NHTSA Complaint #11408322 — 2016 GMC SIERRA 1500

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE HOME FROM WORK, THE VEHICLE SHUT DOWN IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC ON A STREET WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND WOULD NOT MOVE AFTER ATTEMPTING TO PUT THE TRUCK IN "DRIVE". I HAD TO CALL FOR AN EMERGENCY ROADSIDE SERVICE (TOW TRUCK) WHICH TOWED THE VEHICLE TO A GMC DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPT. I WAS TOLD BY THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN THAT THE TRANSMISSION TORQUE CONVERTER HAS DISINTEGRATED AND IT WOULD COST OVER $5000 TO REPAIR. THIS VEHICLE DID NOT PROVIDE ANY WARNINGS (NO WARNING SIGNAL DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL) THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED SERVICING. I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 3 YEARS. THIS VEHICLE NEEDS REVIEWING FOR A RECALL.
