Consumer Description

I was on the interstate, heading out of town. I heard a loud noise from under the car. The car started slowing down and would not accelerate. This could have been very dangerous if I had been in the middle of 5:00 traffic. I took the next exit in front of me and pulled into a gas station. Looked under car and seen no obvious damage. Got back in and the car and put it back into drive. It would barely pull and then quick pulling all together within a few feet. The D/drive light started flashing. No warnings at all before this happened. I was 200 miles away and had to have it towed back home. Put it in the GMC shop and was told it needed a transmission.
