This for a chevrolet c1500 truck, year 2000. The yoke in the differential won't stay tight. It has come loose twice. I have had it repaired twice. Looks like it is coming loose again. Starts to make a whining sound when it starts to get loose, especially when going downhill.
2000 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 16 of 16, newest first, as owners wrote them.
My transmission went out @ 70637 miles . This conversion van is used mainly for long distance travel. Isn't it rather coincidental that my neighbors like van's transmission went out too. Now this is after the extended warranty expired on 3/24/2005. This van has been nothing but trouble. I have never gone on a trip with out some sort of vehicle trouble with this van. It left me in the boondocks of minnesota last summer three times because of a faulty "security" computer chip and has numerous "engine check lights" that come on and then off. But, the main thing is the transmission. I firmly believe that general motors installed a transmission that is too small for a vehicle of this size and weight.
Consumer called complaining about having problems with the transmission. Also stated that the vehicle has only 62000 miles. Gm was contacted and they are aware of the problem but they have no recalls out. Ts
Rear axle had broken after making a lot of noise while driving. Had taken to dealership, and mechanic repaired axle. But problem/noise, had reappeared. Mechanic indicated will not repair until axle breaks again.
Vehicle does not shift properly because car was purchased with a missing out off transfer case seal. While driving computer system completely shus down, and vehicle is also pouring transmission fluids.
1. The first incident with the transmission going out was a factory defect. It had problems going into reverse and it would get stuck between 1st and 2nd gear it was replaced free of charge. 2. The second incident was a o-ring busted loose from the radiator that connected the transmission line to the radiator and spurted transmission fluid on the exhaust manifold and spark plug wires with caused the engine compartment to catch on fire. The replaced what they felt needed to be replaced.
