Coming home from a day trip, heard a weird sound, and took it to dealer next day. They pulled transmission stick and found shavings throughout. Never mentioned that this is an issue with this model vehicle. I took it to a mechanic for a second opinion. I was advised to look up on this site, this is not the first transmission/torque converter replacement they have done on Chevy vehicles. Dealer never mentioned issues with torque converter.
I had work done at the reputable dealer for $6800. It did not have an extended warranty. Pissed dealer was not forthcoming with this issue and did not mention the need for torque converter to be replaced. Had it in less than a week prior for normal routine checkup and oil change. No mention of any issues at that time. This happened unexpectedly with no warning lights, signs, etc. Very costly issue for people on Social Security retirement. It's the only vehicle we have, and take good care of it. 76,600 miles in 6 years!
