    I have had 2 separate issues 2 weeks apart with the transmission. The first one was "fixed". Now they are stating I need a new transmission.

    It appears, after google research, that my torque converter is or has failed. Transmission shudder is happening on my 6 speed trans.

    The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated upon starting the vehicle, the passenger’s side air bag remained ON while the front passenger’s side seat was not occupied and would turn OFF while driving. The message "Service Air Bag" was later displayed. The contact stated that the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, where it was diagnosed that the front passenger’s side air bag and occupant seat mat sensor had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and the contact was informed that they would cover 10 percent of the repair cost. A case was opened, and the contact was awaiting a call from the manufacturer. The failure mileage was approximately 58,000.

    At only 72k on the truck while traveling at 70mph down the freeway the transmission started slipping out of gear causing the motor to rev up causing a loss of power. Luckily I managed to get the vehicle off of the freeway without incident. It seemed to go back to normal than continued to slip within 3-4 miles. It turns out that the transmission pump failed and damaged the entire transmission. The truck was taken into the dealer in approximately 2018/19 because of a transmission shudder, to which the dealership said it was normal and there were no issues with the truck.

    LOSS OF POWER STEERING AS DESCRIBED IN THE NOTICE. THIS IS SECOND TIME IT HAS OCCURED . FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED (2 YEARS AGO) TRUCK WAS WITH MY MECHANIC FOR 6 WEEKS AS HE TRIED TO "MECHANICALLY" FIX THE PROBLEM. FINALLY, DEALERSHIP TOLD HIM THEY NEEDED TO "FLASH" THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE TRUCK. MECHANIC TOOK THE TRUCK TO DEALER WHEREUPON THE "FLASH" PROCEDURE WAS PERFORMED, THE POWER STEERING RETURNED AND THE TRUCK WAS GIVEN BACK TO ME AS "FIXED"! I HAVE ALREADY BEEN INVOLVED IN 1 LIFE THREATENING VEHICLE CRASH (2017 Dodge Durango) I'M NOT DOING THAT AGAIN. HELPPPPPPPP! LOOK IT UP.

    I have been experiencing this problem for years, but recently it has been getting worse. When accelerating from a stop there is a shudder in the transmission. The wheels feel like they slip or vibrate upon acceleration from a stop or slow speed. Sometimes the wheels don't spin, and I have to put the truck in 4-wheel drive for the wheels to catch. Sometimes while at a steady speed, like on a highway, the transmission slips and catches quickly, like little thumps. I only have 62,000 miles on my truck. I do not haul heavy loads or tow a trailer.

    Truck was revving while driving down the highway, would jump up and down gears while driving down the highway, started making a high pitched whirring noise, and when pulling out of my driveway onto a busy street, stopped moving in the middle of the street. The truck wouldn't go into any gear whether it was Reverse, Drive, Neutral or any of the Manual gears. Two police officers pushed my vehicle off of the busy road onto a side street. No lights came on the dashboard to warn of any problems. I have had the truck towed to a transmission shop for repairs. Research shows that there are many complaints about this issue in this particle vehicle. Please research this problem.
