PURCHASED MAY 31, 2005. 39 MILEAGE. $43,000.00. 8 MONTHS LATER THE TRANSMISSION STARTED JERKING. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER 6+ TIMES AND THEY SAID THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. NOW AT 75,000 MILES IT WON'T DRIVE IN D IT HAS TO BE IN 3, 2, 1 TO DRIVE. I HAVE READ 100'S OF COMPLAINT ABOUT TRANSMISSIONS IN 2000-2010 MODELS. GM NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR CUSTOMER TRANSMISSION PROBLEM OR DESIGN A BETTER TRANSMISSION. *TR
