While driving on highway, car suddenly shifted into neutral and I was unable to get it back in gear. Garage said it needs a new transmission. I was almost hit from car behind because I suddenly had lose of power. No warning lights or any issues indicating something was wrong prior to this incident. Vehicle is available for inspection.
Less than 150,00 miles we needed a brake job done on our van and was told by the repair shop and I quote"the vehicle is so rotted and needs to be junked. The brakes are not unsafe. It seems to me that my 1995 chevy c1500 would have fallen apart a long time ago. I have over 250,000 miles on it.
I was hit from behind on February 4, 2012 on campcreek pkwy in college park GA, because my vehicle stalled when I pressed the gas to take off from the red light, it clunks when making turns, it sounds as if something is loose on the front end, and has made these sounds since I've had it, I have had to repair the brakes frequently, the vehicle stalls when driving on the highway, the temperature gauge goes up and down, the transmission stalls. The dash light sometimes goes out, it runs out of gas when parked on an incline.
The 2005 Chevrolet Uplander van I purchased makes a bad growling/friction noise origiinating from the rear drivetrain/wheel area when making left turns. There is approx. 22,000 miles on the van and still is under warranty. I will be taking it to a cherolet dealer to have inspection/repairs made.
