Automatic Transmission problems of the 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500

While making a left turn from a 60 mph highway in my 2006 Chevrolet c1500 truck my right rear axle came completely out with tire still attached. Thank god I had slowed to about 20 mph to make the left turn when it happened or a crash could have resulted. I am reporting this because as I said I was on a highway going 60 mph and if the axle had come out at that speed it could have been bad. The failure seems to be that the end of the axle broke off where the keeper goes. I am going to have to have the axle replaced and I will have the old part. This happened on thanksgiving and I was very thankful that my son and I were safe. Like I said it could have been much worse.

Purchased a new truck in 2006. The truck had just over 42000 original miles. The trucks warranty was 3 years 36 miles. And the transmission is shot which chevy is doing absolutely nothing. The transmission shop is telling me this is a really odd incident and that I should file a complaint with you.

The tranny in my 06 silverado quit shifting from 2nd to 3rd gear. My truck had 45,700 miles, just out of the warranty by 9,700. There was no warning signs leading up to the failure. Not even a message from the dash computer or a transmission light. Dealership said tranny wasn't putting enough pressure in the shift plates and it smoked a couple of them. Dealership also said they don't know what causes the problems it just happens. Luckily for me dealership called a rep and I only had to pay a $500 dollar deductible because my pickup was so well cared for and there was no reason for this to happen. So if this happens to you make sure you check into them or yourself calling a rep. $500 is cheaper than a rebuild or new tranny.

The contact owns a 2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact accidentally realized that when the vehicle is in the off position, he is able to shift into drive and/or reverse. The dealer stated informed him that he would have to pay for a diagnostic since his vehicle was no longer under warranty. The failure occurred on April 30, 2008. The failure mileage was 41,190.

My truck seems to want to go in reverse when starting, in morning after setting over night. It occurs often. The gm dealership where I have taken the pickup truck to (several times) told me it is" normal" even gave me a copy of a document, document# 1884620. Doc. States no repair should be attempted.

2006 Chevrolet silverado hybrid, upon coming to a stop light in the mountains of north carolina the hybrid vehicle shuts the motor off until until you remove your foot from the brake pedal. When you remove your foot from the brake pedal before you can place your foot on the accelerator the truck rolls backwards at a high rate of speed depending on the incline. Chevrolet customer service has said there is no fix for this flaw as of yet and expects us to continue driving the truck as is. I feel this is very unsafe and this vehicle design should never have been sold in the mountains. Thank you.
