 Description of the problemOn 12/22/12 @ 5pm- shortly after entering onto the freeway, i started losing power. I didn't get higher than 50 mph before the rpm started increasing & my speed started decreasing. I got off the freeway, at the first exit, approximately 2mins after the beginning of the loss of power. Found a mechanic that was just closing his shop & asked him to give a quick check too see if i could continue my drive home, 32mins away. The mechanic checked under the hood & under the bottom & guesstimated the problem to be the flywheel. The mechanic also recommended no driving til repaired. I got my avalanche towed home that first night. I towed it to my local auto repair shop on 12/24/12, to get a full diagnostic. I was advised by my local mechanic that my 2005 avalanche w/ 96319 mis, needs a new transmission. My local mechanic advised it may still be under warranty due to mileage, but i have since found out the warranty is 5yr/100000mi. Gm is aware of premature transmission failure on the avalanche, but is not fixing it for the consumer. Something needs to be done to protect the consumer!
