Description of the problem	On november 17, 2014, i was stopped in the middle lane of a highway waiting to pull into business parking lot, when i accelerated to pull in, my truck moved forward and then would only rev up the rpm's, almost getting hit by on coming traffic on the highway, i coasted in the parking lot, as the rpm's were still up, the transmission engaged and the truck moved forward with a loud thump. Local dealership replaced a part ($900) and sent me on my way. On december 27, 2014 while driving away from my house, once again the engine would rev up and the truck just coasted until it engaged causing a loud thump. I called and left message with service writer. On january 02, 2015, i was with 1/2 mile of my house and truck would not shift, i was able to turn around and drive back to the house at a very low speed keeping the rpm's low. Truck is currently at local dealership waiting for my approval to replace transfer case which has a pin hole in it and some other parts for $3100. I realize that problems can happen with any manufacture, however this gm issue with a pinhole in the transfer case that is caused by an internal part that breaks and drivers losing power to the drive train is a regular occurrence. I found many forums and solutions on the internet and one on nhtsa. After market parts have been developed to replace the cheap parts within the transfer case to prevent this from happening, unfortunately i did not research this issue prior to having the issue. In addition, i called a local repair shop to get an estimate for the transfer case replacement, i was told they repaired three in the last two weeks and two are in the shop for the same problem. Loss of power to the drive train is not something to ignore, from personal vehicles to public safety vehicles, this power loss could turn into something much larger than some atf stain in the driveway. Thank you
