NHTSA Complaint #10488650 — 2007 GMC ACADIA

MY 2007 GMC ACADIA'S FIRST STARTED HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS IN DECEMBER OF 2012. THE VEHICLE STARTED HAVING ISSUES WHILE TRYING TO MERGE ONTO THE HIGHWAY OR DEPRESSING THE GAS PEDAL FOR A PASSING AND/OR MERGING PURPOSES, THIS WOULD SOMEHOW REVERT INTO A NEUTRAL POSITION, HAVING THE RPMS REV UP AND NO FORWARD MOTION , UNTIL IT'S SORT OF CAUGHT UP ITSELF BY BACKING OFF ON THE ACCELERATOR. THE OTHER ISSUE INVOLVED PUTTING THE AUTOMOBILE INTO REVERSE ,NOT ONLY AT TIMES IT WOULDN'T GO INTO REVERSE BUT INSTEAD WOULD REVERT TO A NEUTRAL POSITION, UNTIL YOU STARTED ALL OVER AGAIN WITH THE PROCESS OF PUTTING IT BACK INTO PARK AND THEN BACK INTO REVERSE. NEVER WAS THERE A LIGHT NOR A WARNING BY THE CARS SENSORS OR ANY OTHER SYMPTOMS THAT WOULD GIVE AN OWNER A WARNING THAT THERE WOULD BE A PROBLEM COMING SOON. IN ANY EVENT, AFTER HAVING THE SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED ABOVE THE CAR SOMEHOW DROPPED INTO FIRST GEAR AND CANNOT SHIFT FROM THAT POSITION AND FINALLY, THE TRANSMISSION LIGHT CAME ON. AT THE MOMENT, I AM IN THE PROCESS OF FILING A COMPLAINT WITH GM AND AT THE ADVICE OF THE GM REPRESENTATIVE, THEY ADVISE ME TO HAVE THE DEALERSHIP LOOK INTO THE SITUATION. IN MY OPINION, THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION. SEEING ALL THE SAME COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET LEADS ME TO BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A FURTHER DISCUSSION ON THE TRANSMISSION OF THE 2007 GMC ACADIA. THANK YOU *TR
