NHTSA Complaint #11020111 — 2010 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE

MY AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION WON'T SHIFT TO HIGHER GEARS WHEN I ACCELERATE. I HAVE TO PULL OVER, COME TO A COMPLETE STOP, SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK AND THEN BACK TO DRIVE. THAT SOMEHOW "RESETS" THE TRANSMISSION AND THE ENGINE BEHAVES NORMALLY AFTER THAT. THIS HAPPENS ALMOST DAILY. FRUSTRATING THING IS THAT MECHANICS HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN ONCE. THEY SAY THEY ARE UNABLE TO ID WHAT'S WRONG. I DON'T UNDERSTAND THAT AT ALL. I'M TELLING THEM EXACTLY WHAT'S HAPPENING AND THEY DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START. AND THE CAR'S COMPUTER DOESN'T KICK OUT AN ERROR MESSAGE. THIS HAPPENS ON ALL KINDS OF ROADS. MY CAR WON'T SHIFT OUT OF 1ST GEAR. IF I DON'T PULL OVER TO "RESET" THE ENGINE, I GET A HOT METAL SMELL FROM THE ENGINE. VERY FRUSTRATING....THE MECHANICS HAVE NO CLUE WHERE TO START LOOKING. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR MONTHS. I'VE GONE TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND THEY'RE ALL GRASPING AT STRAWS.
