While driving on the freeway, vehicle lost acceleration although gas pedal was engaged. When I released my foot from the pedal, the gear engaged and vehicle continued for a short time before repeating same symptom. Vehicle did not fix itself. Safely coasted to shoulder of freeway. Put vehicle in park. Let it sit a moment and shifted back to drive. Was able to get vehicle off freeway and to safe location, but it continued to slip from gear. It finally stuck in 1st gear and would not shift up.
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.
