| 90000 mi US $2000 |
Valve bodies had to be replaced on Traverse or they could have replaced the transmission. I went with valve body replacement. Car has under 100,000 miles but is over the 5 year power train warranty period. |
| 95000 mi | The Transmission Control Module needs to be replaced. Found transmission fluid leak on my garage floor, probably result of recent repairs. I was over it, moved on to a Dodge Grand Caravan. |
| 66000 mi | Transmission hesitating when shifting into this and fifth. |
| 68300 mi US $250 |
Transmission was hanging on shifts, and was also sometimes unable to shift into lower gears on highway during passing situations. Transmission reflash was completed first, then wave plate was replaced. |
| 81000 mi | Transmission in reverse was apparently dumping metal into the transmission, causing other gears to slip or not engage at all. Had to use manual to override and skip 3rd gear on more than 1 occasion. |
| 22320 mi | They have also noted a suspected transmission fluid leak and added dye to figure out where it is when I take it in for steering work. Transmission seal leaking. Replaced $8 gasket under warranty. |
| 56420 mi | Jury still out on whether this is a problem. Car has been vibrating at certain RPM. Dealer says it's just fuel economy settings in transmission controls that are leaving the engine to chug instead of shifting down. Problem seems new to us. |
| 92380 mi C $1000 |
Automatic Transmission Output Shaft Seal - Left Front |
| 56200 mi US $3200 |
