Consumer Description

WHEN ACCELERATING, MY CAR SEEMS TO 'SLIP' OR 'STUTTER' BEFORE CLICKING INTO GEAR. THIS HAPPENED IN THE FIRST YEAR OF OWNERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP NEVER ACKNOWLEDGED IT WHEN I WOULD BRING IT IN TO GET CHECKED. AFTER A FEW YEARS OF OWNING IT I NOW KNOW THAT IT IS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE VERY COMMON WITH THE GMC ACADIA. I HAVE READ THAT IT IS A FAULTY WAVE PLATE. NOT SURE WHAT THAT IS BUT NOW WITH ONLY 50,000 ON MY CAR IT IS REALLY BAD. IT BARELY MADE IT HOME LAST NIGHT. TRANSMISSION IS TOTALLY SLIPPING AND EVEN WHEN JUST DRIVING ALONG AT THE SAME SPEED IT WENT INTO LIMP MODE. THE GAS REVVED LIKE I WAS IN NEUTRAL. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AS I HAD A CARLOAD OF GIRLS ON A TRIP TO THE MOUNTAINS. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE UNTIL THIS CAUSES AN ACCIDENT AND CASUALTIES! GMC NEEDS TO STEP UP AND GET THIS PART RECALLED. IT IS A FAULTY PART AND THEY NEED TO PAY FOR THE REPLACEMENT!!! *TR
