Description of the problem | I experience a vibration at the front of my truck when i accelerated at highway speeds. I was told by my dealership that i needed new transmission fluid. They said that shavings got into the fluid. Causing this problem. I asked if my transmission was damaged and they said no. They wanted me to use the car for 200 hundred miles and report back to them if the problem persists. I have doubts that this is going to solve the problem. Whatever contaminated the transmission the first time will probably happen again. I want some protection in case my transmission fails after warranty period ends. I cannot afford this out of pocket repair. I was not notified by chevy that this was a problem. I was getting an oil change and mentioned to them if they would check out the front end of the truck.. Then they mentioned to me that their was a service bulletin from chevy about this problem. Why wasn't i notified about this problem?? Repair date, transmission fluid changed 5/27/2020. |
