PULLING OUT OF THE DEALERSHIP LOCATED ON A BUSY STREET AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULDN'T ENGAGE. IT WAS JUST SURGING AND I ALMOST CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. READING ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS SAME PROBLEM REALLY DISTURBS ME. MY SON IN LAW WORKS FOR GM. I ONLY OWN CHEVYS BUT TO THINK THAT YOU WOULD ALLOW THIS OBVIOUS PROBLEM TO GO ON PUTTING MANY PEOPLES LIVES AT RISK MAKES ME RETHINK MY DECISION. I DEMAND THAT THIS BE INVESTIGATED BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR UPDATED 2/10/2016 *JS
