| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 2002 chevy silverado 1500 4x4 5.3l transmission.sun gear..at 75000 miles the gear failed in a parking garage when i parked my truck i had appox.2 feet between my truck and the wall.when i returned to my vehicle the trucks front bumper was touching the wall.thankfully it wasn't parked so it would have rolled down the ramp. after starting my vehicle it did not have reverse and after getting it out of the ramp it would not shift into 2nd gear.i spoke with the dealer that i had purchased the truck from and he said that it was a common problem.also i talked to other people that have the same transmission and they have had the same problems. i thenk there should be a recall on this because if i had something in tow or the parking brake were to fail it could posibly injure or kill some one if it were to roll away. i had to have my transmission rebuilt and the transmission shop said that it was a common problem and that gm has come out with a revised part that is hardend. |
