NHTSA Complaint #10459776 — 2008 CHEVROLET EXPRESS

WHILE MERGING ON THE EXPRESSWAY THE TRANSMISSION FAILED TO SHIFT OUT OF FIRST OR SECOND GEAR CAUSING HIGH ENGINE RPM'S . I HAD TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND BACK INTO DRIVE SEVERAL TIMES BUT IT STILL FAILED TO SHIFT INTO ANY GEAR. I HAD TO PUT ON FLASHERS ( HEAVY TRAFFIC ) AND MAKE MY WAY TO THE EMERGENCY LANE. WHEN I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND SHIFTED BACK INTO DRIVE IT SHIFTED CORRECTLY. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM FOR SEVERAL MONTHS TO PRESENT DATE. I TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHO SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND THEIR WERE NO CODE REPORTS SO THEY COULD NOT FIX THE ISSUE. THIS IS STILL A VERY REAL DANGER FOR MY FAMILY ( SEVEN CHILDREN ) BECAUSE THIS MALFUNCTION OCCURS WHILE AT HIGH SPEEDS USUALLY WHILE ENTERING THE EXPRESSWAY. *TR
