One thought on GM initiates recall for Chevrolet Express, GMC Savana
I read the official GM TSB Friday and if I comprehend it correctly it vaguely suggest that and o-ring can leak by over time causing a low pressure condition. I believe it said something about 70k miles but I could be mistaken about that. The part that I found to be the most interesting piece of information was the so called fix. They are going to install new software that will detect a pressure change in the transmission approximately 10k miles before the lock up condition would occur. Sounds pretty fishy to me to let you know 10k miles before you $90k truck is about to break instead of fixing the root cause of the problem. Which in turn leaves me with more? The Allison transmission has been absolutely bullet proof for years and years used in many many applications with very few if ever any issues. I have owned several trucks with the 10 speed Allison transmission and have had no issues with either 1 of them and absolutely love the way they preform. I just hope this isn’t a sign of this to come with this historicly reliable transmission. And like the 4L80 and 4L90 that have been having major issues since 2014 till present why don’t GM just fu—- fix the problem. But no they continue to drive up the $ of new trucks every year and also the cost of owning it. Put a bandage on it until the customer is responsible for the repairs. Shame Shame on you.
