On my way to work on the freeway about 10 miles out I started having transmission problems, it wasn't shifting right and and sometimes it would stay on one gear too long and the RPM would stay at 4500rpm before it shifts and this is while cruising at 65mph. And when I try to accelerate I would hear a humming/whistling sound from within and I couldn't go past 70mph. Then the 'check engine' light came on. When I got to a stop sign after getting off the freeway my Tahoe would hesitate when I stepped on the gas. When I got to the parking lot I tried to back-in to parking space and my Tahoe would not go on reverse. And when I was leaving the parking lot to take my vehicle to the dealer to get checked out, when I put it on drive nothing happens and after about 10 seconds the vehicle jumped into gear and jerked it forward without stepping on the gas so much so, that the rear tires even screeched a bit! it scared the sh*# out of me. I would really like to know if anybody else had this problem and what was done to rectify it.

I was driving into town from home one morning and noticed the vehicle was acting funny like it wasn't shifting gears. I called my husband and thankfully I was close to our local cheverolet dealer and by the time I pulled in which was only a couple of miles the transmission temp was very high and was not shifting gears at all. They evaluated it and thought maybe they could just flush transmission since it was only a 2017 and not an older vehicle but determined it needed a whole new transmission. Could have caused unsafe conditions if it would have just quit in the middle of a busy intersection.

*takata recall* I have been noticing a lot of different issues with my 2017 Tahoe premier. The engine block is a deep rust color. Engine is extremely hot even hours later after parking. There is a thick black sludge that is on nearly every part under the truck. I started hearing a ticking noise that sped up as my driving speed increases. This issue occurs often but not daily. As well as when turning into my driveway it makes a high pitched popping noise ( the sound is similar to a small rock being flung onto the aluminum wheel) I also hear grinding noises when making a sharp turn. Metal against metal is as best as I can describe it. I decided to look under the hood and checked the oil level and it appears fine. I don't know how to check other levels aside from the windshield fluid so I will be forced to have it towed to the dealership. While I was under my truck I noticed how there was a lot of rusted parts. The (if I am correct) exhaust housing looked nearly burned and the product sticker that is on there is 100% bites. As if someone put a lighter to it. Not sure what all the gunk is that is caked on everything below the truck but it can't be a good thing for sure. Also, I found a bolt wedged between an area. Why is there a bolt and where did it come from" does this mean I have missing parts on my engine or anywhere else? my truck runs so hot but no lights have come on. This evening after seeing what I did made me fear the thought of driving my truck that I pay a hefty payment on. It has 12,000 miles on it. I've had it one year and aways get my services done on time with oil changes and so forth. I shouldn't be having this issue or better yet issues. Who's going to fix this problem. And ho long before someone recalls my truck for this issue !"

Shake/shudder while driving straight on highway at 72 mph up to at least 90 mph. Steering wheel, center counsle, and seats shake. Goes away when not accelerating. Balanced tires and did not fix. Dealer then balanced tires and alignment was completed. This also did not fix. Dealer kept my car for almost 2 weeks and replaced torque converter. This still did not fix it. Have to take it in for a 3rd time. Make me feel dizzy and nauseous.
