Description of the problem | On or about november 26, 2020, at 1:30 am while driving on i-30 westbound in texarkana, tx traveling at the posted speed of 75 mph in a 2018 camaro zl1. The transmission blew out while in cruise control and all systems that transmit power from the engine or propulsion device to the wheels were lost and the vehicle had to coast onto the emergency shoulder until it came to a complete stop away from oncoming traffic. I had contacted chevy emergency roadside assistance through the vehicles onstar and this service was of no avail. As an alternative i had to utilize triple a in order to have the vehicle towed to orr chevrolet service department texarkana, tx this vehicle series has the tr6060 transmission is for 6 speed manuals which is manufactured by tremec contains devices and systems that transmit power from the engine or propulsion device to the wheels. Therefore, when shifting between neutral, 1st - 2nd gear and back to neutral encountered numerous events wherein the shifting mechanism grinds and/or drops back into neutral while the vehicle is in motion, with notable fluttering of the shifter and rubbing or friction noise this is associated with the synchronizers. The this is extremely dangerous when pulling in traffic and operating a vehicle in this manner is only a matter of time before a major accident ensues.
