Torque converter went out completely causing me to have to replace the entire transmission, drive very low miles and do not pull/tow anything. Our dodge & ford both have well over 260,000 miles on them and have never had an issue. Cheap part were used in this tahoe causing major repair failures and costs to repair

While the vehicle is in motion, the door locks begin to cycle (up and down), the clock resets itself to twelve, static runs through the radio, the console lights (lighting, engine ck, stability control) flicker on and off and the transmission downshifts at will. The effect on the transmission is of particular concern because at highway speeds the vehicle abruptly slows down causing a potential hazard for the driver,…
