I just had the same issue today. Drove around the corner from my house, going about 25-30 mph and there was a lurching/dropping sensation in the vehicle and I lost the ability to drive - the engine kept revving, but going nowhere. Reverse worked, and then nothing else. I was facing the real possibility of reversing the whole way home on a very busy road, but luckily after a few tries I could get the car to work in 1st, 2nd and reverse. I drove to the dealership in 2nd gear. Called them this afternoon and the most they could tell me is that something is broken internally in the transmission but they won't be able to open it up to take a look for a few days from now. Looking at about a week until I get the vehicle back. It's an '07 also, with only 18K. We had a problem early last winter with the car getting stuck in 2wd with cold weather. And also some sort of sensor going out in the gas tank that caused the car to overheat and stall repeatedly. I'm thinking the vehicle wasn't such a great deal after all.

Wow! I was really worried I had done something wrong to my car until I read AnnaSplit's post. THE EXACT THING HAPPENED TO ME LAST NIGHT. Pulled out of my driveway, went to accelerate and it was almost as if I hit something. It made a loud popping noise and wouldn't go, only revved when I gave it gas. I was about a mile away from home and had to drive home in 1st gear (the only gear that worked) with my hazards on. Quite scary. I really have no complaints about this car, it's beautiful. Things happen, I understand and with EVERY vehicle make comes a different problem. Glad to know I am not alone.

1999 Chevy Tahoe Limited

I just replaced the transmission and it won't shift into gear. It was acting up before the transmission went it out. I think it is the sensor on the brake pedal. Any ideas? Is this hard to replace?

if you replaced the trans on your own a couple of things to check before you do anything major mlps (manual lever position sensor) does it read right on the dashif not readjust it or the shift interlock solenoid may not function.check fuses for blown fuse may also cause shift interlock solenoid not to work...hope this helps

2003 Tahoe Transmission?

I've reviewed the posts and have several questions. The truck has just over 80k miles.
My 03 Tahoe has started to make metallic clicking and clunking noises when putting it in to gear, reverse or drive after it has sat for a while and has cooled off. On occasion it seems like it clunks in to gear when getting started.
I've also noted last fall that the 4wd makes a loud clunking noise when putting it into gear.
I live in WI and like to use the 4wd but kept from doing that this winter as a result of the noise.
I am the 2nd owner of the truck. Would there still be any type of drive train warranty remaining on this truck?
Who would be best to service the truck? Chevy dealer or large private company?
From the description of the noises do you believe this would be a transmission problem or other drive train issue?
Any assistance that could be provided would be greatly appreciated.

this one is pretty wide open really u-joints differential pinion slop t-case all suspect I would suggest starting with checking the basics jack and support rear end (SAFETY FIRST) check rear drive shaft ujoints and pinion for slop. then repeat for front diff and drive line chances are you may find your clunking noise. if not located by this inspection suspect slop in t-case. please note that your vehicle is auto 4wd all 4 tires MUST be the same size or t-case failure/problems will become present

Thanks. I am hoping it is one of your first thoughts as opposed the the transfer case. Tires and wheels are the same size.
Am I assuming correctly that I should block the front tires when the rear is jacked and vice versa? Do I check for the noise in neutral with truck turned off and turning one wheel as opposed to the other? Or otherwise?

No more factory warranty on your '03. You would probably be better off taking your Tahoe to a GM dealer.

the whole trick is to be safe while you check your car/truck block the wheels, support the truck on jackstands.once you have the wheels off the ground you will be able to check the drive shafts and pinions for slop i have seen many vehicles that have 1/4 to 1/3 turn of slop on the differential which can account for some delayed engagements and also banging engagements its a matter of finding the noise. eliminate the most obvious and go from there. differentials, u-joints, t-case, body bushings, and so on
