TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ILLUMINATED IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURE WAS ALERTED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

WAS IN TRAFFIC WENT TO BACK UP AND HEARD A POP. IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION SUN SHELL GEAR FAILING. (AAMCO TRANSMISSION SAID SO). I WAS ON A HILL SO WHEN FAILED IT ROLLED FORWARD. STOPPED IT JUST IN TIME TO JUST BUMP CAR IN FRONT OF ME. WASN'T ANY VISIBLE DAMAGE SO DIDN'T FILE. HOWEVER I'VE DONE RESEARCH AND THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT ON THESE TRUCKS. IT SHOULD BE RECALLED AS I BELIEVE IT TO BE A SAFETY ISSUE. THANKS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED DIFFICULTY SHIFTING THE FIRST AND SECOND GEARS OF THE VEHICLE. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION. APPROXIMATELY FIFTY THOUSAND MILES LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE CONTACT IS IN THE PROCESS OF TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,000.

REACTION SUN GEAR SHELL FAILURE CAUSING LOSS OF REVERSE AND OTHER FORWARD GEARS. VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR TRANSMISSION. *TR

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE TRANSFER CASE FRACTURED. LESS THAN A YEAR LATER, THE TRANSFER CASE FRACTURED AGAIN. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, THE DIFFERENTIAL FAILED. THE SALES/SERVICE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT ALERTED.

THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN 1 HOUR AT FREEWAY SPEEDS THEN WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THE 1-2 UP SHIFT SLAMS INTO 2ND. THE RESULTING HARD UPSHIFT CAUSES A FORWARD UNCONTROLLED LURCH FORWARD. THIS IS PARTICULARLY HAZARDOUS IN RUSH HOUR STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. CORRECTION IS A KNOWN GM ISSUE TSB 01-07-30-023A. BUT NOT AVAILABLE AT MANUFACTURERS FINANCIAL PARTICIPATION IF OUT OF BASIC WARRANTY. THE ISSUE IS A DESIGN DEFECT IN MATERIAL SELECTION AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED ACROSS THE BOARD. THE LURCHING UPSHIFT IS NOT AN IF IT WILL OCCUR ON A VEHICLE BUT A WHEN WILL IT OCCUR SYMPTOM. RESEARCH ON THE COMMONALITY OF THIS DEFECT CAN BE RESEARCHED THROUGH ANY SEARCH ENGINE USING THE DTC P1870. *NM

FROM THE FIRST DAY THAT I/WE PURCHASED THIS TRUCK THERE HAVE BEEN TROUBLE, WE WERE SOLD AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE AMOUNT OF $2,200.00 WHICH WAS NULL AND VOID FROM THE START, THIS IS THE 10TH TIME IT HAS BEEN TAKEN INTO THE REPAIR SHOP FOR THE SAME ISSUES ALONE, WE HAVE BEEN CHARGED REPEATEDLY FOR THESE REPAIRS WHICH WE WERE TOLD WOULD BE COVERED THROUGH THE WARRANTY AND YET THERE HAS BEEN TO COVERAGE TO DATE TO OUR KNOWLEDGE. *NM

I PURCHASED MY 1999 GM TRUCK AND I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION SINCE I PURCHASED IT. I HAD THE TRANSMISSION SERVICED TWICE AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS FINE. NOW MY TRANSMISSION IS SKIPPING FIRST GEAR AND GOING STRAIGHT INTO SECOND GEAR. THE VEHICLE WARRANTY, OF COURSE, HAS NOW EXPIRED. MY SISTER-IN-LAW ALSO HAS A 1999 GM VAN, AND HER TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REPLACED. SHE WAS EXPERIENCING THE SAME CONDITIONS I HAVE AND SHE HAD HER VEHICLE INTO SERVICE FOR THE SAME ISSUES I HAVE. MY SON'S GIRLFRIEND'S MOTHER HAS A 1999 GM SUBURBAN AND SHE HAS JUST HAD HER TRANSMISSION REPLACED. SHE HAD EXPERIENCED THE SAME PROBLEMS MY SISTER-IN-LAW AND MYSELF HAVE EXPERIENCED AND SHE TOO HAS HAD HER VEHICLE IN FOR SERVICE FOR THE SAME ISSUES. I CANNOT BELIEVE GM HAS NOT HAD A RECALL ON THEIR TRANSMISSIONS THAT WERE PLACED IN 1999 GM TRUCK-TYPE VEHICLES. THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS. I AM RESEARCHING TO SEE HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT 1999 GM TRUCK-TYPE VEHICLES HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. *AK
