POWER TRAIN
SINCE DECEMBER OF 2017 THE TRANSMISSION, WHEN COLD, AT APPROX. 25 MPH AND AT 40-44 MPH WHEN NEUTRAL THROTTLE IS APPLIED, BANGS BETWEEN GEARS FORCING THE OPERATOR TO EITHER ACCELERATE OR DECELERATE SO THE CONDITION WILL CEASE. IF THERE IS NO CHANGE BY THE OPERATOR, IT FEELS AS IF THE TRANSMISSION WILL BREAK THE U-JOINTS IN THE DRIVELINE OR BLOWOUT THE REAR-END GEARS. I HAVE MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS WITH GMC TO REMEDY THE ISSUE TO NO AVAIL. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN THE DEALERSHIP IN EXCESS OF 40 DAYS FOR THE SAME PROBLEM WITH NO RESOLUTION
