Consumer Description

AT TIMES WHEN MY AVALANCHE IS SLOWING DOWN (CLOSE TO A STOP) THE TRUCK WILL LUNGE FORWARD. IT FEELS LIKE IT'S SOMETHING WITH THE TRANSMISSION (DOWNSHIFTING?). ALMOST LIKE A SURGE OF ENERGY UNEXPECTEDLY PUSHES THE TRUCK FORWARD. IT DOES CATCH ME OFF GUARD AT TIMES, BUT LUCKILY I HAVE NOT STRUCK ANYTHING WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED. IT DOES NOT DO IT ALL THE TIME, BUT RATHER INTERMITTENTLY. I AM HOPING THAT GM CAN FIGURE OUT WHY THIS IS HAPPENING AND POSSIBLY ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR
