My truck has 123,700 miles on it. I took my truck to M&T auto mechanic in Grandville, Michigan. They advised me I need a new transmission. I bought my Truck from Berger Chevolet in Grandville, Michigan with zero issues. It had 59,000 miles on it when I bought it used. I have taken very good of this truck and I do not pull anything with it. I feel I should have gotten many more miles out of the transmission. I feel General Motors is at fault for this. Can anyone help me out with this issue?
At only 72k on the truck while traveling at 70mph down the freeway the transmission started slipping out of gear causing the motor to rev up causing a loss of power. Luckily I managed to get the vehicle off of the freeway without incident. It seemed to go back to normal than continued to slip within 3-4 miles. It turns out that the transmission pump failed and damaged the entire transmission. The truck was taken into the dealer in approximately 2018/19 because of a transmission shudder, to which the dealership said it was normal and there were no issues with the truck.
The transmission failed while driving on a highway the transmission went into limp mode reducing speed down to 1st gear almost causing a wreck. Codes read p0700 and p0796.after drawing transmission fluid it looked like water in there fluid but I found out it's glycol. There is a recall on my year make and model but not by my vin.

I have been experiencing this problem for years, but recently it has been getting worse. When accelerating from a stop there is a shudder in the transmission. The wheels feel like they slip or vibrate upon acceleration from a stop or slow speed. Sometimes the wheels don't spin, and I have to put the truck in 4-wheel drive for the wheels to catch. Sometimes while at a steady speed, like on a highway, the transmission slips and catches quickly, like little thumps. I only have 62,000 miles on my truck. I do not haul heavy loads or tow a trailer.
6l80 transmission filed /malfunctioned it is available or inspection. while driving down a highway running 65mph i noticed a slip in the transmission. all at once my transmission started dropping gears from 6th all the way down to 1st gear.causing increased rpm. i was in the center lane of the highway and could not gain speed to keep up with traffic and was almost hit by a semi truck. as i only had 1st gear 10 mph. i finally managed to get the truck off the highway which left me stranded on the inside lane of a interstate no where to go. i had my family of 5 in my truck on the way home.if it had not been for the fast reaction of the semi driver my family would not be here today. when i got my truck towed home i ran a diagnostic which gave me the code P0796 pressure control soleniod c performance or stuck off. and P0700 transmission control system. i have seen so many youtube videos/ repair videos. of the solenoid pack failure torque converter failure. electrical failure for these trucks i dont understand why their is no recall.
My 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500 has just over 100,000 miles, and the transmission is slipping and making a clunking noise which is going to require replacement with a new transmission. I bought this truck with 48,000 miles and it's my daily driver. This truck was not used to haul trailers with heavy loads. There should be a recall for the transmission on the 2016 Chevy Silverado 1500. I had a 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500, and It had no transmission issues with 275,000 miles on it when I traded it in.
Truck is at 130,000 and the transmission is about failing drastically. I have been telling the dealer that there was a problem with the transmission since 80-90k which the truck seemed to "slip" out of gear and slam into gear, was told that they couldn't find anything wrong with it. I've heard that this year truck is known to have a bad transmission and nothing has been done to fix the issue.
In my 5.3 the lifters failed and ruined the cam also. Loud knocking so was unable to use vehicle until repairs were completed. There were no warning lights and I have documentation of fixed repairs along with picture of defective parts
Torque converter in the transmission Is shuttering hard enough to make the entire vehicle shake. Could cause the driver to panic and cause them to loose control of the vehicle while trying to figure out what is happening to the vehicle.
The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at approximately 60 MPH, the RPM fluctuated and that the vehicle was jerking. After pulling over, the vehicle lost motive power. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle failed to restart and was then towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle remained with the mechanic unrepaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but a case was not filed. The approximate failure mileage was 116,000.
The vehicle has a faulty transmission. On numerous occasions the vehicle has issues going from first to second gear, causing a delay in acceleration. This is an issue when trying to turn left across traffic as you never know when the truck will pause leaving you in the way of oncoming traffic. Another incident happened on the highway where a very loud bang was heard and the truck was stuck in gear and wouldn't shift. Upon researching these issues o line it is apparent that this is a widespread issue in which GM acknowledges the problem, but says that's just the way it is and does not want to correct the issue.
When shifting into second gear truck will jerk sometimes. Can be hard enough that the stuck stops and tires squeal. Also have had transmission flushed and switched the the recommended transmission fluid and didn-??t fix the shifting. Also had it stop moving completely, driving then had no power, rpm-??s went high but wouldn-??t accelerate. Had to have towed. Safety issue, almost rear ended multiple times due to transmission hard shifting. No power on the highway and had to pull over. Not safe!
Truck isn-??t shifting after 2nd gear when warmed up. Shut it off for a few mins and it shifts fine. If driven more than 20 mins starts doing it again.
