1999 Chevrolet Suburban transmission problems

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

OUR 1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN HAD AN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION THAT BEGAN SLIPPING FROM 800 MILES. EVERY TIME MY WIFE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAID THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT, NOR COULD THEY DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE SLIPPING ONLY HAPPENED PERIODICALLY AND I WOULD HAVE BEEN SURPRISED IF THEY COULD HAVE DUPLICATED IT. SHE WAS ALSO TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS MAY BE SOMETHING THAT IS NORMAL WITH A COMPUTERIZED TRANSMISSION. MAYBE IT WAS JUST A DELAY. WELL, ON DEC 27, 2004 OUR TRANSMISSION DECIDED TO ACT VERY STRANGE AND WOULD NOT SHIFT BEYOND 3RD GEAR. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND IT WAS LOCKED UP IN 3RD GEAR. AT THIS POINT THE CAR WAS A YEAR AND A HALF AND APPROX 33,000 MILES PAST WARRANTY. THE DEALER NEEDED TO SPEAK TO GM ABOUT ANY WARRANTY COVERAGE SINCE IT WAS BEYOND THE WARRANTY. GM SAID THEY WOULD ONLY COVER HALF OF IT SINCE IT HAD NOT BEEN BROUGHT IN REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION IN APPROX 26,000 MILES. IT HAD CONTINUED TO SLIP BUT THE INFO GIVEN TO MY WIFE WAS THAT MAYBE THIS WAS NORMAL, SO SHE HAD NOT ADDRESSED IT FURTHER. THEN WE ENDED UP NEEDING A NEW TRANSMISSION AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER IT COMPLETELY. NOW HERE WE ARE A YEAR AFTER THAT AND I FIND BUNCH OF SERVICE BULLETINS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. OBVIOUSLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM, NOR WILL I BE THE LAST. I BELIEVE THAT THIS INFO SHOULD BE RESEARCHED AND LOOKED INTO. IT JUST DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT. TO TOP THIS OFF MY BRAND NEW TRANSMISSION IS ALSO DOING THE SAME SLIPPING AND I CAN GUARANTEE THAT WE WILL TAKE IT IN EVERY TIME IT SLIPS, NO MATTER WHO SAYS IT MAY BE NORMAL.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

AT JUST OVER 100000 MILES, WE LOST 3RD GEAR. THIS OFCOURSE HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC GOING UP A HILL. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SUBURBAN TRANSMISSION. JUST WANTED TO SHARE THE WARNING SIGNS: TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO "SLIP" SEVERAL DAYS PRIOR TO THE TOTAL LOSS OF 3RD GEAR. IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC SITUATIONS, WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD, TRUCK SEEMED TO SLIP INTO NEUTRAL. RPM WOULD REV AND AFTER BACKING OFF THE ACCELERATOR SEEMED TO STRAIGHTEN UP. HOWEVER, NOT LONG AFTER, VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 3RD. WITH AN AUTOMATIC, THAT LEAVES VERY FEW OPTIONS WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I HAD MANUALLY SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND MANUALLY DOWN SHIFT. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY; I WAS ABLE TO STAY BELOW 40MPH AND DRIVE IN 2ND AND GOT IT HOME. NOW WE ARE LOOKING FOR FURTHER INFORMATION THAT MAY HELP LEVY THE COST OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. LOOKS LIKE GM IS AWARE AND REFUSES TO RECALL.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

I WAS DRIVING AND MY VEHICLE (1999 CHEVROLET SUBURBAN 2WD) MADE A LOUD NOISE AND VIBRATED FOR A FEW SECONDS, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND MY VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR UNTIL I LET OFF THE ACCELERATOR. I TOOK MY CAR TO AN AUTOMOTIVE SHOP WHERE THE HOOKED UP A MACHINE TO SEE WHY THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT HAD COME ON. THE MACHINE TOLD THEM IT WAS MY TRANSMISSION SHIFT SILENOID. WHEN I WENT TO LEAVE IN MY VEHICLE FROM THE AUTOMOTIVE SHOP IT WOULD NOT GO INTO REVERSE. I THEN HAD TO TAKE IT TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP HAVE AN EXPENSIVE COMPLETE TRANSMISSION OVERHAUL ON A VEHICLE WITH ONLY 97,000 MI. I SHOPPED AROUND AT SEVERAL TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND WAS TOLD THIS WAS VERY COMMON IN CHEVY/GMC SUBURBAN'S AND TRUCKS MADE FROM 1997-2000. IF THIS IS THE CASE, WHY ISN'T GM RECALLING THE VEHICLES FOR REPAIRS?

