SUN SHELL REPLACEMENT ON 2002 ENVOY XL. WE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS DEFECTIVE COMPONENT. I WORKED FOR GM AND HAD NO PROBLEMS HAVING THIS DEFECTIVE COMPONENT REPLACED AT 100% DEALER CHARGE. WE PAID $0.000 (NOTHING) GM KNEW THEY HAD PROBLEMS AND DIDN'T' CORRECT THE PROBLEM. OURS FAILED 20 MINUTES AFTER HAVING A TRANSMISSION FLUSH/SERVICE WITH ONLY 35K MILES ON OUR 2002 VEHICLE. I WOULD FIGHT WITH THE DEALER. THERE ARE SERVICE BULLETINS OUT THERE REGARDING THE FAILURE AND REPLACEMENT OF THIS COMPONENT. OURS FAILED WHEN MY SPOUSE TRIED TO ENGAGE THE GEAR INTO REVERSE. GOOD THING THIS DIDN'T' HAPPEN IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHERE SHE NEEDED TO GET OUT OF A BAD SITUATION QUICKLY. THE LOCAL DEALER PAID FOR OUR THIS SHOULD BE THE SAME FOR ALL DEALERS ACROSS THE NATION AS LONG AS IT'S AN APPLE TO APPLE COMPARISON. OWNERS IN ONE STATE SHOULD BE AFFORDED THE SAME REPLACEMENT POLICY AND PRICING AS OWNERS IN OTHER STATES. THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALERS SHOULD TREAT EVERYONE FAIRLY.
