Transmisson will shift hard sometimes from complete stop or while traveling , mainly from complete stop or stopping at stop light and not a complete stop . Its like it is slipping. Now air bag light is coming sometimes when car is 1st crank. Dash is also coming apart. Car has 118,000 miles on it. Trasmission is worring me the most.

When accelerating from a stop, the transmission slips and then shifts hard (slams into the next gear) no matter how slow I try to take off. This happens no matter if I come to a complete stop or not but only happens when the transmission tries to go from 1st to 2nd. The problem occurs about 50% of the time. It doesn't matter how far into the drive I am. Happens when first started driving for the day and after a 40 minute drive. Vehicle only has 62,000 miles and the car is never driven hard!

From a stopped point the transmission slips upon acceleration causing the car to make a loud clunking noise and then jerk and bark the tires until the car goes into gear almost causing me to be rear ended each time.

My speedometer, RPM, and gas gauges are inaccurate. I cannot tell how fast I am going, nor how much gas I have. Then ever since I bought my car, brand new, my transmission has been slipping, its an automatic. The dealer fixed it the 1st time, but now again, 90,000 miles later, its us starting to happen again.my radio has stopped working, no light or noise period. Please recall because I have read literally hundreds of posts of the same problem in the same car. I paid good money for my car, not for this. All if these problems are unsafe and I really hate for my 1 year old boy to ride in it. Please, please recall the car.

I hear from someone that you may be able to help! Below is a blog I made to the monte carlo forum site. Please read to get an idea of what my complaints are. I own a 2007 monte carlo ss. I have been to chevy 6 times under warranty for this transmission issue. Each time they told me they did not find any error codes or problems on the test drives. I find this hard to believe. My transmission shifts hard at times like it is missing. This slipping / hard shifting is a safety hazard for getting on to parkways and needing to respond quickly to certain situations. All seems to be happening in first gear. I brought the car back to them about 2 months ago (out of warranty) for an engine burning oil issue which by the way I also brought to their attention 5 times under warranty. Which all of a sudden (you guessed it) they admitted the engine was burning oil and I wound up having to pay $1000.00 to tare down the engine and $250.00 to flush out the transmission (even though they did not find a transmission issue for a 7th time). They told me the cylinders were not scored and were fine so they changed the pistons and rings. Supposedly the said the job cost $3600 +. My a-- how nice of them, (not). Being I paid for the tare down your telling me pistons and rings cost $3600. Bs, still to early to see if the engine is still burning oil. And here's the kicker-(the car only has 50,000 miles on it and I had a 6 year 60,000 mile warranty on it). So now I am still stuck with this transmission issue which they do not have an answer for. Any suggestions on what I should do next. And going back to chevy is not an acceptable answer unless it's in front of a judge. Any further questions please do not hesitate to e-mail me.

While attempting to accelerate to avoid another driver, the transmission slipped. Instead of the car accelerating, driver was forced to swerve and hard brake forcing the vehicle off the road just barely avoiding an accident causing minor bruising on the children in the back seat. I more of these same complaints on your website and am told that chevrolet knows about this problem and has done nothing to fix it. The mechanic I talked to said that he has seen 3 of these himself and its usually the torque converter, and can't get an aftermarket one yet and people are replacing the entire transmission.

2006 chevy monte carlo ss, started to notice the transmission slipping at about 77,000 miles, when stopped and beginning acceleration it hesitates than lunges into gear while making a grinding noise at the same time..checked the transmission fluid and didn't notice any burnt fluid or particles in it....this incident repeated itself for 7 months and today it wouldn't go into drive or any of the low gears...its pretty obvious by all the complaints on various forums that this is a manufactures flaw! Disappointed!!!

When accelerating from a stop, the transmission (in drive) immediately shifts hard into second gear then slips a little before engaging. If I shift the gears manually, the transmission shifts normal. It does this only in drive and shifting between first and second gear. The fluid is clear, full and not burnt. The trans fluid was flushed about 4 months ago with no problems before now. The car has not been driven hard and has average amount of miles.

Transmission is slipping some times the gears do not seem to catch and it slips and jerks the car into gear causing the car to occasionally lose traction during acceleration. Can be a little scary at times. *tr
