Default trans noise

Any one else have this problem? When I backed up the transmission sounded like there was gravel inside. I to it to my dealer in Ft. Laud, on SR7 near Sunrise Blvd., who finally diagnosed it as bad reverse gears and also is replacing the pump. I lobbied for a new transmission because it only has 5300 mi on a 05. They said they could only repair it. The bad news was the trans tech backed a truck into the left front of my vette breaking the light and pushing it into the fender 2 inches. Don't you know I was pissed. They said they'd fix everything asap , its going on 2 weeks now. I just want to make sure they don't cut corners and do a half assed job. Can I file a formal complaint to the corvette area rep? If so does anyone have a phone number? Will be waiting on your replies.

The address and phone number are in the back of your owner's manual. Definately send and call in a complaint. Your next conversation with the owner of the dealership should be compensation for diminished value. How much less is a vette worth with body work vs a pristine all original paint car. That's how much they owe you.

Find out what the tech drives and kick his door in. After your car is out of the shop.
