Bad airbag sensor. Transmission wet out with 144000 miles

- Frankfort, IL, USA

My transmission had to be replaced. It has always lunged, jerked, shake and make several unnatural noises. It would clunk into gear or not go in the proper gear. Several times it would not down shift and pushed me into the intersection either at a stop sign or red light. It felt as if I was hit from behind. One day it wouldn't go forward or reverse. It started working later and I took it to a dealership. There were no warning lights on so no codes were displayed. Suggested driving it as maybe it was just a glitch. The next day it wouldn't go over 40 mph and check engine light came on. I took it back to dealership. After they saw the codes, a mechanic looked at it and said there was metal in the transmission fluid and it smelled burnt. They said it needed a new transmission. I took it to a transmission shop and they confirmed it needed replaced. I had this done and it was over $5000. Transmission shop said they do 2-3 transmissions for Silverado a week, especially 2016 and 2017.

Is available upon request. Transmission chugging, quite often. Pulsing after turning a corner trying to resume speed. Difficulty shifting when cold. Noticed this happening occasionally, but this problem is definitely getting worse, happening daily. I only have 27,000 miles on this truck. I stopped by the dealership and was told to change the transmission fluid myself since the warranty was up. Very disappointed.

- Bay City, MI, USA

Transmission failure resulting in loss of power. Was not able to accelerate up a interstate incline. With no area to pull over and heavy traffic it almost caused an accident. I restarted the truck and was able to put it in manual mode to 4th gear and made it off the intertstate. I did not notify any individuals and called a friend with a trailer to pick up the vehicle.

- Pooler, GA, USA

Major transmission shudder at 65-80 mph, creating control issues. Hard downshifting causing a vehicle push, hard to stop. Problem not confirmed by dealer, I'm out of warranty. No warning lamps or messages. 50,000 miles

The transmission in my truck has been giving me problems off and on since I purchased it a few years back. I have told the dealer about it and they said they could not find a problem and that's because it is very sporadic when it happens. What is happening is it shifts really hard like it's not in gear when you hit the gas and then it just takes off, it is to the point where now it Jenks really hard when shifting and it also has been downshifting for no reason. There are no warnings alarms or messages displayed and yes it can be inspected but the couple times I asked them being Sterling Buick GMC they tell me the techs can not duplicate the issue and that's because it does not happen all the time. Thank you

Transmission failed on vehicle with less than 27,000 miles. Required total overhaul costing over 4,000 $. No prior symptoms, no check engine light upon failure. This on top of over 5,000 $ of engine overhaul due to lifter failure last year. These are both known, prominent defects of this family of vehicles I unfortunately own.

- Copperas Cove, TX, USA

I started having a shift issue and feeling vibrations around 25-30000 miles. Was told it was my tires. They were a little wore, so replace them and again the issues were still there. I brought it back to dealer and they said the transfer case was bad. Replaced by dealer. Same issues, returned to dealer. They made some adjustments and tried to send me away. After an aliment they did, it was said truck was fine. Another heavy clunk and hard shift around 68000 miles, back to dealer, asked to have transmission inspected, told the fuild was fine no issues. Was told that's just how this truck handles. Wrong. Something is wrong. I was sent away again. Now close to 97000 miles have have a P0741code and told the transmission is bad and needs replaced. The vehicle is never been in an accident, has only had minor weight in the bed. Never towed anything with the truck, northern transmission is faulty and causing driving problems.

Driving truck on vacation on the highway in traffic and when slowed down would hesitate going into gear when accelerating. Was able to get it in gear to try to exit highway. Was nearly rear ended in the process. Went to transmission shop immediately and was told no error codes and transmission fluid looked good so most likely transmission was going. We were about 200 miles from our destination and left stranded in unknown area. Truck towed to garage who confirmed failed transmission. Cost almost 6k to replace. Truck odometer just went over 61K miles!

- Virginia Beach, VA, USA

Transmission issues. Brought Vehicle to Chevrolet dealership in Wisconsin. Explained the the vehicle had a vibration and I thought if might be a tire. They indicated that it was the Transmission fluid had to be changed. They change it and it was under warranty then. 10000 miles later the vibration is back. Brought it to a dealership in Indiana and they informed me that the dealership in Wisconsin put the fluid that was not the correct one. Now GM service wants 650 to fix the problem. Why didn't they correct this prior. They indicated they have done over 100 pickup trk like mine to fix the problem. Apparently GM dosen't want to take responsibility.

