What owners wrote
...wife stopped on hill to speak to son.. I believe at this point the vehicle went to neutral, when she try to go forward, it went down the hill hit a pole and rolled over.
I have a 2015 GMC yukon xl denali. Truck was purchased from GMC certified dealer in july 2018, with 16,000 miles. The truck is garaged kept, and gently used with only 37,500 miles. When sometimes driving at low speeds, the transmission will sometimes slip (aka studder). When starting (engine is cold) and shifting into d, sometimes the transmission shifts hard, or slams into 1st gear. That can't possibly be good for the transmission. Occasionally the transmission will shift hard between gears at moderate speed.
