POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
I HAVE A 2002 TAHOE THAT JUST TURNED 41K MILES. I EXPERIENCED ON A FEW OCCASIONS WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP THAT THE VEHICLE SEEMED TO LOSE ACCELERATION FOR A SECOND OR SO BEFORE RE-ENGAGING AND RESUMING NORMAL ACCELERATION. PROBLEM WAS DEFINITELY TRANSMISSION RELATED. THIS SAME INCIDENT HAPPENED TO ME BUT THIS TIME THE ENGINE REVVED, ACCELERATION DIMINISHED, AND LOUD BANGING TUMBLING METAL NOISE WAS HEARD. ENDS UP THE TRANSMISSION MECHANISM THAT CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT FAILED AND BROKE APART BREAKING OTHER INTERNAL COMPONENTS. TRANSMISSION HAS TO BE REBUILT. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS HELPFUL BUT STILL HAVE TO PAY FOR 50% OF REPAIR COST FOR REBUILT TRANSMISSION. THE VEHICLE HAS A TOW PACKAGE AND HAS NEVER TOWED A THING YET. OBVIOUSLY A PROBLEM THIS GRAND IN A VEHICLE DID NOT HAPPEN OVERNIGHT AND IT APPEARS THIS PROBLEM IS SIMILAR TO OTHER TRANSMISSION COMPLAINTS ON THE SAME VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD REALLY BE LOOKED AT BY THOSE THAT KNOW. *JB
