Default Silverado Transmission

A while back I posted some comments about my Chevy Silverado truck transmission. Just thought I would bring you up to date:


SO FAR, they have Greased the yoke............no change, changed the yoke...........no change, removed the pan and checked the valve body......no change, removed the pan again and re-checked the valve body....no change, pumped the transmission.......no change, adjusted the ring-gear and pinion....no change.

GM Field Engineer came and test drove the truck......no change, they have during the past week received 4 more 2013's with same problem.

GM Engineer test drove these and confirmed the problem.

Finally, yesterday, they said it is NOT a yoke problem, It is NOT a slippage problem, it is NOT a rear-end differential problem,......YEP.....as I tried to tell them from the start it is a transmission problem.

They now say that, exactly as I initially told them, the transmission is NOT shifting correctly.....wow.....makes you realize why they have 33 million recalls now.

End result....they now tell me that it is indeed a 2013 transmission problem and GM is working on a solution......and.......will put out a bulletin to that effect.

Stay tuned, I'll keep you up to date on it.

Thanks for all your prior comments.

Start saving your receipts and look for a lemon law attorney. It's pretty cut and dried, after so many failed attempts to resolve they buy it back.

Sometimes this is the only language they understand.

I had the pleasure of going through this with a 2009 CTS at a dealer I bought and leased a dozen cars from over the course of 25 years. All I wanted was for them to make it right and when I realized that just wasn't going to happen I suggested that I would look into the lemon law, he just didn't care one way or the other so I did.
They didn't buy it back like they should have but offered enough for me to terminate the lease.
Next stop Lincoln dealer who was happy to have a new customer.
Bye Bye GM, no wonder you're having problems.

The big car makers don't like buying motors or trannys for people regardless of the warranty wording. I watched a friend go through years of aggravation and expense to get covered on a new car transmission. More people with the same problem help your cause, good luck.
