About 3 or 4 moths ago, there was a light that came on in vehicle that said transmission fluid hot. This happened on the interstate. Also, there was a vehicle warning light that instructed driver to pull over and let vehicle idle.

Then, dealer changed fluid and filter, and instructed the owner that he could continue driving it until it absolutely had to be repaired. The owner continued driving the vehicle, and has hard shifting. Owner called the dealership, who reported that could be a symptom of the computer trying to compensate fort he transmission which was failing.

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.

My 2000 chevy Silverado with 75000 miles transmision would not shift from 2nd gear to 3rd gear. The 3rd and 4th gear plate is burned out because chevy makes this part of a plastic resin instead of a aluminum plate.
While driving my truck on the freeway, the transmission did not shift higher than 2nd gear, while in (d). I have to slow down and drive off the freeway. This vehicle had all the scheduled services at my local dealer and this truck was driven like a car, no towing, no hauling. But, at 49k the transmission locks up. This is unacceptable for a $29k truck that is 3 yrs. Old! right now the service charge is $800 and that is to pull the transmission to find out what is wrong.
While driving the vehicle at normal speeds the rear drive train broke (rear axle).
The transmission hesitates excessively while driving.

Problem was due to gears split which grinded all the teeth. Chevrolet was contacted.
