Hey guys so I bought a 17 premier about 2 months ago and I have had some trans problems took it to the dealer about 4-5 times for this problem and they can't figure it out. When going from reverse to drive. And give gas. It slips it does it when fully stopped and still rolling about 1-3 mph took it to the dealer and they said it's 50-50 some of do it some don't. And it does it when it wants to but when it does it sucks and does it a lot . When it don't it's fine And said it was a shutter issue and that the trans is electronic and it's shifting between gears when I give gas but I think it's a bad trans Wondering if anyone else had this problem

Been on the forum for a few years, have not read any transmission problems as you describe it. Walk like a duck, talk like a duck, look like a duck, then it must be a duck. This sounds like an easy one, can't believe they said "a shutter issue and that the trans is electronic and it's shifting between gears". If that's what the dealer thought, they would have said it on the first visit vs saying it on visit 4-5? I wouldn't buy that 50/50 crap. Still, if the owners manual doesn't make that claim, how do they and expect you to be ok with it. My truck doesn't do it, tell those guys to show you something or fix it. But take it to another dealership, after 4-5 times these guys are not going to make anything happen.

 

Nice wheels and tires btw.

I took it to. 2 different dealers the one I bought it from lynch Gm super store in Burlington wi and lynch Kenosha wi both said the same thing. You wouldn't know a dealer you could recommend me to in nothren il or southern wi by any chance. And thank you the wheels is why I bought it honestly and if you have some tires like that I can get you some pretty cheap instead of paying full price for vouges and there brand new with the labels on them and everything

IMO

It's under warranty. Drive it and see if it stops or the trans fails. Keep the dealers up dated if ti continues. :happysad:

Load it down and get on it in an unpopulated area, you'll really know if the trans is slipping. Changing anything on my truck right now is not going to happen. These trucks are hit and miss with issues, either you get one that has them or not. My truck doesn't have any issues, so I don't want to press my luck. I have a couple more years until my extended warranty expires, then I'll let some folks I know in a hod rod shop change some things out, like lowering, replacing suspension components, different wheels and whatever else the wife wants since it's her truck. I do have a good dealer and mechanic, but Central California coast is a bit too far for you.

I have a 2017 Tahoe Premier and have experienced the same thing ... This is my 5th or 6th Tahoe and the first one that has ever given me problems. At first I thought is was a rough engine issue, but am leaning more towards the trans issue that you described. I have also noticed that the "neutral drop" symptom seems to happen more often after the truck has been sitting for an hour or so??? Wondering if this is this a low trans fluid or pressure issue?

Have also been experiencing rather poor mileage on the road ... Averaged around 19 on a 2000 mile road trip to FL and my previous 2015 Tahoe would get 22-23 on the same trip. Have you noticed what I will call a "shudder" when slowly accelerating?

It doesn't slip charging on up shifts trust me I even laid rubber down spun out all first then shifted into 2nd just to see perfectly fine. And fun just going to reverse to drive feel like I Neutral dropped the thing

I just bought a 2017 suburban premier as well. Mine seems to have sluggish starts from stop and I have to give it extra gas before it kicks in and goes. The demo unit I used before I bought this did NOT do this. **** me.....

Same shudder when slowly accelerating from stop. I even had my buddy drive it that owns a Silverado and he said the same thing.

Also have a problem now that the engine feels likes it's miss firining after I drive it for a while. At a red light completely stopped car feels like it's miss firing. And my rear blower motor for heat/act is making a crazy loud noise.

You are not going to get very good mileage driving 80 mph. The faster you go, the more fuel you will use, common sense. Studies have shown going from 55 to 75 mph can increase fuel consumption by as much as 20%.

 

15 city/22 hwy is what I see on a local dealer website

Dropped my truck off to the dealer and had the service manager drive my truck with me in it and the demo truck I used before. He noticed the difference as well and said he would have his techs rum both trucks Monday and download the data between them. Crossing my fingers.

