| I have a 2001 1500 chevy suburban that i purchased brand new. it was 109,000 miles on it. my transmission went out with no warning at 50,000 miles. we fought with dealership and manufacturer and had them replace it with a new one. well guess what? i have appr. 59,000 on this transmission and it just went out on us on our thanksgiving trip. we were 4 hrs. from home when it started going out. when we were 3 hrs. from home we lost 3rd gear and drove in 2nd at 40 miles per hr. stopping several times along the way to let it cool down. we made it 2 hrs from home and made the decision to park it somewhere it will be safe to leave it overnight. thank god our son was following us in his vehicle to give us a ride home. the following day we had to return to tow it home. i am beyond livid. this vehicle is only driven in town and the occasional vacation or road trip. it has a tow pkg but hasn't been used to pull things. it has always been meticulously maintained by my husband that is a mechanic. this vehicle has never been misused or abused. so what is the problem with chevrolet suburban's? we have had absolutely no other issues with it and have loved this vehicle. i have researched and noticed i am not the only one with this issue.. what is the problem? how does chevrolet plan on handling this issue? three transmissions in one vehicle with that low of mileage is ridiculous. chevrolet you are producing faulty products. there is no excuse for 2 transmissions going on a 3rd, in a vehicle with that low of mileage... third transmission, really? i have always loved and promoted chevrolet, but not any more. the taxpayers bailed chevrolet out of bankruptcy and you still screw over the consumer. if anyone else has had any issues like this please let me know. i am furious that i have to have a 3rd, yes 3rd transmission in a vehicle with under 110,000 miles on it.... *tr | |||

| I have a 2001 chevy suburban and this is the 5th. transmission i have put in the vehicle. the transmission first failed at 15,339 miles and was repaired under warranty. at 50,525 miles it failed again and cost me $1802.94 to fix. at 62,823 it failed again and a chevrolet dealer in oklahoma repaired it,for $2279.24, and gave it a one year warranty. 11 months and 10800 miles later it failed again. this time the chevy dealer in missouri wants $1600 to repair it and said the same exact parts did not fail so the one year warranty does not apply!!!!!!!! this vehicle is driven by my wife around town. all of a sudden you loose power. *jb | |||
