We're sorry to hear that all three of you are having transmission concerns. If you would like for us to check into this further with you, please email us at socialmedia@gm.com (include your name and the last 8 digits of your VIN, as well as a description of your concern).

We went directly to the dealer to find out even though we are under 100,000 miles at 94,000; our 5 years had expired on our 2007 Tahoe LT. $61,000 for a loaded SUV and the tranny goes out under a hundred? Really?
This is my second Tahoe. My 2001 ran like a top for 170,000 miles. So I bought this one. I've had 4 Explorers and one Expedition - none of them had major problems. Now I am sitting here 200 miles from home in a hotel late at night while the family is sleeping, trying to find a solution
on the net. I hope GM Customer Assistance comes through and restores my faith in GM.

Unfortunately, it is true that the 5 year/100,000 mile powertrain was not introduced on all models until 2007. However, the warranty expires on whichever occurs first, mileage or time; even if the warranty was included on your 2006 it would be expired by a hear and half to two years.
We can look into this further, but I cannot promise anything up front. Please email us at socialmedia@gm.com (include your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN, and a summary of the situation) if you're interested.

thanks
Are you already working with Customer Assistance on this? We're sorry that you are experiencing continued troubles with your Tahoe's transmission and want to make sure that the repairs go well. If you should need anything, email us at socialmedia@gm.com (include your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN, and a brief recap of the situation for the agent answering the email).

We did get some help from corporate gm on our third transmission , so keep at them . BUT the system they use is to pay mechanics by the job , not time . So it incentives the mechanics to change a lot of parts , whether it fixes your problem or not
When you visited the dealership, did they have you sit in a similar vehicle to demonstrate that it's consistent across the 2012 Tahoe? Let us know if we can check into this further for you by contacting us via email at socialmedia@gm.com (include your name and contact information, the last 8 digits of your VIN and mileage, and the name of your involved dealership).

It sounds as though you've been in to the dealership for diagnosis and have been told that the vehicle is operating normally.

I'm sorry that your emails from 2008 went unanswered ("Six times I email them back in 08"). Have you tried more recently? Were all of these transmission replacements done with your GM dealership? We can be reached at socialmedia@gm.com if you would like for us to check into this further.

I have a 1998 Tahoe 5.7L, from what I can tell it has a 4l60e tranny, and the autotrac transfer case. I bought the Tahoe with milk in the oil pan due to a blown intake gasket. I also bought a 1996 Chevy 4x4 5.7L that had frame issues, but an engine with 24,000 on a complete rebuild (top to bottom). I transplanted the engine into the Tahoe, and left everything else as it was. The engine I removed from the Tahoe ran excellent, even though it was full of water, and the tranny shifted great. I thought this was going to be a straight forward engine swap (boy was I wrong). After many issues getting the engine running properly, it now purrs like a kitten. I pulled it out of my garage a few days ago, set up some ramps and drove it onto the ramps to have more room to install the bar on the passengers side that goes from the engine mount to the tranny bell housing. After all was done, I went to pull the Tahoe off of the ramps, and I couldn't find a gear anywhere. It acts like it is in neutral. RPM's do not change at all when selecting any gear. I thought at first that maybe the transfer case was stuck in neutral. I read a forum here about this issue, but mostly being stuck in a 4WD gear. My first suspect was the selector switch on the dash, as the lights were not properly working on it. I pulled it out, and with slight pressure on the back of the switch, the lights would work. Although, even with the lights not working, you can hear the mechanical switch on the transfer case, and the front diff change gears. So I figured all was ok with the selector except the lights not working. I have checked the fuses and all of them are good. I have removed the motor from the side of the transfer case, and have tried manually selecting the gears to see if I could find 2HI in there somewhere. I was able to change the selector (although it was pretty hard to turn). I have another transfer case laying on the floor of the garage from the truck I took the motor out of, so I tried turning them on that transfer case, and it felt the same, so I assume it should turn a little hard, as this transfer case was working well when pulled also. Tranny fluid is good, all electrical connections are good (tranny was never pulled from the Tahoe). Vacation is coming up in 12 days, and I desperately need this Tahoe to pull my camper with, or I am going to have a very disappointed family on my hands. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I have been told that it could be that the tranny pump just went out. Something about the alignment when I matched the tranny to the engine not being right, and shearing some "ears" off of the pump?? I have swapped probably 10 or 12 motors in my time, and have never ruined a tranny doing it. Anything??

And now:

no a/c in rear
This truck has been babied since I've owned it. Never towed, never thrashed, never been off road. I've heard of lemons but I think this is more of a general quality issue. Seems excessive for a truck with 115,000km. I have a Ford with 150 k, and no issues. I make sure I bring this up with the 100 or so people I encounter each week in my sales territory. Hey GM, is this what you are still selling? GM is the worst scam out there. Talk about BUYER BEWARE!
I have a 2007 Chevy Tahoe LT and everything come to a complete stop and go, the back end feels as though I'm being rear-ended by another vehicle. I took my SUV too a local dealer on to be informed that my Rear-End was going out and it would cost roughly 2500 to fix! I read several comments on here with people who have had the same issue that I'm currently have. Trying to see what fixed or what can fix this ongoing issue?
I have an 05 tahoe that I bought about a year ago. Recently it has started to hesitate between 1st and 2nd gear. Once I had stopped at a stop light and when I went to leave, it slammed into first gear but hasn't done it since. Looking at a new transmission??
