"The transmission on my acadia has died. my wife went to pickup our son from a friend's house. the car drove fine on the way over. when they got back in the car, to leave, the car would not go into gear. she could move the shift lever into reverse but the car wouldn't go."
"Due to deceleration the mechanic replaced the throttle body. after that the vehicle decelerates often driving down the street and seems to slip into neutral. also will just die at times. now they are saying a new transmission even though it was replaced 13 months ago."
