| Was driving on a local street a little over 20mph, getting ready to get on highway, when my 2009 tahoe abruptly, forcibly, and instantly dangerously dropped down to almost 10mph. the car behind me had to abruptly stop to avoid colliding with my truck. tried to increase speed to over 10mph and truck kept forcibly jerking. i was able to avoid a a few collisions by turning on my hazard lights and waving out my hand to traffic. definitely did not get on the highway because my truck would not increase speed and continuously, forcibly, and abruptly jerked all the way down to the dealer (approximately 9 miles, 20 minutes driving). | |||
