Consumer Description
My transmission shifts very hard from first to second gear, and when accelerating onto a freeway. It literally jolts the entire vehicle. Recently on two occasions at less than 5 mph it shifted so hard it felt as if I was struck from behind by another vehicle. I’ve been told by my local GMC service department that it is a “learning” transmission and it’s learning how I drive. That was their remedy.
