Hey guys,

Well this happened to us twice, first with me and the second time being Saturday with my Mother at the wheel.

Feb of 06
Again this is the second time, first time happened at 67,000 miles or so on the way to class. I was on the freeway entrance, gave it some throttle and the truck got up to 50 and then nothing. It comes without warning, it shifted smooth the rest of the time we drove it.

. I had onstar at the time and had them send me help, it was scary as hell seeing traffic rush by me at full speed so I tried getting the Hoe to move closer to the emergency lane. Well it got me closer and actually let me keep it under 30mph with hazards on to get off the freeway and park. Upon them towing it to the local dealer (at the time was Leo Hoffman Chevrolet which is now closed) they gave me the news in the morning we needed a new tranny at 67,000 miles. What bull

T is that?! It was in 2006, I raised hell by emailing GM, they offered to help

Second time (Feb of 09?!?)
It was over the weekend on the way home from the market with the Mums driving a couple of miles down from our home in our 2001 Chevy Tahoe. We were in drive, motor purring clean without hesitation, and she gives it some throttle and..up go the revs. I already knew what we were in for

No movement whatsoever in any gear except reverse and a heavy mechanical rubbing noise underneath, almost as if the gears were trying to go in but nothing and then a shake. So I tell her to shut the truck off, turn it back on and put it in Drive and moves a little..enough to where I can push it safely out of harms way. This time I decided to have the truck towed home up until we can figure out what to do and try not to drive it.

So it's at the dealer, we're waiting for the morning to see what they tell us. So far we talked to the service manager who said he is going to talk to GM about it and see what they can do. Second trans had a 3 year, 50 or 100 thousand mile warranty, fairly odd since it happened the same month but we'll see..I need some help and suggestions you guys
