2 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 07/05/2024

The 6l90 tranmission failed with no warning at 58,408 miles. Had to back the truck up in traffic over 1/2 mile to reach a safe spot. Seems gm is having a lot of problems with this transmission and their 8 speed transmission. No assistance from gm to repair seeing I was out of the 5 year 100000 warranty. Seems gm know about theses problems. Had to spend $5k to get no dealer service to install a remanufactured trans, hoping it will not happen again.
