So here's the deal everyone. I bought this truck as a manager demo vehicle with 13,000 miles on it. I've had nothing but problems since I purchased it. After ready many reviews I have finally figured out that the transmission issues are clearly an ongoing battle. Never once did the dealership tell me about these issues.
This truck has more miles on the back of a wrecker than being driven on the road. I could go on and on with the issues. My major complaint that pisses me off the most is. Low and Behold just rolled 111k miles and now my transmission is completely slipping while going up slight grade, gears act like they are falling out if I'm in automatic mode not using the downshift/upshift control on the shifter. I mean if I'm running in 4th gear and its in automatic and I come to a light and have to slow down. You can actually feel the gears completely release for 3rd, 2nd, and 1st gear.
The truck surges forward to the point that you don't know if the brakes will stop you. This first started out only when running in 5th gear up grade on cruise. So I assumed it was a vacuum leak. Boy oh boy was I wrong. On my way home from work going 65 on cruise, truck starts surging so I kick off cruise. Truck RPM's and Speedo start bouncing all over. Manually downshift to 4th gear and clears up.
Well that worked for 2 days, while waiting on a dealership to find the time to look at my truck. So now I have an appointment with the dealership. But with reading everyone's posts online, this is an ongoing issues and I'm SOL due to the fact that I'm now over the 100k mile mark. So lets see how much they rape me on this repair bill. Dealership techs now a days are jokes. They charge based on a book not on actual labor conducted. This is a shame and I'm truly pissed off about how GM handles these complaints.
