Tahoe

  • 190,000 miles
While driving with my family in the car and without warning, the car stopped moving. In the middle of an intersection it was as if it was in neutral. This was terrifying, then all of a sudden it felt like I was hit from behind and the car popped into gear and shot forward. I now have no reverse and unsure which gears might work, as I immediately got it home. I am a disabled veteran on a limited income and no am facing possibly huge expenses for transmission repairs that I now have read have been complaints on my car for years! I can't understand how GM/Chevrolet doesn't see transmission issues as a safety problem. This transmission has had way too many complaints. Having no warning and the inability to be able to move the car in an intersection could have been catastrophic!! alos when calling a local dealership they should be better informed about any tsb's as to inform consumers. I just thank god my family is safe, however am now out of a car. Thanks General Motors/Chevrolet, looks like youre losing another loyal customer.

When the gas pedal is released the car continues at current speed for 5 to 8 seconds before decelerating. The tachometer reading does not drop during this time. This happens at highway speeds and driving around town speeds. It's scary. It will decelerate and the tachometer reading drop when the brakes are applied, but I'm never sure.
