While sitting at a stop on a 9degree incline behind another vehicle I started to accelerate to move up to the stop sign. As I pressed on the accelerator the engine rpm's increased but the vehicle didn't move as if the transmission was not engaging, then without warning it jerked forward. I had to apply the brakes to keep from hitting the vehicle in front of me. I have also had problems with this vehicle transmission such as transmission flutter, harsh shifts in lower gears, etc etc.

8 speed transmission buffets at low rpm's between the speed of 40 and 80. The vehicle's transmission does not engage when cold. This has been an ongoing issue since the vehicle had approximately 25,000 miles on it.
I had been rear ended, my daughter took my 2010 Yukon to the local dealer (findlay) on may 12, 2016, she was told accident didn't cause the problem and would need the tire sensor checked at a cost of $500. 00. Yesterday (June 8, 2016) coming home from work, I was turning off the main highway onto a residential street (riverview) as I made the turn the cars abs brake sensor light went off and so did the light as though I on was on ice, but I was on a paved road and speed was low maybe 10 mph, it went off almost as quickly as it came on. So I proceeded, stop at a 4 way stop sign (riverview and lakeside), when I proceeded on all the door locks started going off and the power and transmission would not engage. I traveled approximately 500 feet before the car engaged and started running. I am trying to find out if this is a common problem and if so are there any resolutions and is anyone else having this problem. In a week I need to travel 200 miles to a doctor and I'm concerned that this is major.

Transmission fails to engage drive unless placed into reverse. When stuck in drive, pushing on the accelerating will cause car to move forward slowly, until their is a loud violent sound from the rear of the vehicle ar which point the vehicle will engage drive and proceed in a sluggish fashion. The vehicle has been at the dealer who had investigated and fixed the problem since November 2005 and the problem persists today (2-7-2006). The problem presented itself after the dealership flushed and changed the transmission fluid at approximately 53000 miles (the service dept recommended the service). The transmission has been faulty ever since. The vehicle is 2002 GMC Yukon, 2 wd.