Transmission related issue - per dealer diagnosis, the transmission on the vehicle need to be replaced due to 1st gear bumping/harsh, rough/chuggling & being delayed when shifting. Complete lost of 1st gear after reaching operating temperature. Sudden loss of acceleration and the vehicle stalling while driving on a busy the freeway is a big safety issue to both the driver and other commuters. Vehicle was inspected by the Chevy Dealership - Alan Webb Chevrolet No warning lamps or messages showed prior to the failure. Just sudden lost of power while driving on the freeway.

- Seattle, WA, USA

The vehicle shake when accelerating, decelerating, stalls when taking off, the losses traction when it does take off, jerks the vehicle when shifting up or down sometimes causing loss of traction, especially on wet roads. Has been taken to the dealer several times, tsb has been performed only gives temporary fix. I cannot allow anyone to drive this vehicle because it randomly looses traction. The dealer, Mtn View Chevrolet, has duplicated the problem in the past and performed a tsb that was not a permanent repair. This has been an ongoing issue since 2019

My 2017 Chevy Silverado LT Z71 started shaking and jerking while I was traveling at 65 mph and almost caused an accident on I - 65 North. The engine light never came on until the truck lost acceleration after leaving the interstate and would not shift into other gears. I was able to get off the interstate at 30 mph while other vehicles are going past me 70 mph +. I stopped at a dealership and they checked the vehicle out and told me the transmission needs to be replaced at $6500 with only 79,000 miles on the vehicle. I investigated online and realized other owners have been complaining about 6 and 8 speed transmission shaking and shuddering/Jerking while driving. The dealerships have been flushing and changing the transmission fluid to stop the problem in 8 speed transmissions. The dealership the truck is at for repairs told me this. GM knows this is a major problem with their transmission, and it appears they refuse to recall this safety issue. Owners will pull out in traffic or driving on the interstate and the 6 to 8 speed transmissions will sporadically stop shifting thru gears and start shaking and jerking the vehicle causing acceleration issues. GM needs to fix this problem with their transmissions because it is a safety issue for the public. The dealership told me not to set the truck to the auto setting that operates the 2 wheel or 4 wheel drive setting, and to leave it at 2 wheel drive while driving because they said the vehicle will have transmission problems if you move the setting. GM and the dealership knows this is a major problem and so does every owner. Hopefully, this problem will be addressed.

Transmission and torque converter problem. Vehicle available. Transmission malfunctioning and sometimes violent vibration at highway speeds. Taken to dealership several times and charged a lot of money but dealer says even though they know they built them wrong they won-??t replace it. Vehicle inspected by dealership and confirmed. Class action lawsuit is still active on this 2017 model as faulty transmission

- Fort Myers , FL, USA

Bought new with only 48 miles in 2018. Within the first 10,000 miles started getting a Service 4WD message. Dealership could not find an issue and told me it was a miscommunication between the transmission and computer. The message has continued to come on for several years. I have contacted On Star to run a diagnostic on it when it comes on and everything shows to be okay with no codes showing up. Had a severe shudder in the front end at 75,000 miles which went away after servicing the transmission but the 4WD message still comes on consistently.

- Piney Flats, TN, USA

While driving the vehicle wont shift properly. As someone with a degree in automotive I checked the vehicle which has code P0741 in the TCM. I contacted GM regarding the problems with my vehicle and they agreed to pay a portion of the costs to repair if I had it diagnosed by a dealership. The dealer diagnosed it between them and GM they replaced the valve body. This did not fix the issue. The dealer found metal shavings in the transmission which it not a good thing. This transmission needs to be replaced. However, getting the dealer or GM to say or do this is not working. I am stuck with a vehicle that isn't functioning properly. I have talked with other dealerships and transmission repair shops which all agree that if metal was found the then the transmission needs replaced.

- West Sacramento , CA, USA

Transmission failure at 60,000 miles. This is unacceptable and is reported to be a huge problem with the transmission on these vehicles. GM should own up to this problem or be made to by the NTHSA. Replacement costs over $4K.
