Had taken vehicle to dealer for brake service on front disc brakes due to wear on disc. Work after 15000 miles had to be performed again due to disk wearing out. Consumer believed that brakes were not heavy enough for vehicle. Disc warped causing vibrations and brake failure. The disc was turned a t 15k miles and was replaced at 28k. Transmission does not hold on hills. Front end was leaking due to front pinion seal failure . .

This vehicle has been a problem since we bought it. Right after we bought it we heard a roar in the rear end. The rear end was replace under the 3yr/36000mile warranty. Soon after that the alternator was replaced under warranty. Just recently we took a trip and towed our 18ft. Ski boat with us. When we returned my wife noticed a problem the next day. We had no reverse and that proved to be the transmission. We contaced the closest dealrer to mike morgan shreveport, la. They told us that they were so backed up with tranmission problems that it would be at least a week before they could pick up the truck to even look at it. Then they would tell me what they thought. Well, I paid $25,000 for a vehicle to sit with a bad transmission and they think I will let it sit while my wife and children walk!!! I don't think so! during the last of July, my brother and law and I replace the starter on this same truck to the tune of $250. 00 yesterday I found a water pump leak and was told that would cost me around $200. 00 to repair. Oh yes, the transmission cost me $1,400. 00 to repair. As you can see, I am having a ton of problems with this vehicle. Gm has thumbed their nose at me and more or less said "tough luck"! well, I don't think that is fair. The transmission is what really upset me. I paid extra to have towing package on this truck and we pulled a boat 1 time and this happens. I can't beleive that this truck can't get at least 100,000 miles on the original transmission. I also have a boss that owns a 1999 suburban that had the tranmission fail on him this last Friday. His truck has only 54,000 miles. Well, as you can see, I think gm has a problem!!! please let me know what I can do!.
Transmission problem: at 40 mph going downhill unknowingly went into neutral and accelerating to maintain speed went over 3000 rpm. Normally at that speed 1400 rpm. Transmission bolt missing. Found by owner after dealer performed oil change. No paint scratched where bolt would have been if there was a bold there from manufacturer. Dealer replaced bolt at no charge. Hot front brake left side & tire feels hot - noticed by smell from left side - right side front no heat or smell. Found after traveling 60 mph and wheel & tire hot to touch. Dealer examined all brakes, claimed all normal, even brake pad wear on all brakes and found no abnormal conditions, but no problem since they dealer looked at this. (tiresize: 265/16)( dot number: tire size: 265/16 ).

No summary.
When accelerating from a stop the transmission reacts as if in neutral. After a few seconds, it drops into gear. Since no "codes" show up when the car is taken in for repair the dealer will not acknowledge there's a problem. This is a severe safety hazard that could result in an accident if the driver is attempting to cross a roadway, mover over railroad tracks, etc. The vehicle doesn't move when the accelerator is applied.

According to dealership in mcdonough, GA that fixed this truck this type of problem is not uncommon at all there seems to be a problem on the internal components of the transmission - est cost $2000. 00 to fix.
The vehicle was placed in reverse but it would not move. It was placed back in park and left running in my garage. I got out of the vehicle in order to look over the extierior for problems; none found. I then kicked/pushed the back bumper and immediately heard a clunk, the vehicle was thrown into reverse and headed at me. It caused a great deal of damage to the vehicle, my other vehicle parked in the garage and my house. I was almost run over by this driver-less vehicle. I do have a witness that saw the vehicle charging at me.
While driving on the highway all of a sudden vehicle cut off and stalled. Contacted dealer.
Transmission was stalling.
The transmission still clunks everytime I start driving the car from a complete stop. The dealer does not know what is the problem.
