| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: 1 month after purchase of my 2007 chevy tahoe the service engine light came on. i alerted onstar as i was stranded on the road. onstar indicated through a probe check that my transmission had malfunctioned but the problem would correct itself and the light would go off and i could keep driving the truck. the light went off and i kept driving. some time later onstar was alerted for the same problems, i was told the same as before by onstar. about 1 year after i bought this tahoe i was stranded again around 10:30p.m. along side an unsafe highway with my 3 children. onstar was called and again stated a transmission error that would correct itself and after driving the light should go off. i drove this tahoe home having to pull off the road several times to allow my transmission temperature to cool to prevent further damage. the next morning the light had gone off and i was on my way to take the tahoe to the dealership where it was purchased. 5 miles or so from my home the light comes back on and i alert onstar and was told that i needed to drive the truck to my nearest chevrolet dealership. as i pulled back on the road the transmission stops working immediately as i am sitting in on-comming traffic. i quickly put the truck in reverse as drive will not work any longer to get myself out of harms way. chevrolet was called and transported my truck to their dealership as this was where it was purchased. my truck stayed in the shop three days as they had to rebuild the transmission. i had to pay for a rental with my own money. after picking my truck up from being repaired i was once again stranded along i-95 with my children 2 hours later. as of today my truck is still waiting to be hauled into chevrolet. *jb |
