2010 Chevy Equinox. Bought used with 70k miles last May. After 8k miles in our possession, the trans had major internal failure. It started revving up like it was slipping and by the time we made it home it was bucking and barely moved forward. Then it wouldn't move forward or backward and did nothing until you revved it up to 3k rpm and it just made a grinding sound.
Had a remanufactured trans from chevy with a 3 year / 100,000 mile warranty swapped in.
I have 2 questions:
1. Has chevy determined the problem with these specific transmissions and made a revised part(s) to solve it?
2. Is there anything I could have done to make it last longer? (The fluid was considered lifetime)
