ON ABOUT 4 OCCASIONS IN THE 5 WEEKS I HAVE HAD MY CAR, THE GEARS HAVE BEEN APPEARING TO SKIP. I HAVE BEEN STOPPED AT LIGHTS AND WHEN I GO AGAIN AND PRESS THE GAS IT JUMPS A GEAR AND LUNGES THE CAR FORWARD. THIS WEEK IT HAPPENED FOR THE 4TH OR 5TH TIME AND THIS TIME I HIT SOMEONE BECAUSE THEY ENDED UP STOPPING IN FRONT OF ME BUT MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD LIKE IT WAS SKIPPING GEARS. IT HAS ALSO ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS DOWNGRADED QUICKLY LIKE IT WAS DROPPING TWO SHIFT SPEEDS AT ONCE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 CHEVROLET TRAVERSE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE GLOBAL POSITIONING NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM WAS DIFFICULT TO READ BECAUSE THE FONT WAS ENTIRELY TOO SMALL. THE NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM ALSO EXHIBITED WHITE LETTERING ON A LIGHT GREEN BACKGROUND, WHICH DID NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH CONTRAST. THE LOCATION OF THE SCREEN WAS ABNORMALLY LOW ON THE DASHBOARD AND CAUSED THE CONTACT TO REMOVE SIGHT FROM THE ROADWAY FOR A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER THEY STATED THAT THE NAVIGATIONAL SYSTEM WAS OPERATING AS DESIGNED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 500. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1500.
