Consumer Description

BETWEEN 20 AND 40 MPH TRUCK FAILS TO SHIFT TO A LOWER GEAR AND INCREASE SPEED. THIS CAUSES THE DRIVER TO KEEP PRESSING ON THE GAS AND THEN VEHICLE DECIDES TO SHIFT TO A LOWER GEAR AND LURCHES FORWARD, IF YOU'RE IN TRAFFIC THIS IS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOST DANGEROUS AND IF THE WEATHER IS SEVERE (SNOW OR ICE) COULD CAUSE YOU TO LOOSE CONTROL OF VEHICLE. I'VE NOTIFIED GM THROUGH THEIR ASSISTANCE CENTER AND HAVE YET TO HEAR FROM A GM ENGINEER. THE SHIFTING PROBLEM IS WELL DOCUMENTED ON THE WEB.
