4 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 03/10/2020

1st to 2nd gear shifts are hesitant and rough, sometimes dangerous causing truck to jump forward. Usually in parking lots. If stopped on a downhill ; I take foot off brake then the truck will roll like all cars do, and then when I step on the accelerator, the truck engine will rev up as if in neutral then slam into gear causing me to nearly rear end the cars in front on multiple occasions.

5 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 11/01/2019

Transmission is constantly jerking and hard shifting. It also lags when trying to accelerate. Tried to get it looked at under warranty and was told "welcome to the future" by the dealership. They wouldn't even drive or look at it. Feels like I've been ripped off, why even offer warranties?.

6 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 10/13/2019

When coming to stop my truck regularly has very hard downshifting. Along with a very audible �clunk� from the rear end, I will experience a feeling that I can only deceive as being hit by another vehicle. This results in sometimes having to brake harder as you feel like your going to move forward rapidly. A very similar experience happen when pulling out slowly in low gears. These two combined can be extremely hazardous as well as just very obnoxious/annoying when driving in a yielding situation.

7 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 09/23/2019

Transmission is faulty, has been to the dealer where I purchased several times, they flushed the trans 2 or 3 times then finally rebuilt the transmission with around 60,000 miles. Now I'm at 70,000 miles and having transmission problems again. It surges between gears, sometimes feels like I've been rear ended and sometimes seems to skip a gear and be in neutral for a few seconds before clucking into gear.

Passenger air bag off light inoperable. Check 4 wheel drive warning comes on intermittently. Dealer charged $138. 00 but could not find any problems. This occurs when driving.

9 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 08/11/2019

2017 1500 Silverado, jerks, surges, during acceleration. Now and then I get a loud thud in the rear like I got rear-ended. When coming to a stop from 2nd to 1st.

10 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 08/02/2019

Driving from connecticut to south carolina my truck developed a bad vibration between 45mph to 70mph. The dealer says that the transmission needs to be flushed. This vehicle has 34k for miles. They claim that no damage is being done to the transmission. This I believe is a safety issue and should be recalled. The vehicle is still at the dealership and my family and I are stranded while they claim that gm needs reading before they can flush the transmission fluid.

11 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 08/01/2019

Transmission has stopped working properly.

12 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2019

When at highway speeds (anywhere between 40-75) there is a very noticeable shaking when engine is under light load (just keeping speed). I have taken in to chevy dealership and they changed the transmission fluid and that worked for a couple thousand miles. Not the "chevy shake" is back at full force. Upon calling chevy, they claim to know that their trucks do this, but say there is not a fix to solve the issue. They claim they have no clue where it's coming from, but should not be a safety hazard. My question is, if you do not know what it is, how can they say it's not a safety hazard. I am so afraid that my truck is going to break down and it's not even two years old. I have read the thousands of complaints online with people having the exact same issue, since the 2014 model. They have had enough time to figure this out and should be held accountable.

13 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 04/28/2019

At low speeds under braking when downshifting from gear 2 to 1, the shift is not smooth. There is a significantly loud clunk that you can feel and hear, and passenger safety is compromised due to a sudden lurch forward.

14 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 02/20/2019

Right rear wheel hub nut backed off damaging housing spindle threads and slightly bending the housing. Gm will not replace housing even though it appears that a crack is forming where it was stressed. There is a recall for this problem but my truck is not involved. Gm will not check the left side like the recall says should be done also. I believe that there is a crack starting to form and could be a problem while driving in the future.

15 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 05/01/2018

Transmission abruptly shifting. Feel like the truck is being hit by another vehicle. I don't know when it's gonna do it but when it does, its scary. The other day while trying to back up into my drive way, the would not move when I pushed on the pedal. Then on it's own, the truck burned rubber backwards when I took my foot off of the gas pedal. I almost drove into my garage! this truck is not safe and needs to be removed from service! this is an ongoing problem that you never know when it's going to happen during you drive.

Vehicle hesitation and surges in acceleration.

19 Power Train problem

Failure Date: 12/26/2017

Engine hesitation, or misfiring. Jerking, or transmission shuttering when engine is at low rpm and on incline. (I. E. When traveling about 45mph and start up a hill, the rpm's are about 1300, and the transmission doesn't gear down, so it starts shuttering until you give it more acceleration than usual. ) after dealing with this issue for nearly 8 months and 15k miles, I believe this safety issue should be recalled. Dealer originally acknowledge the problem but was unsure of the cause. After 5 repair attempts the dealer say they can't duplicate and the vehicle performs as designed.
