Consumer Description

AT JUST OVER 100000 MILES, WE LOST 3RD GEAR. THIS OFCOURSE HAPPENED IN TRAFFIC GOING UP A HILL. I HAVE READ SEVERAL COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SUBURBAN TRANSMISSION. JUST WANTED TO SHARE THE WARNING SIGNS: TRANSMISSION BEGAN TO "SLIP" SEVERAL DAYS PRIOR TO THE TOTAL LOSS OF 3RD GEAR. IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC SITUATIONS, WHEN SHIFTING FROM 2ND TO 3RD, TRUCK SEEMED TO SLIP INTO NEUTRAL. RPM WOULD REV AND AFTER BACKING OFF THE ACCELERATOR SEEMED TO STRAIGHTEN UP. HOWEVER, NOT LONG AFTER, VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO 3RD. WITH AN AUTOMATIC, THAT LEAVES VERY FEW OPTIONS WHEN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I HAD MANUALLY SHIFT FROM 1ST TO 2ND AND MANUALLY DOWN SHIFT. LUCKILY, I WAS NOT ON THE HIGHWAY; I WAS ABLE TO STAY BELOW 40MPH AND DRIVE IN 2ND AND GOT IT HOME. NOW WE ARE LOOKING FOR FURTHER INFORMATION THAT MAY HELP LEVY THE COST OF FIXING THE PROBLEM. LOOKS LIKE GM IS AWARE AND REFUSES TO RECALL.*AK
