My 2005 chevrolet silverado 1500 with less than 70,000 miles my transmission went out, it started with a little slip then worked fine but the next week it went out completely. The transmission was full of fluid and never leaked.
I was driving 55 MPH on a state highway when the engine started revving up. The transmission quit while driving down the highway with only 63,000 miles the transmission would engage but would slip out of gear around 45 MPH the dealer replaced the transmission at a cost of $2700. Took 3 days 18000 miles later driving down a country road the transmission quit again. I was able to limp it home (60 miles) in first gear. The dealer said it was a rare occurence. The dealer rebuilt the transmission free of charge but it took 11 days the dealer said forward spring assembly broke?
Catastrophic automatic transmission failure at 68,128 miles. Independent repair facility repaired transmission. I have retained the failed component.
