6 Equipment problem of the 2009 GMC Envoy

Failure Date: 08/26/2020

The transmission I had to have it replaced but the one they put in it is really acting like the other transmission did no reverse and the first 2 gears were making this grinding noise I've never heard before and it happened when I was backing out the driveway to go to work lucky I made it to the place where I got it to fix it but I believe this transmission they put in it is going to do the same thing because it drives just like the old one.

7 Equipment problem of the 2004 GMC Envoy

Failure Date: 10/03/2019

The transmission started to slip, noticed it starting to have issues getting up to proper speed without slipping and trying to stall, and was told by previous owner whom I'm purchasing it from that there is a possible issue with the transfer case as well, as it engages it's 4 wheel drive without me touching it, tried to service the transmission and put fresh fluid and a new filter in to see if it would help and now it can only go as fast as 40 to 55 before it starts to slip pretty bad. I have a baby on the way due in the next couple weeks and with it slipping and dropping speed it can cause me to end up getting hit and I don't want to put mine, my child, or any of my other passengers in danger.
