| Transmission is slipping out of gear and drops into neutral for 1-2 seconds, and then goes back into gear, causing a revving in engine. consumer contacted dealer in july 2000, but could not determine cause. currently, consumer is having problems with transmission sticking in gear. same dealer claims transmission needs to be replaced. *ak consumer states stuck gear resulted in an engine brake condition in a reduced speed zone where vehicle speed is suddenly reduced with no brake lights on, consumer found tsb 99-07-30-005 regarding this problem and stated the recommendation was to replace the valve body assembly, however this was not been done until the valve body assembly failed which caused 3rd gear to lock on the highway, consume rwants gm to take responsibility for this problem. *slc | |||

| This truck is a safety hazard in the summer to drive. it will without warning in hot weather, failed to accellerate. as the pedal is pushed further to the floor the engine will lose rpm. it will run at an idle and die if accelerator is pushed all the way to the floor. it only does it in warm weather and if allowed to stabilize at an idle can sometimes be driven away. it has done this with passengers in the vehicle and is unsafe. gm has refused to replace parts and i have been told by the vendor that provides the 1-800 line sevice that no parts will be replaced until it logs a code. it does not log a code so i am unable to prove this condition exists. i am not happy and gm is not inclined to take care of the problem. this truck is a lemon and needs to be taken care of. the dealer is ignorant and needs to be shut down. i am not impressed with the gm approach to repair. ignore a pissed off customer and he will go away. when this truck kills someone it will be to late. *ak | |||
