| Description of the problem | Have taken our truck twice to the dealer we bought from (chevy dealer) for transmission problems and they haven't been able to find anything wrong. The transmission feels like it will randomly slip into neutral, and when i say randomly i mean while going 60mph on the highway or from driving after stopping at a stop sign or traffic light. We press the gas and get nowhere. Sometimes, we switch into neutral, then back into drive and that fixes the problem, but it mostly happens as we are driving, which causes our speed to slow dramatically. It takes around 20-30seconds for it to right itself. We bought our truck in june 2018 and the first time this happened was 3wks later while we were on vacation. Now it happens regularly/daily. We were hoping it was just a transmission fluid problem, since the last time we took it to the shop (jan. 9, 2019), they changed the fluid and it seemed to be working fine, however this happened again just a few days ago. |
