Chevrolet Silverado transmission problems

THE VEHICLE HAS PROBLEMS SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. SOMETIMES THE GEARS CHANGE SMOOTHLY, AND OTHER TIMES THERE IS A THUMPING SOUND ACCOMPANIED BY JERKING. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED AT LEAST FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH. *AK IN ADDITION WHEN MAKING THE TRANSITION FROM A LOW SPEED TO A HIGHER SPEED THE VEHICLE'S TRANSMISSION WOULD NOT ENGAGE INTO THE PROPER GEAR. THIS MADE IT SEEM LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS IN NEUTRAL. THE DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM WITH A RETROFIT KIT AND THE VEHICLE SEEMS TO BE WORKING FINE. THE VEHICLE'S CD PLAYER WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE DEALER REPLACED AND REPROGRAMMED THE CD PLAYER. *NM

TRUCK SHIFTED INTO 3RD GEAR FOR NO REASON THEN WOULD NOT SHIFT BACK INTO 4TH WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY ALMOST CAUSING ME TO BE REARENDED. I PURCHASED A THIS GM CERTIFIED VEHICLE FOUR MONTH AGO THINKING I WAS GETTING A BETTER THAN AVERAGE VEHICLE. I SPOKE TO A TRANSMISSION SHOP AND THEY SAID THEY THEY GET A LOT OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AND I WOULD LIKE GENERAL MOTORS TO REPAIR IT SINCE THEY HAVEN'T FIXED THIS PROBLEM WITH THE 4L60 E TRANSMISSION IN THE LAST 11 OR SO YEARS THEY'VE USED IT. *AK

MY TRUCK HAS 68000 MILES ON IT AND I AM NOW ON MY THIRD TRANSMISSION. I HAVE THE 1999 LT MODEL WITH THE 4 SPEED AUTO. ONE FAILURE WAS WHILE ON VACATION TRANS FAILED WHILE STUCK IN TRAFFIC. IT WOULD NOT HOLD PRESSURE. NEXT FAILURE WAS ONLY 4 MONTHS LATER LOST REVERSE AND 1ST GEAR COMPLETLY CAR HAD TO BE TOWED AGAIN. NOW 3RD TRANS IS NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY SOMETHING IS NOT RIGHT IN THESE TRANSMISSIONS. *JB

MY 2002 CHEVROLET SILVERADO EXT CAB 4X4 TRANSMISSION FAILED AT A REPAIR COST OF $1400.00. IT HAD 42,800 MILES ON IT. FINAL WARRANTY WORK(36000 MILES) WAS DONE ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. GENERAL MOTORS SAYS THEY WON'T HELP ME COVER REPAIR COSTS BECAUSE I TRADED THE VEHICLE FOR A NEW GMC (I NO LONGER HAD CONFIDENCE TO KEEP THIS VEHICLE SINCE THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD HAVE BEEN TROUBLE FREE FOR SURE FOR 100,000 MILES AND I WAS AFRAID IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN 40,000 MILES LATER. I TRIED TAKING GOOD CARE OF THIS VEHICLE). WHETHER I KEPT THE VEHICLE OR NOT IS BESIDE THE POINT. I OWNED THE VEHICLE AT THE TIME OF THE REPAIRS AND EXPECTED SOME FINANCIAL HELP FROM GM. *LA

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A STOPPED POSITION AND COMING TO A STOP THERE IS A DEEP SQUEEKING SOUND COMING SOMEWHERE BETWEEN THE DRIVESHAFT AND TRANSMISSION. I WAS TOLD BY CHEVY GARAGE THERE WAS A FIX FOR THE EXTENDED CAB VERSION BUT NOT MY REGULAR CAB TRUCK. IT WILL EVENTUALLY TAKE MONEY TO FIX BECAUSE ANYTHING THAT SQUEEKS IS RUBBING AND WILL EVENTUALLY WEAR OUT. IT WAS A PROBLEM WHEN I REACHED 15,000 MILES AND IS STILL A PROBLEM AND LOUD AGGREVATION AT 61000 MILES. IT IS EVEN BAD ENOUGH THAT WHEN I COME TO A REDLIGHT OR A STOP SIGN PEOPLE THINK I AM BEEPING MY HORN AT THEM. IT HAS BEEN FOUR YEARS AND 46000 MILES LATER AND THERE IS NO FIX FOR THE VEHICLE TO MY KNOWLEDGE. PLUS THE TIRES DIDNT LAST 40000 MILES THE BRAKE LINE HAD TO BE REPAIRED THE STEERING LINKAGE IS BAD AND WHEN I HAD A CRACKED WINDOW REPLACED THE PERSON SHOWED ME THAT THERE WAS NO SEAL PLACED AROUND THE WINDOW TO KEEP IT FROM LEAKING. SO LONG CHEVY HELLO FORD.*AK
