2001 Chevrolet Silverado 2500 Transmission Problems
Owner-reported complaints naming the transmission system, filed with NHTSA
Data refreshed
Transmission reportsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

A 2001 CHEVROLET 2500K HD WITH ALLISON 1000 TRANSMISSION WOULD SLOW DOWN AND EVENTUALLY STOP IN HEAVY TRAFFIC ON ANY HIGHWAY. STARTING DATE OF THOSE INCIDENTS WAS IN APRIL 2001. IN WARRANTY THERE WERE SEVERAL SCARY SITUATIONS, BY WHERE WE HAD BEEN PULLING AN RV ON INTERSTATE HIGHWAYS. ONLY LUCK AND SOME EXPERIENCE SAVED US FROM DISASTER. *AK

I OWN A 2001 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 4X4 2500HD. I HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR AND BECOMING NEUTRAL WHEN STOPPING AFTER A HOT SOAK OR CITY DRIVING. AFTER A DELAY IT WILL RE-ENGAGE, OR IF YOU GAS IT A LITTLE IT WILL CLUNK INTO GEAR. THE DEALER HAS TOLD ME ALL ALONG THAT NOTHING WAS WRONG. HE COULDN'T "DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM." NOW AT 75,000 MILES, THE TRANSMISSION HAS MANIFESTED ITSELF TO AN OBVIOUS STATE OF CRAP. DURING A RECENT DAY OF ERRANDS IN 100+ DEGREE DAY, THE TRANSMISSION WAS SLIPPING OUT OF GEAR AT EVERY RED LIGHT. UNACCEPTABLE. *NM

2001 CHEVROLET 2500HD TRUCK: IN MAY OF 2002 THE TRANSMISSION STARTED LEAKING AT THE FRONT SEAL BECAUSE OF THE CONVERTER BOLTS BEING LOOSE. ON 1/28/04 THE REAR CASE BUSTED AND LEAKED OUT ALL THE FLUID AS WELL. GM DEALER SAYS DEFECTIVE CASE. ALLISON TRANSMISSION SAYS THAT GM HAS A VIBRATION IN THE DRIVETRAIN OF THESE TRUCKS THAT CAUSES THEIR TRANSMISSION TO BREAK. WHO DO YOU BELIEVE? ANY SUGGESTIONS? *JB
