Tried to drive truck Dec. 28, 2005 had no reverse. By time I could drive to dealers it didn't want to shift in forward gears. Dealer took apart and said some things came apart inside the transmission. Cost me $2000. 2002 Silverado only had 45000 miles on it.
The contact stated while driving on the interstate there was severe vibration . He drove slowly to the dealer for inspection while the vibration weakened at a reduced speed. The dealer performed a diagnostic test that produced a code involving the automatic transmission. Upon further inspection, the extension housing of the transmission cracked and was leaking transmission oil. No repairs were performed by the dealer due to the extensive work and expense. The contact scheduled an appointment with a transmission specialist to repair the vehicle.
Hello: last week my transmission gave out on my 2002 chevy Silverado when I was going down the highway. After a detailed investigation, I have discovered that this is a common problem with this particular transmission, as they have corrected it on the 2003 models. I have 58,000 miles on my vehicle. The sun shell in the transmission "strips" out it's gears due to improper material used for the part. There is a technical bulletin on this matter. It cost me $2300 to have it fixed. Please let me know what I can do. Thanks so much.
The reverse gear went out in the transmission that cost $800. 00 to fix. Took vehicle to morris transmission service, and the dealer recommended to them that since the warranty expired they have been after gm to change it because it was the same part that broke every time. It was not a strong enough part for the transmission. This happened around August 4, 2005.
On the way to my doctor's appt, I noticed that my truck did not shift to 2nd very well, but I parked, and when I was attempting to back out of parking space, the truck would not go into reverse. On the way to dealership (rick hendrix Chevrolet), I noticed that it would not shift into 4th (overdrive). When I had the guys check my truck, they told me that the 2nd, 4th and reverse gears had gone out on my truck: a 2002 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 4dr extended cab LS 4wd 5. 3ltr engine. Which I have had for 1 year and 6 months. The dealership would not repair it unless I pay $1800! there is currently no recall on this problem, but there is a kit available for the dealership to fix it! there are many complaints I have found on the internet about this specific problem. . . I am lucky so far. . . I have not been injured or my 8 y/o daughter who I have full custody of and am concerned about her well being when riding in my vehicle! I guess people have to die in order for a recall to be made by general motors.
My 2002 Chevrolet Silverado z-71 transmission went out with only 45,000 miles on the truck. I had it repaired and was told it is a very common problem with Chevrolets and GMC trucks.
Transmission shifts hard. . . Was taken in and transmision was rebuilt due to unusual wear. Less than 5 months the transmision lost 2nd gear and reverse.
Driving down the road, some loud sound. Can't go in revserse at all. I only have 42000 miles on the truck. The transmission does not shift into 1st gear correctly, and has a hard time shifting into high gears, and the rpm stay high running in the truck. Need a new transmission. Chevrolet dealer that I bought it from call the 800 number for gm and they are paying for the over 3000 payment for a new transmission. Since it should not have broke at that time. Give me a break. I will not buy another gm car in my lifetime.
2002 chevy Silverado 1500 4x4 5. 3l transmission. Sun gear. . At 75000 miles the gear failed in a parking garage when I parked my truck I had appox. 2 feet between my truck and the wall. When I returned to my vehicle the trucks front bumper was touching the wall. Thankfully it wasn't parked so it would have rolled down the ramp. After starting my vehicle it did not have reverse and after getting it out of the ramp it would not shift into 2nd gear. I spoke with the dealer that I had purchased the truck from and he said that it was a common problem. Also I talked to other people that have the same transmission and they have had the same problems. I thenk there should be a recall on this because if I had something in tow or the parking brake were to fail it could posibly injure or kill some one if it were to roll away. I had to have my transmission rebuilt and the transmission shop said that it was a common problem and that gm has come out with a revised part that is hardend.
2002 chevy Silverado 1500 z71 5. 3l transmission sun gear. At 37260 miles the gear failed, my vehicle it did not have reverse, and it would not shift into 2nd gear. I had to have my transmission rebuilt and the transmission shop said that it was a common problem. The cost to me was $1963. 00 and if it is a known problem from the manufacturer then it should have been covered by general motors and not me or the other buyers of this model truck. Gm ought to reimburse us for the cost since they were aware of the problem and could have fixed it prior to the problem by recalls.
