Consumer Description

I WAS AT A STOP SIGN, WHEN I WENT TO PULL ONTO THE HIGHWAY, THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED AND HESITATED! I TOOK IT TO GM DEALER AND WAS TOLD THEY COULD FIND NO PROBLEM WITH IT! IT WOULD ACTUALLY HAVE TO GO BAD BEFORE THEY COULD DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! NOW I HAVE 68000 MILES ON IT, AND THE PROBLEM HAPPENS DAILY! TWO DAYS AGO, WHEN PULLING ON TO THE HIGHWAY, IT HESITATED AGAIN, BUT THIS TIME THERE WAS A SEMI COMING! LUCKILY IT FINALLY TOOK HOLD AND I COULD PROCEED! I SAW ON THE INTERNET, THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS VEHICLE!! WHY, DOESN'T GM FIX IT?? ALSO, I HAVE HAD MY CAR IN FOR ENGINE PROBLEMS, THEY HAVE REMOVED THE ENGINE FROM THE CAR, AND "DECARBONED THE CYLINDER"! NOW ABOUT 30000 MILES LATER IT HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AGAIN! *TR
