| Sat. 2/16/13 i started my 02 suburban up by turning the key through an open drivers side window. the car lurched forward about 6 inches. this has happened intermittently for years, but really noticed it this time because my arm get hit by steering wheel since i was outside vehicle. normally when it happens i am seated in car and notice it seems to jump forward. it happens probably once every 100-150 starts. any idea why and what i can do about it. afraid someone may be in front of car someday and might get hurt if it lurched. also could have done damage to my garage door if it had been down. *tr | |||

| I have a 2002 suburban that since i purchased it in 2002 i have been complaining about the transmission not shifting right. every time i brought it in it would be in the dealership for less than a day and i would be told that everything is okay. now my warranty is up and my transmission is broke. i have no reverse, and it does not want to down shift on any forward gear. i called a trans shop in my area and they stated that with chevy suburbans of my year (give and take 3years both ways) there is a very common problem with the seal in the trans that it wears too soon and trans oil leaks while driving down the road - the owner does not even notice it - because it gets blown away while driving. this to me seems like something that should be fixed by the manufacturer. the fact that when i called the trans shop (atomic transmissions) they new right away what happened. *tr | |||
