At stop signs, it would jerk as soon as you take your foot off the brake and touch the gas pedal. Truck started shifting hard and revving up last weekend while we were camping. Now Im looking at possible looking at a Toyota Tundra. First chevy I drove was a 1969 Cheville SS 396. Update from : Just found out that it is going to cost me about $4500 to have the transmission rebuilt on the heavy side like it should have been in the first place. Making me think about looking at a Toyota Tundra. I have always on Chevy and GMC cars and trucks and never had a problem until over 300K + miles. I haven't even finished paying for it yet. I'm going to have it rebuilt extra heavy with new torque converter. Trying to find someone to rebuild it now. They called that afternoon to tell me the transmission is shot and the can rebuild it for $4200 or install a new one for $6000. Made it back from Lowes and took it to the local Chevy dealership to find out what is going on. On September the 24, my wife and I were heading to Lowes, when the truck started bucking and making a lot of noise. Then it started to make a weird noise when the truck came under a strain like going up a hill. All the sudden, the truck started to jerk, I thought I had gotten bad gas somewhere. When the light changed, I made a left hand turn onto another road. This truck is way nicer than I am used too.Ībout two weeks ago, I was stopped at a red light. Still completely stock as from the factory. Have only had it in 4 wheel drive very few times. Pulling heavy loads, carrying heavy loads, and a lot of highway time. It had 474K on it when the transmission went out. Still waiting to see if they are covering it or not. Just heard back from the dealership, warranty adjuster had been there, removed pan, full of metal, failure was internal. Talked to dealership, cost is around $6300.00 for replacement and labor. No engine or transmission codes even when I got to the dealership. This failure happened all at once, no warning whatsoever. Only thing I have ever noticed while driving is sometimes it wants to upshift a little quicker but not very often. Pulled a trailer with a zero turn mower on it was the only time it's towed anything. Awaiting on warranty company to determine whether or not they are going to cover it or not, why, I don't know. Have the extended warranty to cover to 134.000 miles, and only have 102,000 on it at this time. Was able to get to the dealership, and found out transmission had completely failed. On the way to nearby dealership that was about 2 more miles, transmission went to slipping and lost pulling power. Leave the next morning headed for work and 2 miles from the house, a hard shudder again, with a whining noise. 3rd Chevy /GM product I've owned and no problems with any of them other than the #7 plug fouling on the other 2. Had a shudder going down the highway around 70mph while climbing a slight grade. My friend just had his transmission go out on his 2015 Silverado Z71 at 112,000 miles.Ģ016 Chevrolet Z71 1500 series LT. I paid $132,000 Mexican pesos for the new transmission and was without the truck for 2 months while waiting for the parts delivery and repairs. While my truck was in the shop I tried ordering the transmission and while I was waiting for the delivery Chevy raised their fee for themselves from $1,000 to an additional $2,000 for the mark up on the parts. Waited 6 hours for a tow and got it to the dealer in la Paz. Glided to the side of the road in a lucky spot as it is a 2 lane road with a lot of semi trailers. When I restarted it the warning light was gone.Īround 15 minutes later no transmission. I pulled over for around 40 minutes and turned off the engine to see if I let it cool off the warning light might go off. I was traveling to Cabo San Lucas from San Diego and I made it about 4 hours from la Paz in the middle of the nowhere and all of a sudden there's a transmission warning on my dash. Obviously, I am going to shop around, but ultimately this is ridiculous! He then tells me that with taxes, it will be $6475.85. I even made the comment to the guy (not his fault - he just works there) that this is apparently a known issue with this and he said yes it is, so even the service department is aware. It appears that this is an ongoing issue that these trucks have and Chevrolet will not take responsibility for it!! A few hours later, I get a call from the dealership and the guy explains to me that I need my transmission replaced because the torque converter imploded and sent metal all throughout the transmission which obviously caused it to ultimately FAIL. In the process of waiting for the tow truck, I decided to do some research. I had it towed to the nearest dealership so it could be checked out. I have a 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 with 86660 miles. As I was driving down the road today () with no lights, no warning, no anything my transmission FAILED.
