| Description of the problem | I have a 2005 chevy tahoe, that has over 100,000 miles. I first noticed a problem a few months ago when i was driving and it would seem like the pedal would stick a little bit, but i didn't think anything odd about that. (because i thought maybe might foot wasn't accelerating properly) the day before thanksgiving without warning i was on the highway driving around 65 mph and the vehicle started to drag horribly. I immediately exited the highway and pulled into a gas station to check my transmission fluid, which was full. I took the vehicle to aamco, they placed it on the machine and everything came back fine, however, when the mechanic drove the vehicle he determined it was stuck in 3rd gear. The vehicle repairs total @ $1800. 00 which i don't have especially around the holiday's. The vehicle is now sitting in my garage because i cannot afford to pay for it. I purchased this vehicle when i lived in georgia in 10/2006, it had 55,000 miles on it at the time with no visible abuse. |
