Consumer Description

I DROVE ON THE HIGHWAY APROX. 20 MILES. WHEN I CAME TO MY EXIT AND STOPPED AND TRIED TO GO MY TRANSMISSION SLIPPED CAUSING MY TO ROLL OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND PAUSE BRIEFLY TILL IT SLAMMED INTO GEAR. WHEN I GOT TO A SPOT I COULD PULL OVER AND CHECK IT OUT I REALIZED NO REVERSE. IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF FIRST ALSO. I CALLED GM TO REPORT SINCE THE TRANSMISSION HAD ALREADY BEEN REPLACED ONCE UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO GM DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS. I WAS TOLD IT NEEDED REPLACED OR REBUILT. I GOT A SECOND OPINION FROM R AND R TRANSMISSION. THEY EXPLAINED THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED AN UPDATE TO WORK PROPERLY AND THIS IS PROBABLY WHY THE FIRST ONE FAILED. THEY REBUILT TRANSMISSION. THIS NEAR MISS COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUS. *JB
