Hey guys i need a little help with my 2008 Chevy Express, while driving on the
HWY i noticed the speedometer dropped to zero, also the transmission went to first gear and did not accelerate out of that until i pulled over and turn off ignition and restarted it. restarting the car is a temp. fix. does anyone have any suggestions on what it could be

 

I have the same problem with the same year van. Did you ever get a resolution to this?

 

Speed sensor? Did you check for codes?

 

No dash lights or error codes

 

What did you use to check for codes? Dash light is not a reliable indicator. I would suggest a trip to a tranny only shop and have them road test it....and use their shop machine to check the odb2......It sounds electrical. If it was mechanical then restarting the engine would not fix anything......

 

Hello acare86,

We apologize for the difficulties you're currently having with the transmission in your 2008 Express. Have you made your servicing dealership aware of this issue? We'd be more than happy to facilitate this process on your behalf and work toward a possible solution. If you're interested, feel free to send your VIN, mileage, contact information, and preferred dealership in a private message.

We look forward to your message!

Hope the original poster sees this and gets the problem taken care of! I'll post a link in another thread where poster had same issue. GM needs to "reach out" to that person as well given that their issue started after having the dealership service the vehicle.

So Jasmine... What about all of us with failed intake gaskets or oem paint that peels off in sheets? (Tumbleweeds and cricket sounds begin now.)

Hi lunghd,

We evaluate each customer concern on a case by case basis. However, if you have encountered issues with the intake gasket or paint we're more than happy to investigate this matter as well. If you'd like to send us more specific details about your vehicle and situation we're available via private message to discuss.

Thanks,

Amber: this calls for more than a PM but I don't want to hijack the original poster's thread. I'll start a new thread.

 

I still have the same problem. It is now getting worse (almost 1 year later). The Chevy dealership looked at it (twice), charged me a couple hundred bucks and said that they could not find anything. I am very frustrated as I feel like I have a lemon of a vehicle and Chevy can't fix it. Any help would be appreciated.
