Looking online, it's a known issue and there's a known fix but it's hard to get it done before it completely chits the bed. The interim fix is to turn it off and turn it on again. I took it in for my appointment today at the dealer. Service writer says "there's no codes. I can't do anything without an error code." Told him it's a known issue, there was a recall including transmissions made up till December of 2016. I don't know the build date of my 2017 truck but there's a good chance there's a 2016 66RFE underneath it. He said I'll see if we can find anything but until there's a code, there's nothing to fix.
I hate this truck. And every automatic transmission I've ever owned.
GM sucks! I will never buy a GM product again in my life. I'm really sour on them.
Spent a week in MI at a GM plant (Dearborn, MI) to work with them on grinding stones and finishing stones for their transmissions. After the gears were cut, the grinding stones and finishing stones would finish them to tolerance. It was a cluster F to try to get answers and do any development for improvement.
While in the area we also dropped in on Detroit Diesel, again to do some product development. Work on improving the honing of engine block cylinders. Another cluster F.
The whole UAW thing was an impediment to get anything done, they just wanted to keep the status quo. Any intervention or process/product development was a hindrance.
In that lifetime, working on grinding, honing and finishing stones... Briggs & Stratton plant in S. Carolina was my favorite place to visit. They were open to collaborate for process improvement, the folks were super nice (southern hospitality) and I've fallen in love with good Carolina BBQ (vinegar based stuff).
