NHTSA Complaint #11630788 — 2015 GMC SIERRA 1500

On 12/11/24 I had exited I95N, While traveling down the exit ramp I felt my truck buck, upon the light changing I went to accelerate and the truck transmission slipped and barely got into first gear. I again came to another traffic light and the transmission did the same thing. I put my hazard lights on and shifted through all the gears and finally I was able to get the truck moving. The following morning I brought the truck to my local mechanic and I was told I needed a new transmission, which is going to cost me $4400. About a year prior my daughter had a similar problem with her 2018 Chevy Silverado in which she had to replace the transmission valve body. With both of these occurrences the truck gives you no warnings and just stops driving and causes a real threat to safety.
