THE VEHICLE HAS 87,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED AT DEALERSHIP. WHILE DRIVING THRU A PARKING LOT I FELT IT SHIFT HARD. IT DROVE FINE FOR A FEW MILES, THEN WHILE IN RESIDENTIAL AREA I HEARD A SQUEALING NOISE. I STOPPED AND TURNED OFF VEHICLE. TURNED IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD NOT GO IN REVERSE. WAITED ABOUT 30 MINUTES TURNED IT ON AGAIN AND IT WOULD GO IN REVERSE BUT NOT DRIVE. WAITED AGAIN FOR 30 MINUTES AND STARTED IT AGAIN AND IT WOULD NOT GO IN ANY GEAR. THERE SHOULD NOT BE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AT 87,000 ON A ONE OWNER, WELL MAINTAINED VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT MY VEHICLE FOR 26 DAYS BEFORE RETURNING IT. GM CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS NOT HELPFUL AND VERY HARD TO DEAL WITH. THERE IS OBVIOUSLY A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS TRANSMISSION. THE REASON FOR THE 26 DAY DELAY IS BECAUSE THEY HAD SO MANY IN FOR REPAIRS. WHILE THE 87,000 MILES WAS INSIDE THE MILEAGE WARRANTY, THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF WARRANTY BY TIME. *TR
