Unbelievable that the transmission goes out at 102,000 miles! Google check revealed that this is a common occurrence. Google check also revealed that there is no recall concerning these transmissions.

Just ridiculous that my truck has less than 100k miles and my transmission just out of no where blew. Left my wife and kids stranded.

Seriously disappointed with Chevrolet! I was told yesterday by a GMC dealer that my transmission in my 2017 Chevy Silverado Z71 was bad and either needed to be rebuilt or a new one. I have never had a major component fail on a Chevrolet vehicle with only 102,000 miles. I have been a Chevy fan all my life but I'm probably going to change, hoping Toyota comes out with the diesel Tundra.

A few days before after dropping off my side by side at the dealer for servicing, my transmission started slipping, shuttering and heating up. I would have to pull to the side of the road and sit for a little bit until it cooled down and then get back on the road hopscotching the last 25 miles home. Has anyone else had this problem and what did you do to fix?
