The vehicle is a 4wd Suburban 1500. With 2 wd drive selected and driving at varios speeds from 5 mph to 60 mph the vehicle will go into neutral. This has happened 7 or 8 times. Each time was in traffic which required illuninating emergency flashers and pulling to side of road. Every time presented a safety issue and was fortunate it didn't cause an accident. On one occasion I had just passed a semi on the intersate and had just pulled back into trucks lane when it occurred. Dealership could not detect a problem. The gear shift selector remains in "drive", the dash selector remains illuminated in 2wd and I get no messages on instrument panel message center. To troubleshoot I selected "auto 4 wd" on dash selector and operated for a week with no problem. I then selected 2 wd and the problem reappeared within 2 hours of operation. Once I stopped, I selected 1,2,3 and r on gear selector with no effect. Selected neutral and turned ignition off and then restarted with no effect (on previous occassion I had selected park with vehicle running and noticed a gear grinding noise so didn't want to do that again with engine running). Turned ignition off with gear selector in neutral and selected auto 4 wd and then restarted engine which took care of problem.

Consumer stated that his 2 yr old son was able to pull his vehicle out of park without stepping on the brakes. He stated that the child was in the vehicle and was apparently playing with the gear shifter. He then moved the shift level causing the vehicle to roll backward hitting a pole and bending his front passenger side door. He stated he does not think this vehicle has a shift interlock, which will not allow the gear shifter to be moved without stepping on the brakes first. He stated he took the vehicle to the dealer and they did not know this either. The consumer stated the interlock only works when the key is in the ignition to drive.

While driving on the road I was attempting to merge into highway traffic when the transmission went to shift gears (this is an automatic transmission). The truck went to downshift upon accelerating up and dropped out of gear (gear shift still in drive), the rpms went up very high, as if in neutral. I let off of the accelerator and it eventually dropped into gear. The transmission began making noises and I ended up having it towed to the dealer because it would not go into any gear. The dealer, miller brothers Chevrolet, replaced some parts, including a cracked input housing, and returned the truck to me. Not long after I returned the truck with problems shifting between gears; also when it would downshift when accelerating. They returned the truck to me saying they could not duplicate the problem. The very next day it was doing the same thing and I drove it to the dealer and demanded that a service representative ride with me in the vehicle. I did not need to drive very far beyond the dealer's lot when the representative said to turn around and take it back. He could feel and hear what was happening. They returned the truck to me again after replacing another part. Once again, it beagain with the same problem and is currently at the dealer (6/21/99).
