| Description of the problem | My 2015 tahoe began hesitating when i pressed the gas pedal leading me to believe i had purchased some bad gasoline. This continued for two weeks without any warning lights coming on. I decided to take the vehicle to be checked by an automotive place and as i was driving a warning light finally came on. They hooked it to computer and referred me to a transmission specialist located three miles away. The car broke down in a construction zone on the way to the transmission shop. My 2015 tahoe only had 107,000 miles on it and the transmission had to be replaced. The transmission shop stated that they had seen about four other tahoes of the same year that had to have transmissions replaced. It ended up costing me $3300. 00 to replace the transmission. I think had a warning light been activated two weeks before i may could have taken it to the shop earlier and had it repaired instead of replaced. This seems to me way too soon to have to replace a transmission in an automobile. |
