Consumer Description

THE PROBLEM IS AN INTERMITTANT NEUTRAL CONDITION. THIS HAPPENS WHEN STOPPED AT A LIGHT FOR A FEW MINUTES. AFTER RELEASING THE BRAKES AND APPLYING THE ACCELERATOR THE ENGINE REVS, BUT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT MOVE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE TRANSMISSION ENGAGES WITH A LARGE BANG AND THE REAR TIRES BREAK TRACTION. THIS HAS HAPPENED SIX TIMES. THE DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURE SAYS THEY HAVE HAD MANY CALLS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, HOWEVER THEY DON'T HAVE A FIX. ON THE INTERNET, THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM AND GM HAS FIXED IT WITH A NEW VALVE BODY FOR THE TRANSMISSION, AS WELL AS, A NEW FRONT PUMP ASSEMBLY. I FEEL THAT THIS IS UNSAFE AND SHOULD BE FIXED. THANK YOU.