POWER TRAIN:DRIVELINE:DIFFERENTIAL UNIT

THE PLANETARY GEARS FAILED IN THE TRANSMISSION WHILE DRIVING IN NORMAL CONDITIONS WITH NO LOAD. THE VEHICLE HAD BEEN REPORTED TO THE MANUFACTURES DEALER WHILE UNDER WARRANTY AS HAVING A VIOLENT HARD SHIFT AFTER KICKDOWN TO PASS ANOTHER VEHCILE. THE SOLUTION OFFERED BY THE DEALER WAS TO DISCONNECT THE BATTERY AND RESET THE COMPUTER. THIS REMOVED THE INITIAL PROBLEM FOR SOME TIME AND THEN THE SHIFTING OF THE TRANSMISSION FROM 1ST TO 2ND WAS VERY HARD AND JERKY. THE DEALER WOULD DO NOTHING ABOUT IT . TRICOUNTY TRANSMISSION SHOWED ME NUMEROUS PARTS FROM OTHER SUBURBANS AND TAHOES WHICH HAVE THE SAME ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER FAILURE. GM WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILTY FOR THIS AS THEY NEVER DO. THEY HAVE A LATENT DEFECT IN THE HARDINESS OF THE GEAR INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION WHICH CAUSES TEETH FAILURE OF THE PLANETARY GEARS. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING IN ATLANTA I-285 AND THE GEARS HAD FAILED IN TRAFFIC. THE TRANSMISSION SHOP SAID THIS SAME PROBLEMS APPLIES TO ALL 1998 THRU 2002 TRANSMISSIONS FOR THE CHEVY SUBURBANS AND TAHOES. CAN YOU PROVIDE ME WITH INFORMATION ON THIS MATTER. THANKS.

NHTSA complaint #758430 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTED VERY HARD INTO 2ND GEAR. WHEN I CAME TO A STOP AND WENT TO GO THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO SECOND GEAR. IT WOULD PRCEED INTO THIRD GEAR AFTER THE ENGINE WOULD REV UP TO A HIGHER RPM. I CONTACTED SEVERAL TRANSMISSION SHOPS AND A DEALERSHIP. THEY ALL SAID THAT I LOST THE 2ND/4TH GEAR INTEMEDIATE SHAFT WHICH ALSO INCLUDED THE REVERSE GEAR ALSO. THIS IS ON A 700R4 TRANSMISSON. THEY ALL SAID GM KNEW ABOUT THE PROBLEM BUT WOULD NOT DO A RECALL ON THAT MODEL YEAR BECAUSE OF THE EXTENIVE USE OF THAT TRANMISSION IN ALL OF THEIR VEHICLES . THEY SAID THAT ALMOST ALL OF THE TRANSMISSION HAD THE FAULTY INTERMEDIATE SHAFT. THIS COULD CAUSE A SERIOUS PROBLEM FOR SOME VEHICLE OWNERS IF THE TRANSMISSION FAILED AT AN INOPPORTUNE TIME, ESPECIALLY IN AN EMERGENCY THAT THEY HAD TO REVERSE QUICKLY. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION REPLACED AT A LOCAL SHOP AT A VERY HIGH EXPENSE. I THOUGHT I WOULD SUBMIT THIS DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES THAT USED THIS TRANSMISSIONIN THAT YEAR AND FOR THE SAFETY OF THE OWNERS.

FRIDAY JUNE 6, 2001 MY WIFE AND FIVE KIDS LEFT FROM HUNTSVILLE, AL TO GO TO PENSACOLA, FL FOR THE WEEKEND, THEY GOT ABOUT 250 MILES AND THE REAR END BLEW OUT ON OUR 1999 CHEVY SUBURBAN LT K1500. THE WAS A "KLUNK" AS SHE WAS TRAVELLING 70MPH ON I-65. THERE WAS A DEALERSHIP IN SIGHT, SO I HAD IT TOWED THERE, AND THE FOLLOWING MONDAY I CALLED TO GET AN ESTIMATE. I WAS TOLD THE REAR END HOUSING HAD A HOLE BLOWN THROUGH IT. THEY WANTED TO CHARGE ME $1,900 FOR A USED REAR END, AND $250 FOR LABOR. THE LABOR SOUNDED REASONABLE, BUT THE $1,900 WAS OUTRAGEOUS. I CONTACTED THE CHEVY DEALER IN PENSACOLA AND LOCATED A USED REAR END WITH A 12 MONTH PARTS AND LABOR WARRANTY FOR $1,200, SO I CALLED A FLAT BED WRECKER AND PAID $220 TO HAVE TOWED TO PENSACOLA FOR REPAIR. I CALLED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE AND FILED A COMPLAINT AGAINST THE GREENVILLE DEALER AND ON THE VEHICLE ITSELF (FILE #C04557412). THE FIRST CR I SPOKE WITH TOOK THE INFORMATION, BUT WAS NOT VERY HELPFUL BEYOND THAT. MY OWN MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED THE VEHICLE EXAMINED THE REAR END AND SAID IT LOOKED LIKE THERE WAS NO SEAL OR LEAKAGE PROBLEM BUT THAT SOMETHING INSIDE JUST GAVE OUT AND WENT THROUGH THE HOUSING. WE HAD OWNED A 93, C2500 THAT HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE REAR END SEAL AFTER 140,000 MILES, AND THAT IS A LITTLE MORE UNDERSTANDABLE, BUT 72,000 MILES SEEMS LIKE A VERY PREMATURE DEATH FOR A REAR END TO INCUR AN INTERNAL FAILURE. I CALLED CHEVY CUSTOMER SERVICE BACK AND SPOKE WITH A JUDY FRANCO. I TOLD HER WHAT THE MECHANIC SAID ABOUT THE REAR END AND SHE SAID THEY WOULD LOOK INTO IT FURTHER. SHE REPORTED DOING SOME INVESTIGATING AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING CHEVY WOULD DO. SHE AND A SERVICE REP IN PENSACOLA SAID THEY DOUBTED THAT CHEVY WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE, AND BECAUSE I DID NOT HAVE IT REPAIRED AT THE DEALERSHIP. ALTHOUGH THE REP IN PENSACOLA TOLD ME THAT IF THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER 60,000 MILES THAT, IT WAS POSSIBLE THAT SOMETHING COULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN THE WAY OF COMPENSATION.
