Transmission replaced due to torque converter failure. 77000 miles on my 2011 impala. This vehicle is not driven hard. Driving at about 40 MPH- the vehicle slipped out of gear. Very scary for this to happen. Traffic was very light. I was fearful because the street I was on was only one lane in each direction, and not much of a shoulder. I felt very lucky I was not on the freeway. This I believe could have been very dangerous. I was able to drive the car at a very slow speed to a dealership that was less than a mile away. Sad part I was over 300 miles from home. Torque converter failure caused heavy metal debris in the transmission leaving me with a bill totaling $3368.52. (plus other expenses due to my distance from home.)

After stopping for fuel approximately 900 miles from home, after filling the vehicle, started the car and as we pulled out of the gas station, the transmission slipped out of gear and into neutral without any forward or reverse gearing. Upon placing the vehicle in park, turning the engine off and restarting the vehicle, it moved forward and the transmission totally disengaged as before. Onstar vehicle diagnostics reported a non coded total failure. The vehicle was towed to the closest gm dealer and we were told that it maybe a week before they can give us any specifics to its cause, repair or warranty coverage.

Starting from stopped position, transmission slips when pressing gas pedal. No error codes. Also when coming to a complete stop, after stopping, the vehicle jerks, like it is going from neutral into first gear.
