When slowing down, the vehicle has a hard downshift. Usually it would be described as not being smooth. Today, while traveling about 40 mph with the foot off the accelerator, it downshifted so hard it felt like I was rear ended by another vehicle.

Automatic transmission and brake pressure problems. The automation transmission jerks when accelerating from zero miles per hour or at low speeds. It can dramatically increase the rate of an incident due to the powerful movement that the movement does to the whole truck. You can then feel the whole truck sway back and fourth due to the impact. This "jerking" from the start can increase the risk of hitting anything in front of you because of it not being controlled properly when moving in close proximity areas such as high volume traffic areas, high counts of pedestrians walking across the street, parallel parking, and parking close to another car in front of you or any other type of object in front of you. The brake applications take an extreme amount of pressure to stop the vehicle at all given times. My truck is brand new and purchased on 9/18/2019.

I originally bought a new 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 ld on 06/08/2019, I really liked the truck and its many features. After several weeks I noticed the whole underside frame and driveline components were rusted and corroded. I brought it back to my dealer and they immediately located a replacement vehicle for me. I picked up the 2nd new truck on 07/10/2019. This truck has the same defects as the first vehicle. Chevrolet has an issue with this model truck. I spoke to GM and they didn't seem to care blaming the dealer for not inspecting truck properly. I am very disappointed and unsure where to turn next, can you help me?

On 6/26/2019 while driving to work on hwy 287 while in motion my truck engine turned off on my 2019 Chevrolet Silverado Texas edition 2.7 L color silver and I was almost rear ended and I immediately called smicklas Chevrolet in Oklahoma city where I purchased the truck and brought the truck to vandergriff Chevrolet in arlington, tx to be looked at and serviced. This is the second truck that I purchased that has done this to me the first one was a white truck 2019 Chevrolet Silverado Texas edition 2.7 L that I didn't have for 24 hours. The dealership diagnosed it as a cam shaft sensor problem that was a manufacturer defect and I'm really dissatisfied with Chevrolet as a company to keep selling a defective product. Knowing it can cause death or a accident

Hard shifts. It felt like someone hit me. The truck slams into gears as you are driving. Also, after doing a 3 point turn. There was an approxamententaly 3 second lag before going into gear. It hit so hard that the truck shook. It felt like a collision. It has stumbled several times and made me doubt my ability to get out of the way of traffic.