They explained that it's because I have the max trailer package and my rear differentials are 3.42 vs 3.08 of the demo truck I drove. Makes sense to me. I would take tour truck in and keep documenting it. You can probably claim lemon law.

      Gasser Subforum Has Been Quiet - - So, Regenerative Braking and Using L10

      By newdude · Posted

      No such thing as regenerative braking on a pure ICE vehicle.     Regenerative braking is the re-capture of energy from electric motors and stores it in the battery pack.  So hybrids, PHEV and EVs have regenerative braking.     What you are seeing is the charging system changing modes is all.  Its likely entering charge mode for some sort of reason is all.  All of the charging modes will be listed below.   As for L10 vs D.  L10 turns off automatic grade braking.  L10 puts you in control of grade downshifts where in D it will automatically do it based on brake pedal position and other factors.  Otherwise L10 and D drive exactly the same aside from that one aspect.    Battery Sulfation Mode The BCM will enter this mode when the interpreted Generator output voltage is less than 13.2 V for 45 minutes. When this condition exists the BCM will enter Charge Mode for 2–3 minutes. The BCM will then determine which mode to enter depending on voltage requirements.   Charge Mode The BCM will enter Charge Mode when ever one of the following conditions are met:   Windshield wipers are ON for more than 3 s. Climate Control Voltage Boost Mode Request is true, as sensed by the HVAC control module via serial data. High speed cooling fan, rear defogger, and HVAC high speed blower operation can cause the BCM to enter the Charge Mode. The estimated battery temperature is less than 0°C (32°F). Battery State of Charge is less than 80%. Vehicle speed is greater than 145 km/h (90 mph) A current sensor malfunction exists. System voltage is determined to be below 12.56 V When any one of these conditions is met, the system will set targeted generator output voltage to a charging voltage between 13.9–15.5 V, depending on the battery state of charge and estimated battery temperature.   Fuel Economy Mode The BCM will enter Fuel Economy Mode when the estimated battery temperature is at least 0°C (32°F) but less than or equal to 80°C (176°F), the calculated battery current is less than 15 A and greater than −8 A, and the battery state-of-charge is greater than or equal to 80%. Its targeted generator output voltage is the open circuit voltage of the battery and can be between 12.5–13.1 V. When fuel economy mode is active, the generator is not charging, only maintaining open circuit battery voltage. The BCM will exit this mode and enter Charge Mode when any of the conditions described above are present.   Headlamp Mode The BCM will enter Headlamp Mode when ever the head lamps are ON (high or low beams). Voltage will be regulated between 13.9–14.5 V.   Start Up Mode When the engine is started the BCM sets a targeted generator output voltage of 14.5 V for 30 s.   Tow/Haul Mode (if applicable) Pressing the Tow/Haul Mode button located on the center stack, the vehicle system voltage is raised and the remote (non-vehicle) battery will be charged. Having the headlamps on will raise the system voltage and if the Tow/Haul button is applied it will not serve any purpose. The voltage is regulated between 13.9-14.5 V.

      Active Grille Delete

      Hello from Australia Just sharing that there is now a way to delete the active shutters entirely with just a plug in module. Opens up tons of room to light bars etc.

      I have an observation and a question... 1) I watch the voltage closely because I have had to dial in the cut-in/cut-out voltages of the battery separator to my camper.  The "smart" charging drives me nuts.  Anyway, I noticed that when coasting for a while, and especially if lightly using the brakes (though not necessary), the voltage goes up from mid/high-13 volts to mid/high-14 volts.  Then it drops back down after stopping or going again.  Consistently!   The only explanation I can come up with is REGENERATIVE BRAKING!  Well, maybe that's a little bit of an exaggeration, but it's certainly free extra battery charging.   2) Driving on mountain roads I will use L and vary the max gear.  Things straighten out and I end up in L10.  Sometimes I leave it there for a while.  Is there any difference between L10 and D?

      Tire pressure for 37s

      By PBNB · Posted

      Do you think this width might affect the chalk test with a higher pressure closer to 65psi? I think lowering the pressure makes sense to get the tread to lay flatter
