Typical transmission symptoms owners report
- Owners report a 'shift to park' warning appearing even when the truck is already in park, sometimes preventing the ignition from shutting off or the key from releasing for extended periods.
- Some drivers describe sudden loss of power or unexpected gear jumps, such as shifting directly from second to eighth gear at 50-70 MPH with no warning light.
- Several complaints describe the transmission locking up or jerking violently, especially while towing or driving uphill, with one owner noting GM issued a software reprogramming recall that they felt did not fully fix the issue.
- Multiple owners report the transfer case failing or the vehicle jerking in 4-wheel-drive mode during hard braking or turning at slow speed.
- One owner described the transmission oil cooler line rubbing against the engine oil cooler line and leaking, causing the truck to stop accelerating while towing a trailer at highway speed.
