Auto transmission issues!
 

Uh oh...I think it's baked. Slipping gears down the highway, while towing my normal load of quads & dirtbikes up to the cabin. She can't pick out which gear to be in, keeps switching from 4 to 3, sometimes to 2 & revving up over 6k. Checked the dipstick, low level...got underneath & I see blowback coming out of the transmisson breather tube all over the bottom of the truck. Made it back home ok (150 mi!), kept it topped off. Slow in my 'hood, I can hear bad sounds down there...never heard of this one.

Here's the kicker...50k warranty on the early build '06, its at 52998...anybody go that phone# for Hummer warranty dept so I can do my best to bitch up a storm?:lame:

Bummer man. Hope everything works out in your favor.:beerchug:

Re: Auto transmission issues!
 

cris raise as much hell as possible at the dealer , mention the 100k mile warranty they now have . tell them if they wont stand behind it that you wont buy another gm product .

good luck , they should cover it

Re: Auto transmission issues!
 

Sorry to hear that,Good luck, how many miles do you have on it? :(

Re: Auto transmission issues!
 

I had the valve body replaced in my AT a few weeks ago, I think I was at 53K.

Covered, but I have the extended warranty. It had no back pressure going downhill. Works great now.

1-866-HUMMER6.

Good luck.

Re: Auto transmission issues!
 

Thanks Beebs, will let you know.

Re: Auto transmission issues!
 

Bummer Cris, Keep us posted on GM's response...

Re: Auto transmission issues!
 

Saddest thing I ever saw, my baby loaded on a flatbed...will keep you all updated.

Re: Auto transmission issues!
 

Damn, You may want tto try sweet talk with the service Mgr. First before a Sheet storm. See if he will have the area service supervisor inspect your truck and cover it. Only the area guy has the power to do it. If he approves it the dealer will get paid warrenty on it from GM. We covered one once on a H2 as a friend deal to the owner of the truck and this was becasue he was nice.

Re: Auto transmission issues!
 

I already started sweet-talking him, before the truck even got there.

The thing I fear is anybody looking at the bottom of my truck KNOWS it's been heavily off-roaded, and that may not work in my favor.:confused:

Re: Auto transmission issues!
 

GM needs to decided to stay with the borg warner 4 speed or get with the competition and move ahead. The H3 needs to move forward with a overdrive or a 6 speed transmission to get with the mpg movement.
They need to fix what they have and also move forward with the new generation H3. 20+MPG

Re: Auto transmission issues!
 

x2 ... 6 speed in manual and automatic

Re: Auto transmission issues!
 

Total Transmission Failure was the call.....:twak:

Hummer Of Novi, bless them, has decided to cover it even though my warranty is 3k past.

:jump: :jump: :jump:

Re: Auto transmission issues!
 

great news about them replacing it, how long are you going to be out of commision? better get a loaner car thrown in

Re: Auto transmission issues!
 

Sorry about your truck. Glad they are taking care of you! What did they give you for a rental? Last time I got a Monte carlo.

Re: Auto transmission issues!
 

:beerchug: thats good to hear also
Bring in a box of donuts for the service reps and techs

Re: Auto transmission issues!
 

That's a great idea!

I didn't even ask for a loaner, I'm out of warranty & don't want to push my luck!!!

Besides, I've got this great old '65 Scout that loves to be driven around with the top off on hot Michigan days, so she's getting a workout.:excited:

Re: Auto transmission issues!
 

Dude go one further and get a GMPP quote so you will be tops for many more miles to come. Good one!:clapping:

Re: Auto transmission issues!
 

Got her back today, rebuilt the trans & replaced all clutches, bands & seals.

Wha happened? She was baked out, but I don't know what caused it.

Least I didn't have to pay for it!!!!!:jump:
