problem #104

Jan 092020

Silverado 1500

  • 65,000 miles
The transmission began shifting oddly and more sudden than normal and was not getting enough power unless the accelerator was pressed really hard. While my car was under warranty (<60,000 miles), the dealership, lafferty Chevy, indicated the shifting was a result of an adaptive transmission that learns my driving habits and it was normal. Now, the problem is worse 6 months later, and the car is out of power-train warranty (65K miles), and they inspected it further and have told me the transmission needs to be fully replaced. The transmission and power train made it very safe to drive these past few months and GM knows this is an issue and the dealer said nothing about this until the problem got much worse and is now out of warranty.

Silverado 1500

  • 80,000 miles
This truck is on its 3rd transmission. Both failed the exact same way. The torque converter overheated due to the V8 to V4 mode and warped the transmission. The first transmission swap was under warranty. The second swap was not. Which I had to pay $4800 to replace. My mechanic told me this is a known issue with this model and they had to upgrade the transmissions. The second transmission that went in did not lat but 50K miles. Ridiculous. I do not drive my truck aggressively, nor is there any reason the trans should have failed twice with the exact scenario. It had increased rpms on the engine but truck did not move. When speed would slow down it felt like I was driving on rumble strips and I was on a back country road. I should be compensated for the second trans swap. GM knew about this issue but never put a recall out. I am not a satisfied customer.

Silverado 1500

  • 120,000 miles
While driving the truck started making a weird noise and then would almost feel like U ran over rumble strips. Within a couple weeks the truck will now no longer switch gears. There are shavings in tranny fluid. Almost had an accident because the truck just wouldn't shift or go while on the interstate. Chevy has put faulty torque converters in these trucks and they need to be held responsible for fixing this problem. There are thousands of other people that have the same exact thing happen to them. Failure was at only 120,000 miles and our truck is very well taken care of, maintenance done, and was never ever drove hard.

Silverado 1500

  • 74,500 miles
I started my truck and while in a parked position the dashboard displays a message regarding power-steering has been reduced, please drive with caution. I googled it and notice that my particular model has a known issue and re-called. I called Chevrolet customer service and they said since my VIN # has no open recalls, they couldn't assist and that I have the option to take it to a service shop and pay out of pocket to fix. It is frustrating that with all the information online I couldn't get any help on this matter.

Silverado 1500

  • 141,000 miles
I bought my 2014 Silverado new. After 10,000 miles I could hear something in the drivetrain between 2nd and 3 rd gear make a moaning sound. Brought it to the dealership and couldn't find anything. This went on until 141,000 miles and the transmission came out. Had it rebuilt for $ $3,700 and was told the torque converter caused the problem. Now I'm at 181,000 and we are hoping it's the tcm inside the transmission but if not who knows what this will cost. I think GM should be responsible for defective torque converters as I have read more customers have had the same problem. It would be nice to see some kind of reimbursement. I love my truck and have owned nothing but GM vehicles but this should not happen twice.

Silverado 1500

  • 96,000 miles
Vehicle looses power when turning, radio screen flashes on/off, stabilitrak error displays on screen, total loss of power to vehicle while on the road while driving while in motion. This specific VIN# was involved in a recall for the exact issue last year and was repaired but is still functioning as per manufacturer agreement. This vehicle is unsafe to be on the road as is. Took it back to autonation gulf fwy to get a diagnostic they claimed it was the neg batt terminal, I got that fixed still having the same issue. GM nor Chevy want to help with this issue. I guess they are waiting for someone to die before they take this issue seriously. I don't see paying for all the repairs out of pocket if I just bought this vehicle Aug 28, 2018 and was never informed that it had been involved in a recall.

While driving vehicle while turn itself off with no explanation. This has happened multiple times in the last few months. It has increased since I got the last recall done. This is extremely dangerous as it has shut off while I was turning across lanes and died in the middle of the intersection. The truck shuts completely off and has to be restated by turning the key.

Silverado 1500

  • 139,000 miles
Was pulling out of my driveway when the transmission slipped and car had to slam on its brakes so it wouldn't hit me. Then it was sluggish and slipping on my 30 minute drive to work on interstate 81. On the way home it started to get worse and making an awful humming sound out of the transmission. I've researched this problem and everyone is having the same problem with GMC and Chevy 1500 trucks from 2014 to 2017. I check the fluids every week and there are always good. It just seems there should be a recall if everyone is having the same problem. Thank you.
