(TRANSMISSION FAILURE) 0868 code, 2022 42,900 miles, car bucked and shutoff on highwy
Year 2022
miles: 42,900 mods: ZERO 7500 trans filter change: yes Dealer fix for transmission leaving me stranded on I-91 highway…. >$1500 trans fluid/filter change Car: 2022 c8 no mods 42k miles >car restarted and drove to dealer with CEL on. SERVICE WRITER STATES: reading 2023 owners manual: “trans filter change due at 22,500 miles” Ok, no problem….GM doesn’t send a letter/notification. Called GM concierge: they will only send a letter if recalled. 2020-22 owners won’t know unless using CF, google or the dealer informs. https://cimg0.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...d8d9374ae.jpeg |
Called GM, they will reach out to dealer within 24-48 hours for resolution.
I’ll gladly get the fluid/filter change at 45,000 miles or 3 years as 2022 states.(which will be in 2 months on miles) $1500 is crazy 24045729 filter kit $130 fluid/quart $28 a 5 hour job?? |
Some discussion about the cost of DCT filter and fluid change here:

Steve I remember you from way back when you were doing things with Corvettes and intro'd yourself. If you've read the long-standing changes to the manual, and woes of owners re the latest order of what needs to be done to first, to follow the changing DCT schedule, and second, get it repaired once there is an issue, you'd know that this isn't easy to keep up with. But I have to credit a lot of people on here who've done what I'd call "yeoman' work" to figure out what to do and even get the word back to someone at GM that some changes and clarity needs to be made.
With all due respect, you, and others to follow are just adding to a list of people having troubles, either with the instructions or with problems that arise with the trans. Good luck to you!!!! :cheers: |
Why would they send you a letter? It's been in the owner's manual since day #1... 2020-current.

With all due respect, how hard is it to follow the maintenace schedule in the owners manual? I agree with the OP that there is a modest discrepancy whether the 2nd DCT filter change is to be done at 22,500 or 30,000 miles BUT the OP missed both of these landmarks. Expecting GM to send reminders to owners about scheduled maintenance is ridiculous. |
Best of luck with both your dealer and GM. I have to say, based on the chart above, a change at 22.5K miles should have been done.

Definitely worth noting:
22,500 mile filter change is ONLY 2023up. GM did not send out a notice. |

Op, was the dealer able to resolve the issue? Code 0868 is set when there is an issue with Transmission Fluid Pressure, low or high, according to the Service Manual. The attempted remedies called for in the manual include what your dealer did - replace the DCT external canister filter, and replace the fluid. In fact, if those don't work, it also calls for removal and cleaning of the pan and replacement of the internal filter - per this procedure: Automatic Transmission Fluid, Fluid Pan and/or Filter Replacement. If all else fails, it eventually get to replacement of the transmission.

Ahhhhh,
miles versus kilometers GM should have you sign an awareness agreement. what other sub $70k car has a 22k mile trans service? back to work. |

BTW, if you need to sign an "awareness agreement" to buy a car, maybe you need to stick with Uber. |

Will a transmission failure rate disclosure soon followA?
|
2023 now show:
trans filter % trans fluid % on cluster. There has been a notification change. Im USAF, maybe not as advanced as other 3LT big dogs :) God Bless America. |
Wait Steve am I reading that correctly? It says at 22.5K to change the FILTER, only. It also says "every 22.5K thereafter" the initial 7.5K service in which they change the filter and add .5 quarts from fluid lose. I am not he sharpest tool in the shed BUT that would mean the filter needs to be changed at 30K. I am just saying :confused2:. I am looking at my paperwork now. Fortunately, when they did my first service my pass axel was leaking as well as the pan. I guess the 2023 got a revised pan. I took it back when the parts came in and they changed pan, 17 bolts, 2 studs, and 12 qt of fluid. Best of luck man the details provided here are a little misleading
