My transmission is slipping, my neighbor who's a mechanic looked at it and luckily this vehicle has a transmission dipstick, fluid level was still good but we checked the Trans filter and we saw metal bits. We did a transmission fluid change and filter. It's not doing as bad but still will need to get transmission and converter replaced. Talked to a few places and they all say that this transmission always having problems and need replaced. I have supposedly a warranty but fighting with dealership about coverage. The amount of regularly seeing problems with this transmission from repair shops surprised that there isn't a recall. They say they replace the style on my car all the time on gm products supposedly it comes from the Ypsilanti plant in MI.

Transmission was slipping, took to dealership to check, serviced it by changing filter and transmission fluid and gasket. At 80k miles transmission was slipping again and jerking from stopped position. Took back to dealership now they are saying I have metal in fluid and internal transmission failure" Cost to replace $13,000? This car barely gets 10k miles per year and serviced appropriately. Recall on this power train"

While on a highway trip, suburban began to slip gears. It became very jerky and also began to accelerate while on flat ground in cruise control and rpm revved up to 6. It continued slipping gears and jerking and also making odd grinding noises. Test drive with mechanic and Issue has been confirmed that transmission needs rebuilt as torque convertor is the problem. There was absolutely no warning before this began. We were told that this had not been a recall yet but is definitely an issue with the 2019 Suburban.

Recently invoice date 12/15/2022 The transmission was replaced with a remanufacture transmission while under warranty coverage because it was making noise and grinding during shifting. The remanufacture transmission grinds in between gear shifting and it vibrates as if my tires are driving over traffic control grids near the solid yellow shoulder line just before pulling over onto the shoulder. My transmission was replaced at 77-887 I now have approximately 80.121 miles just 2,000 miles as of 1/15/2023 on the remanufacture transmission and it has already has problems. I am soon to return it to the dealer to have it replaced for a second time.

I turning left and accelerate when the truck jerked which felt like it move the whole truck and made a loud clunk. The jerk almost felt like we hit something in front of us. The truck immediately came to almost a complete stop in the middle of the road. When I tried to accelerate to get out to get out of the middle of the road because of oncoming traffic there was a load winding noise and the truck would barley move forward. We took it into a Chevy dealership and we told by a Chevy service technician that the transmissions torque converter ripped apart the inside of the transmission.

2019 Chevrolet Suburban 4X4. When starting the vehicle, the transmission selector is in the park position and the emergency brake is set. On Monday, February 10, 2019, I started the vehicle and it lurched forward while the emergency brake was set and the vehicle was parked. Additionally, my foot was on the brake pedal. The vehicle was on a slight incline and facing forward when this happened.
