Silverado V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 140,000 miles

Our 2002 Silverado's transmission went out with no warning. After dealing with a hurricane, finally being able to get on our feet and build a house, thinking things are going to be alright low and behold the damn truck breaks down!!!! My husband has been driving this truck w/ no problems with the transmission. He got in, cranked the damn thing, put it in reverse and it made an awful squeal/shreak/grind/ whatever you want to call it. We called a family friend who happens to be a mechanic and he had the same thing happen to his GMC truck. He told us the transmission is shot!!! I had a man call me about extending our warranty and my dumb ass told him that the transmission was shot, he told me sorry I can't help you but he did however tell me that the 2000-2006 transmissions were known to go out in these vehicles. What a crock. Can someone do something or do we just have to keep shelling out money for a mistake that a multimillion dollar company made?
