ORIGNAL POST: 3/6/2014
Purchased a new 2013 Chevy Silverado with Break Basic and HD transmission acknowledgment from Commonwealth Motors in Lawrence, MA. Started accepting problems afresh breadth the agent would be in park, dabbling and the transmission temperature would accumulate cutting up and eventually would activate the transmission birr console (idiot light) ablaze on.
I brought barter in for its aboriginal oil change and registered a chump complaint. The dealership declared that they let the barter abandoned for 3 abstracted continued periods of time and never saw the problem. During the oil change they noticed that the transmission was 1 quart low on aqueous and topped it off. The agent has beneath again 7k afar on the odometer.
I collection the barter home, which is beneath than a 2 minute drive and anchored it overnight. The afterward morning I collection the barter to assignment (a 10 minute drive) and placed it in esplanade and began recording this video of the transmission temperature. On the ride to assignment I noticed a active babble that hadnt been there ahead advancing from the firewall area. Afterwards account some of the TSBs for this agent online I accomplished that the artisan that serviced the transmission aqueous may accept burst the transmission accompaniment tube (TSB 333913, Activity Cardinal 10044233).
I additionally begin that some cartage able with the Disciplinarian Advice Centermost occasionally will apprehend transmission hot - abandoned agent and says that Dtc u0101 may be set. No abstraction what that agency but that is Activity Cardinal 10053223 and Account Account Cardinal 355658.
I am announcement this video for the account of the chief account tech that will (I hope, this time) will appraise this problem aback I accompany this agent aback for the additional time.
