WHILE ACCELERATING ONTO A MAJOR ROADWAY, MY VEHICLE COMPLETELY LOST POWER. AS THE SPEED LIMIT WAS 55MPH, I HAD TO CROSS MY FINGER AND PICK A SPOT TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROADWAY AND HOPE THAT IT HAD ENOUGH MOMENTUM TO DO SO. MY VEHICLE IS STILL IN THE SHOP HOWEVER ANECDOTAL EVIDENCE FROM THE INTERNET FINDS THAT THE 4L60 AND 4L70 ARE RIFE WITH FAILURES THAT RESULT IN COMPLETE LOSS OF POWER OF THE VEHICLE. THE FAULTY PART SEEMS TO BE THE "SUN SHELL" AND HAS FAULTS ACROSS THE GM LINEUP. I'M VERY SURPRISED THEY HAVE NOT BEEN FORCED TO RECA…

USUALLY WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS 55MPH - 60 MPH AFTER APPROXIMATELY 15 MINUTES THE STEERING WHEEL AND WHOLE FRONT END START SHAKING REALLY BAD. IT WILL LAST UNTIL YOU STOP AND THEN IT WILL NOT DO IT AGAIN FOR 3 OR 4 DAYS AND THEN IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. IF YOU TRY TO BRAKE DURING THIS OCCURRENCES THE WHOLE VEHICLE SHAKES EVEN WORSE. BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER (2) TWICE THEY COULD NOT VERIFY PROBLEM. *TR

THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IS NOTORIOUS FOR FAILING ON THESE VEHICLES. CHEVY HAS STARTED A CAMPAIGN TO PAY FOR HALF THE COST OF THE REPAIR. WHILE I'M SURE GM THINKS THIS IS A FAIR OFFER ON THEIR BEHALF, IT DOES NOT GO FAR ENOUGH. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE NOT AN INCONVENIENCE. RUNNING OUT OF FUEL BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH IS IN YOUR TANK CAN CREATE A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. GM DESCRIBES THIS PART AS A WEAR ITEM. NO. BRAKE PADS WEAR OUT. WIPER BLADES WEAR OUT. BATTERIES DIE. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU CHECKED THE FUEL LEVEL SENSOR IN YOUR GAS T…

SHORTLY AFTER CHRISTMAS 2015, WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET THE RED LIGHT ON THE GAS GUAGE CAME ON AND THE GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY. HAVING JUST FILLED THE TANK EARLIER THAT DAY I THOUGHT THE GAS HAD BEEN STOLEN. I PULLED INTO A STATION TO REFILL BUT IT WAS STILL FULL. FOR THE NEXT FIVE WEEKS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND THE GAUGE ONLY WORKED OCCASIONALLY. IT WASN'T A DANGEROUS SITUATION BUT AFTER A FEW WEEKS OF GUESSING HOW MUCH GAS WAS IN IT, I TOOK IT TO A REPAIRMAN WHO REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP MODULE ASSEMBLY FOR A MERE $767.04. THE ODOMETER …
