Reported at 12,000 miles, September 2006 Crash

2006 chevy silverado hd diesel with allison trans-- transmission cooler lines leaking, dealer said there has been no known problem. I searched online and found hundreds of similar complaints. So I was forced to pay $700 to have the lines replaced, which will probably end up leaking again. This is obviously a defect, as I have 3 other chevy trucks, none of which have ever leaked from the trans lines, and some are over 10yrs old.
