What owners wrote
On 3/25/20 at approximately 7:20pm I was traveling a north bound direction on us highway 51 in lane 1 (fast lane). My 2017 chevrolet suburban started to jerk and the RPM gauge excelled to 5/6 RPM. Then, the suburban came to an abrupt stop in the middle of lane 1. At that time I was rear-ended by a law enforcement officer. The officer was unaware I was stopped, because I did not have any indications such as brake lights.

The vehicle was restarted, shifted to neutral(N) and then drive(D) and driven for a short while before the failure reoccurred. The vehicle was taken to a family members’ residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.
