Feel free to provide further details.
Transmission was slipping in 1st gear and clunking when shifting. After unsuccessfully attempting to rebuild the transmission, gmc told dealer to install a new transmission.
Gm is refusing to fix problem. They claim that front brakes are over heated and rotors blue. Suggest that customer change driving habits and use transmission lower gears to assist slowing vehicle. All this accured between 35,693 miles and 37,389 miles.
During acceleration from a stop, when braking, and when going around a corner a very noticeable clunking noise was heard coming from the front end of the vehicle. Dealer had to contact detroit about the problem and found out that an improper fluid was placed in the awd transfer case at the factory and that the fliud should be flushed and replaced with the new fliud(part no. 12378508). The clunking had also caused the transfer case mounting bolts to become loose probably from the vibration. This service was performed at no cost and have not noticed any similar problems since. The vehicle now has approximately 5200 miles on it.
Vehicle experiences shuddering/bumping/clunk during acceleration and backing from parking space (especially with turning). This is especially noticeable after vehicle is well warmed (particularly after more than 50 miles driven). Symptoms not as noticeable when vehicle is cold.
