I was driving with my family in the car, going around another stalled vehicle on the highway when I was not able to accelerate past 25 MPH. My vehicle acted like it went into neutral, when it should have gone into 3rd gear. I was able to maneuver the vehicle to the side of the road with only brakes and steering. If this had happened while trying to merge onto the highway, I could have been rear ended. From the research I have done online it appears that gm is aware of a faulty 3-5-r wave-plate used within many of their 6 forward gear transmissions used on vehicles from 2007 to 2009. I believe this part should be replaced through a recall to avoid any serious future injuries in all vehicles using this transmission with the faulty wave-plate. I believe this includes 6t70 and 6t75 transmissions in vehicles from 2007-2209.

While driving vehicle on the expressway, the power steering locked up like car had stalled momentarily then regained power. Startled I decided to exit freeway and while making a right hand turn it locked solid again and I heard like a actuator motor make a buzzing sound. This made me very nervous because I lost power twice. I called onstar right away to report incident . This was extremely dangerous. I have driven thousands of cars in my lifetime as I was a former g.m. Dealer but I never have experienced anything like this . I am very concerned someone could be injured severely if this problem occurs in this car or others like it.
