Power Train Problems of Chevrolet 1500

Vehicle was on cruise control prior to accident, I lost consciousness & do not remember anything about the crash early on. Was informed the vehicle rolled front to rear 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 times, prior to coming to rest on its top. The vehicle was a total loss due to this accident. I spent 3 days in icu and am now recuperating at home. No airbags deployed due to this accident . The vehicle was a total loss due to the accident.

The transmission in this vehicle is a total piece of junk. There are many, many vehicles with this same transmission. It locked up slinging the driver into the steering wheel and windshield. This broke the bolts holding the seat to the frame. The cost to fix was over 1200 dollars. I've talked with several transmission shops, each one is in business due to the fact that this transmission is defective. They repair or replace more of these than all other times 400. It appears that this problem has been a problem since first being used. It also appears that no one is being held accountable for the repairs and/or deaths, injury that is being caused by this defective unit. It's oindtalled in millions of vehicles worldwide. When is something going to be done ? when is someone going to be held accountable ? stop this madness, please ! the time it's taked me to fill out the form, dozens of people were injured due to the above statement.

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.

I have owned the vehicle 3 weeks. On Monday August 6th, the vehicle stalled on a street in a commercial area. I was able to coast to a parking space. The engine restarted and I drove the vehicle CA. 50 yards before another failure, when I coasted to a stop sign. The vehicle did not restart, and I was towed to my home. On Wednesday augus 8th, the vehicle stalled 3x at a discount store parking lot, and finally stalled at work on the same day. The mechanic said that this was the pmd on the chevy 6. 5l diesel engine, and was a common failure. This is a real hazard, as the vehicle does not always restart, and were I going down the hiway (expecially with a trailer), I would have lost accelleration power steering and power brakes. This could easily cost someone their lives.

Noticed coolant level would get low. Found water pump mounting gasket leaking, replaced water pump and gaskets, but continued lossing coolant. Found out there is a know defect with chevy 4. 8 and 5. 3 vortex engine heads cracking around the mounting bolt holes. Chevy issued a TSB but will not warranty a know defect. It strange they will cover a hvac blower motor issue that is know but not a known problem with heads cracking without any fault of the owner.

This truck has been a nightmare concerning all aspects of braking system. First at 44,000 abs sensors needed to be replaced, then at 53,400 all 4 new rotors and pads all the way around, 82,000 miles parking brake needs replaced, 81,000 front axle seal leaking, then at approximately 88,000 miles brake lines pops with trailer attached. Truck is towed to garage only to find that brake lines are rusty and popped. All lines were supposed to be replaced total cost over $1,000. At 96,600 need front rotors and rear brakes, at 126,00 need rear rotors and front brakes and 1 original brake line from rear to front and right front that never was replaced. Cost 268. 00. Used different garages for work and both have had trouble replacing hydraulic lines and one is a state inspection station. Braking system has cost me a fortune and I will not buy another chevy due to high repair cost. Truck was not neglected and serviced regularly. Had to replace transmission at 114,000 miles which left me stranded once again.
