“Intermittent transmission slip- inability to use reverse and/or drive. My 2001 chevy venture has been in for service at my local chvey dealership numerous times for this problem over the past 3-4 months. The vehicle has 22k miles. Guess what the service manager told me after today's tow to the dealer ?? No problem could be found - the vehicle - operates as designed amazingly enough when my wife went to back out of the parking spot we were in we could not move. The vehicle was making a loud grinding noise and sounded as if something was spinning inside the transmission. …”
