Consumer Description

WHEN DRIVING AND THE TRUCK SHIFTS GEAR IN 30MPH IT STARTS TO VIBRATE OR JERK AND THE RPM JUST BOUNCES UP AND DOWN SAME THING HAPPENS IN 40 MPH AND 50 MPH AS WELL I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER SHIP IN FALL OF 2019 AND ALL THEY DID WAS A TRANS FLUID FLUSH. AND WORKED FINE FOR A BIT NOW THE TRUCK STARTED TO DO THE SAME THIN IN THE BEGINING OF JULY 2020 AND TOOK IT AGAIN TO THE DEALER AND THEY WANTED TO DO THE SAME THING THEY DID IN 2019 DO THE TRANS FLUID FLUSH. NOT THIS TIME MY EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS NOT COVERING IT BECAUSE THE SAID IT WAS A MAINTENANCE WHICH IS NOT CORRECT BECAUSE GM KNOW IT WAS AN ISSUE AND I HAD ALREADY DONE THE FLUCH BACK IN 2019 AND THE DEALER DIDNT WANT TO COVER IT ETHIER I WOULD HAVE TO PAY ALMOST 500 TO GET IT DONE. I DONT KNOW HAT ELSE TO DO
