Well its been 2 weeks and 2 days with out my monte. Still in the shop and they can't figure out what is wrong with it. It first started off with the car not ketching first gear reving up real high then ketching first and making a large clunk sound. Then when i shifted into 2nd 3rd and 4th it would shake the whole car.

Took it into chevy and they found out it was some wiring problems and had to order some new wires. They call me back up and say they looked in my trans and found metal shavings. So they ordered new parts for it and took a week to get everything but the tourqe converter. Had to wait another week to get that and when everything is put back together it is having a hard time getting into first. So now they have to call corporate on monday to figure out what to do. They are stumped and i am bumbed.

Any one know of this problem with the 06 ss?

 

man sorry to hear of your loss LOL

but have they rebuilt the tranny? or just replacing parts tha tmight be it?

if it was a rebuild they might have to figure out if it has shavings in the pump

or if the presure reg is set correctly

 

From what i am understand is they just rebuilt it. Every time i ask they guy just says they don't know waht is wrong.

 

man, yer shop sucks, 2 weeks before calling TAC is rediculous... we had a truck a few years ago that just made a funny noise from the trans, called tac and they knew what was wrong with it as soon as symptons were described, they had some trans cases that werent made dead straight, but instead of swaping everything to the new case, gm just said it gets a new trans, im guessing because it'd be a more reliable fix with less down time.

its the whole reason ppl take cars to the dealership, diagnose and repair correctly asap, if they dont know whats goin on with it they should of called technical assistance on day one. but all is not competely lost, csi - customer satisfaction index(guessing theirs is already low)... i'm sure if gm sends u a servey u'll let em know how your your experience was. gm will lean on your dealer more and more the lower thier score is until they can get it up.

 

one more thing if you dont like the service get ahold of G.M. corpreate int hat area
or go to thier site and find the contact us button and hit it then find where you can put in your questions/complaints. after doign this it might take a day or two but i can tellyou they tend to get a bunch done pretty fast after that.
I had to do it here on this dealer thansk to them being completly clue less.
for exampel. when they tore my dash up (the first time) they took teh parts from around the key off and lost them . so they orderd those with the new dash. I was suposed to get it all to install but they never gave me the parts for aroudn the Ing. After calligna lot and argueing with them they orderd them .
long story short. they kept draging thier feet knwoing the car was goign out of warrenty and they could charge me for it.

So i contacted the main G.M. over here it is cadalac of Europe. they called the dealer and the parts were found that after noon on the shelf. now i was told they were going to order htem again becuase they were on back order. that morning.

they had thier driver hand deliver them to me at my home in a hour after the phone call.
so i seen it on my dash for all of one day . then i ship the car. but at least i know it is complete for shipping .

Good luck and dont give up on this MAKE SURE IT IS RIGHT!!! dont let them do a quick fix on it and say good riddens to ya.

 

Well i talked to chevy 2 mins ago and they said it is a valve spring. He said they cleaned it and it shifted fine today but went to go park it and it wouldn't shift again. So they ordered a new valve spring and it gets in tomorrow morning and will be done i hope. Crossing my fingers.

 

kool good to hear. let us know if this cures it.

also i would ask them if they are goign to change the tranny filter again on it in a few weeks.

Thsi si some thing we used to do on anything we foudn shavings in we would change filters oil and tranny if we thought it might help .
Cheap insurance that it wont come back for the same issues . Dont always work but we only had one or two come back to the shop for the same thing. one we found out he was netural droping it with aloaded trailer on it.
and the other was a issue he admited to . he was heavy in to 4x4's and would take it out to see how stuck he could get.

 

Sorry to hear you're having issues with such a new car.

Hopefully if/when I have issues with my '06 LTZ the local dealer won't act like an idiot about fixing the car for me??

 

Well i didn't get my car today because my dealership sucks... they called me today and told me that it wasn't ready because they couldn't get to it. they had to do a suv first when it has been there 2 days lol. well i am never going there again.

 

dude what if there like, "we have to give you a new ss " that be badass, j/k hope she turns out alright, make sure to give her a lot of love since she was in the hospital for so long.
