NHTSA Complaint #10545604 — 2007 GMC ACADIA

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY ACADIA HAS DIED. MY WIFE WENT TO PICKUP OUR SON FROM A FRIEND'S HOUSE. THE CAR DROVE FINE ON THE WAY OVER. WHEN THEY GOT BACK IN THE CAR, TO LEAVE, THE CAR WOULD NOT GO INTO GEAR. SHE COULD MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER INTO REVERSE BUT THE CAR WOULDN'T GO. THE ENGINE WOULD JUST REV. SHE TURNED THE CAR OFF TO GO ASK FOR HELP. WHEN SHE STARTED IT AGAIN, IT WOULD GO INTO GEAR BUT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON AND IT DIDN'T SOUND RIGHT. WHEN TRYING TO DRIVE THE CAR, IT WOULD SLIP IN AND OUT OF GEAR AND HAD A WHINING SOUND. WHEN READING THE CODES, I FOUND THE FOLLOWING: P0700 POWERTRAIN - TRANSMISSION CONTROL SYSTEM, P0752 SHIFT SOLENOID "A" STUCK ON, & P0797 PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID "C" STUCK ON. I HAVEN'T HAD IT CHECKED BY A MECHANIC YET SO I DON'T KNOW THE REAL PROBLEM. THE TOW TRUCK IS TAKING IT TO THE SHOP TOMORROW. I'LL HAVE TO UPDATE ONCE I GET THE DIAGNOSIS. 67K MILES SEEMS A LITTLE PREMATURE TO BE LOSING THE TRANSMISSION. *LN UPDATED 1/10/2014 *JS
