Code P0300 and P050D keep on being thrown. Vehicle started having these issues back when I had 30K miles and now at 45K, I am getting them more often. The downshifts because of this are bad, the vehicle jerks when it downshifts. Feels like someone is rear-ending you. Vehicle sometimes shakes and sounds like its misfiring. I can sometimes turn off the vehicle and turn back on and it will work fine like nothing is wrong. Chevy wants $150 to diagnose and about $12000 to replace injectors since they are not covered under their bumper to bumper or powertrain warranty. That's pretty bad that I would have to do a major repair on a vehicle that is not that old and has to come out of my pocket.

Truck went into reduced engine power with check engine light and traction control light illuminated on the instrument cluster. Subsequent restarts of the truck resulted in the code clearing itself and normal start up. Now it is having trouble starting up on a cold start, especially with remote start.

Radiator failed at 58K miles in December 2019. Dealer indicated that the powertrain warranty did not cover the costs to repair. Quoted cost was $3800. Repaired at independent shop for $2900. Now, March 2021, the radiator has failed again at 78K miles. Normal city driving. No off-roading or racing. This failure causes oil to mix with coolant. Many mechanic labor hours required as both cooling and oil systems need to be thoroughly flushed to remove residual coolant and oil.

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 truck shifts so hard it wakes up my baby in the back seat and when U are really going slow it clunks hard and every Chevy dealer says it's normal it's not normal when it's hitting that hard it's waking my baby. My truck has also been to the dealer 10 plus times already and only owned a little over a year

The vehicle throws the check engine light randomly (avg once every 2 months). It occurs around 65 mph (interstate) which, leads me to believe it is a misfire on one of the cylinders. I have had it to the dealership and a diagnostic complete. Spark plugs were changed and they said it fixed the issue; yet it has not fixed the issue. I notice no power loss when it comes on (blinks). This light blinks roughly 30-45 seconds and goes off.

While driving at low speeds the power to the shuts off and seconds later turns back on. This happened multiple times while in slow traffic and turing into a parking lot. When the power shuts off I lost the ability to steer and brake.

When driving my 2017 Chevy Silverado my steering wheel locks up when turning bringing my truck to an abrupt stop, while the steering wheel locks all the electrical and lights on the inside of the truck shut off and on and my stabilitrak message pops on my screen followed by service trailer brake. It started happening just here and there about a month ago but now it is happening more often. It seems to happen more when gas is pass half a tank. I'm really nervous to drive my truck this is getting dangerous! going to have to take it into the dealership asap.

I receive many error lights every time I drive my 2017 Silverado. Lights include stabilitrack and traction control disabled, trailer brake systems service, and power steering diminished. The safety complaint is due to the power steering actually shutting down and a sharp loss in engine power and hard shifting. On many occasions I have had to leave the road until the problem went away. I have gone into quirk Chevrolet on many occasions but they have not been able to find the problem. I have recently contacted Chevrolet directly and they have set up a case and will keep open until this is fixed.

From purchasing this vehicle the engine has run rough. I've taken it to the dealer many times; now way beyond the warranty. Recently they couldn't find anything so the catalytic converter was suggested to change. No fix to this issue as it has continued and now they are telling me well just change the transmission!!

Chevy admits to a known issue with torque converter shudder which happens between 25-65mph when accelerating.
- Kennett Square, PA, USA
When shifting from P to D vehicle refuses to move forward even after lightly pressing the accelerator then letting off the gas pedal there is hesitation while engine revs before the vehicle suddenly & unexpectedly lurches forward. When slowing down or stopping a loud clunk can be heard and felt comparable to being rear ended by another driver. This has been an ongoing issue since vehicle was purchased new. A certified GM dealership has investigated multiple complaints without a resolution to this safety concern.
