Consumer Description

8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION DOWN SHIFTS AT A STOP WITH SUCH FORCE IT FEELS AS YOU HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND BY ANOTHER CAR WHILE COMING TO A STOP. TRANSMISSION ALSO WILL NOT ALWAYS ENGAGE PROPERLY AND WILL OVER REV AND SLAM INTO GEAR POSSIBLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. TRANSMISSION AT TIMES WILL DISENGAGE WHILE GOING FORWARD THEN SLAM INTO GEAR WITH GREAT FORCE. I WAS TOLD BY A GM INSIDER THAT GM IS AWARE SOME TRANSMISSIONS ARE DEFECTIVE AND IS WORKING ON A KIT TO FIX THE FLUID STARVATION PROBLEM INTERNALLY BUT HAS DONE NOTHING TO INFORM OWNERS OF THE POTENTIAL DANGERS OF ERRATIC SHIFTING THAT IT'S CAUSING WHILE DRIVING. THIS ALSO CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO OVER HEAT AND TO ILLUMINATE A WARNING LAMP.
