I replaced the transmission in my chevy tahoe twice. It is clear that other owners have had the same problems with tahoe transmissions over the past ten years. What does it take for gm to correct the problem??? Maybe this site can at least help get the word out about these transmissions.

On my new chevy tahoe, 2007, the transmission has slipped several times (50+) over the last 20,000 miles. Each occurrence was minor and when mentioned to the dealer at normal service intervals was told was common for a truck (I.e. They are stiff when cold, can do that when you go around a corner, etc.) this finally culminated with complete transmission failure while in traffic. The repair offered by chevy is to just replace the defective part with a like part that the mechanic believes is not different. Hence we swapped a failed defective part with the same design that I must assume will fail again! This is not a fix and only delays the inevitable once again. Maybe next time it will break when passing or out in the middle of no where? The gear is called a sprag gear and all the gm dealerships are silently aware of the problem.

The transmission went out on my 2007 tahoe ltz with 18,500 miles. I coasted to the side of the road. Tahoe would not move in "d", but would in other gears. In "3" I headed to my dealer (about 15 miles away). "3" went out when I had to slow for a light. I then drove in "2" to the dealer. I was told this was the first problem like this they had seen in a 2007. After inspection, I was give technical names of the transmission parts that had torn up inside. I received the tahoe back in 1 week and was provided a free rental car by chevrolet. I have nothing but the highest praise for my dealer, but am extremely disappointed in such a major problem in a new vehicle. I am supposed to receive a full copy of all work done for this repair.

Transmission failure at 25k miles. Driving at low speed and turning a corner when I experienced a sharp shutter of the entire vehicle as though I had run over something that did not allow my wheels to turn. Transmission could be shifted from park to drive but there were no forward or reverse gears.
