2002 tahoe. Purchased 9/04. 1 week later engine light and traction light came on took back to dealership had 34000 miles and they said it was a sensor and claim to have fixed the problem. since that time have noticed that transmission misses at 40 mph and slow acceleration from a stop or not full power when trying to get onto interstate etc that a V8 engine should have. 9/05 tried to drive to work and got to stop light and engine would on rev and no power. Had towed to dealership they advised need new transmission or rebuild existing one. 50,000 miles on vehicle now, never used it to tow anything etc only driven 16000 miles since purchase. This could not be anything we have done to cause the problem has to be manufacturing defect or existing problem when purchased and no help from dealership at this point. They want 2400.00 to rebuild the transmission. Never buy another one again. *nm
