What kind of transmission problem does GMC Safari have?
I have a 1999 GMC Safari with only 3300 miles (not a typo). After coming home last evening from a 1-1/2 hour drive, after a stop sign, the transmission had an abrupt shift from 1-2 gear. It happened all the way home from off the freeway to driveway (approx 4 miles).
