NHTSA Complaint #10547834 — 2007 GMC ACADIA

THE VEHICLE FIRST STARTED FINE, HOWEVER, COULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. ONCE STARTING AND TURNING THE VEHICLE OFF THREE TIMES, IT FINALLY SHIFTED INTO REVERSE. THEN ON THE HIGHWAY GOING TO DROP OFF MY KIDS AT SCHOOL, THE VEHICLE THEN WOULD NOT SHIFT HIGHER THEN SECOND GEAR. EACH TIME I STEPPED ONTO THE GAS PEDAL, THE RPM'S WOULD GO UP, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT GO ANY FASTER THEN ABOUT 30 MPH. OF COURSE, THIS SITUATION IS HIGHTLY UNSAFE, ESPECIALLY WITH SMALL CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. AT ONE POINT WHEN I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE, AND EVERYONE SAID IT WAS FIXED, I DROVE 3.5 HOURS TO PICK UP MY STEP-DAUGHTER AND WAS LEFT STRANDED THERE, DUE TO THE SAME ISSUE IT WENT IN FOR THE FIRST THREE TIMES. IT HAS BEEN IN AND OUT 9MOSTLY IN) THE SHOP FOR OVER THREE AND A HALF MONTHS, WITH EACH REPLACEMENT PART FOR THE TRANSMISSION, IT GOES ON A TEST DRIVE AND THE SAME THING KEEPS HAPPENING. *TR
