The transmission has a problem that causes the truck to lurch forward just after coming to a complete stop. The lurch can be quite strong causing the vehicle to jump forward in excess of a foot. The lurch occurs at unpredictable times and without warning. The best description I can offer is that it feals as if the vehicle has been hit in the rear by another vehicle. It has occured at least 6 times on various occasions.
2001 GMC Sierra transmission complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 14 of 14, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Transmission surges at all speeds. Intermittent. Deal states could not reproduce problem. Transmission has slipped into gear while taking off from a stoplight. Rpm's went up to 2000 before engaging gear.
Automatic transmission makes gear noise in 1st and 4th gears. At purchase, vehicle had bad vibration problem. Dealer balanced wheels, which did not eliminate problem. Dealer tested tires and found one defective tire...the other three had to be "indexed" on the wheels. Driveshaft, suspension components/hardware and parts of the chassis have significant rust. (tiresize: p235/75r16)
There was a large "booming" noise coming from vehicle everytime consumer drove it. This noise occurred when pulling away from a stopped position. Consumer took vehicle to dealership, and they greased differential. He was told this would correct the problem. Consumer still experienced the problem dealership said that there was nothing more they could do. Please provide any additional information/attachments.
