Hey all, first post here. I had an 03 Suburban z71 that I wrecked due to an electrical issue. I never thought 8mph would bust a steel frame.
As a replacement, I picked up an 08 Yukon Xl SLT with 160k miles. Super clean, clean carfax, service records, 1 local owner here in NC. Test drive went great, checked it over thoroughly, had a mechanic check it out. Long story short, once in a blue moon, when accelerating from a stop, it won't shift out of first. I bought the truck Thursday, and it did it once on Friday, and once today. Both times it was the first time I had driven it that day, and I was pulling out of my driveway. I had to pull over, put it in park, cut it off and start over. Besides those two times, there have been no indication of a problem. Trans temp stays around 160-170, it shifts smooth, no jerking, I don't even feel it downshifting when coming to a stop like I could in my Suburban.
I plan on contacting the dealer to see if he'll help me out or if he has any suggestions. He's a small one man dealer, and I bought it as is expecting to put a little money in it sooner or later. Has anyone else had this issue, should I worry, or is it no big deal?
