The clutch torque converters wear out so fast and they wear out so close to the end of the vehicles warranty
- Clinton, NC, USA
I noticed several times it feels that it is not catching the gear and will suddenly lurch forward. I've taken it to the dealer and they said it is a transmission issue and no longer under warranty. Upon further research I've seen that there are many issues and complaints regarding this 2017 model year for this Chevrolet Silverado.

My vehicle was off for the normal day coming home from work. I turned my vehicle on to go to the store and noticed the check engine light was on, I then went to oreillys and got a free diagnostic check, came back with code U1501 lin bus 1. while driving to my home from oreillys, I made a slight turn to my driveway and my vehicle shut down and completely locked up. I put it back in park and started it up like nothing happened a second ago. I've read about this code and the make, model, year of this issue, it doesn't seem like I'm the only one with this problem. I previously owned a 2014 Chevy Silverado and it was more trips to the dealership to figure out what made my vehicle stall while driving it than actually given the time to enjoy the vehicle. Please don't make me consider switching to Ford.

Transmission made a loud whining sound and then gave out. Error codes P0700 and P0796

Transmission shudder.
- Moffit, ND, USA
My Silverado is exhibiting the same transmission issues described in many complaints here already, I.e., a slipping/shuddering feeling as it progresses through the gears and a frequent clunk/bang at times when it downshifts. It has become progressively worse with time. I am surprised there is not some sort of bulletin or recall for this issue considering it is described so exactly in so many different complaints. Obviously, this is a factory defect that Chevrolet should correct at its expense.

Transmission shutters when accelerating accelerating uphill. Accelerator difficult to press when accelerating and most times have to downshift two gears to get up to the desired speed and eliminate said shutter
- Kingston, NY, USA
The transmission on my 2017 has gone out. I am having to have it replaced and my truck is only 3 years old. From what I am read this has been an on going issue with the 2017 Chevrolet's. I am very dissatisfied with the whole situation and the fact that GM will do nothing to fix this.

Transmission shutter. Took to dealership twice and replaced transmission fluid and filter first time. No change. The second time could not find any codes but would not make any corrections.
- Manchester, TN, USA
Purchased my vehicle just a few months ago and had zero issues, other than pesky afm bull. Within the last month, transmission began shuddering and jerking as if slipping gears under normal driving conditions. Soon thereafter, a whining noise started that was more prevalent during gear change. Spoke to technicians at my local GM dealership service department and he informed me that this is an extremely common issue with this year model and transmission. According to this senior technician, they have found that a fluid swap can cure these issues because the what is called for from factory just doesn't cut the mustard. Checked the system, and to my astonishment, there are no recalls or service bulletins for this known issue. Take my truck in for services, hoping all I would need still is the fluid swap, and now the technicians are telling me I need to fork over 5K for a new new transmission because mine is shot. Even more to my amazement, I start looking around on this site and there have been a ton of similar complaints surrounding this year make and model tranamission, and yet, GM has done nothing to correct or prevent these problems from persisting.

Truck hesitates when accelerating, hard shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 1st almost feels like you've been rear-ended. Truck shakes and jerks when shifting gears, truck vibrates at low speeds. Been to the dealership multiple times with no success. They tell me they can't duplicate problem. Truck has 13,000 miles Chevy should man up and fix the problem. Very disappointed
