Consumer Description

3/5/R WAVE PLATE TRANSMISSION FAILURE - I WAS TRAVELING OUT OF STATE AND MY 2008 GMC ACADIA STOPPED IN IT'S TRACKS WITHOUT ANY WARNING. VEHICLE WAS RUNNING, BUT IT WOULD NOT MOVE. I WAS STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, AT NIGHT WITH 3 YOUNG CHILDREN, OVER 5 HOURS AWAY FROM HOME. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT MORNING AND 3/5/R WAVE PLATE FAILURE WAS DETERMINED, NEW TRANSMISSION REQUIRED. LESS THAN A WEEK PRIOR TO THE CROSS COUNTRY TRIP, VEHICLE WAS AT DEALERSHIP HAVING OIL CHANGE AND OTHER PREVENTATIVE MAINTENANCE COMPLETED, NO ISSUES NOTED AT THAT TIME. MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR
