    What Owners Say

    Transmission rebuild or replacement

    "Vehicle started shifting rough and not changing gears. Took it to CHEVROLET and whole thing is shot. It was a junk transmission they put in that year model. Thankfully we bought an extended warranty that covers it or we would have been out $7000. This was after replacing all the lifters six months ago."

    Anonymous, TX (2019 Chevrolet Tahoe RST 5.3-L V8)

    ""This is the second time a transmission failed on new Tahoe I purchased. This failure occurred at 55000 miles. No consideration for drive train warranty. Was told my new transmission is guaranteed for 100,000 miles. How ironic that the $9000 replacement is now covered for 100k mile warranty.""

    Unintended activation of the driveline-protection system will cause unintended braking on the wheel on the opposite side of the failed sensor, causing the vehicle to pull to one side unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash.
    Summary:
    General Motors LLC (GM) is recalling certain 2015-2020 Chevrolet Suburban, Tahoe, and GMC Yukon, and 2014-2018 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 and GMC Sierra 1500 vehicles equipped with a 5.3-liter engine, a 3.08-ratio rear axle and four-wheel drive. If a wheel-speed sensor fails, while the vehicle is traveling between 41 and 60 mph in four-wheel or automatic mode, the Electronic-Brake Control Module (EBCM) software may activate the driveline-protection system.
    What should you do:
    GM will notify owners, and dealers will reprogram the EBCM, free of charge. The recall began December 11, 2019. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-630-2438 or GMC customer service at 1-800-462-8782. GM's number for this recall is N192261050.
    For more information:
    Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
