complaints you have had on the transmissions and at what point in time do they make a recall. Please feel free to contact me. The Chevy customer service line could not help me at all!!!!!
