In owners' own words
My transmission is slipping and causing safety concerns while driving on the highway. Itâs a 2017 Chevy Tahoe that has less than 100,000 miles and we have been reading on the internet about many others having the same problem. We just took it to a shop and they informed us that itâs a common issue with this model chevy and it will cost $5,000 to replace the transmission. Power train
Transmission stopped working ! Only has less then 70000 mi on it !!! Was stopped at a stop sign took my foot off the brake and it started to roll backwards! I waited about 10 or 15 minutes then it started to go again but with a strange shuttering feeling . It soon stopped again and same thing wouldnt go for a few minutes then again it felt weak and underpowered Power train · reported at 67,000 miles
Brakes fixed as part of recall. Transmission is recent problem and has since been fixed. Code p0741tcc pump , metal in pan, torque converter coming apart, valve stuff off. Our transmission failed and had to be replaced. When reviewing with staff, no surprises. They were aware that this transmission can be problematic. Power train
