1 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 10/03/2010

I have a 2007 Chevrolet 4wd Suburban LS that has its transmission rebuilt because the truck just won't go. It has 34k plus miles and 42 month old. I wanted to know if this is common on this kind of vehicle and why did it happen.

2 Automatic Transmission problem

Failure Date: 07/07/2008

The contact owns a 2007 Chevrolet Suburban. Shortly after the vehicle received a transmission flush, it would not move forward in the drive position after being placed into reverse. The following day, the contact took the vehicle to the dealer and they replaced three plates, a valve, filter kit, and a gasket kit. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure recurred less than a year later after another transmission flush was performed. While driving 65 mph, the vehicle began to hesitate and the engine revved, but the vehicle was losing speed. She drove to a repair shop and the mechanic stated that the transmission was not shifting past first gear. The contact took the vehicle back to the dealer that performed the original repair, but they stated that it was no longer under warranty and was not their responsibility. Through online research, the contact found numerous complaints about this same defect. She believes that a recall should be issued. The failure mileage was 65,414 and current mileage was 123,000.
