Consumer Description

WHEN FIRST STARTING IN THE MORNING, MY ESCALADE ESV MAKES HORRIBLE CLUNKING SOUNDS FROM THE TRANSMISSION. WHEN I PUT IT INTO GEAR, IT JUMPS FORWARD. WHILE DRIVING, THE TRUCK IS VERY JUMPY AND SHIFTS HARD. I DON'T DRIVE THE TRUCK HARD AS ITS MEANT FOR CRUISING AND NOT RACING. THE TRUCK HAS 31000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. I SEE THERE ARE OTHER COMPLAINTS WITH THE SAME ISSUE. GM NEEDS TO FIX THIS! *TR
