Torque converter clutch suffered failure while driving, much noise and default to �safe mode� decreasing truck performance. Truck just reached 80k miles, less than five years old. The fix is to replace/rebuild transmission. Repair is stating that they are upgrading various parts within the transmission to prevent issue in the future. To me, this acknowledges a flaw in the design/construction of part. Recall should be issued to address known issues due to poor design or construction.

When I started to pull off from a red light driving the vehicle around 30-35 mph the tachometer starts jumping 150 to 200 rpms and a rattle starts coming from under the truck. I believe it is the torque converter starting to come apart. I've talked to several mechanic shops and they stated this was a common issue with these trucks. This truck has roughly 70k miles on it. Just as the warranty went out of course. When this started occurring I was starting to move at a red light when it changed to green on city street.

I bought a brand new 2016 silverado in 2016 and have put 72000 (highway) miles on it. Took it in to my local chevy dealership because of a transmission shudder and hesitating while accelerating and whine right before shifting to the next gear. Torque converter is failing sending metal shavings through my transmission and destroying it. A bill of greater than 5500 for this transmission is absurd but not as crazy as a 3 year old transmission failing on you.

The first set of brake pads were gm replacement, they did not stop the truck as well as the original. So I replaced the pads with raybestos brake pads, still not satisfied with the stopping distance. Again I went with napa ceramic pads they caused the breaks to squeal when the brakes were applied. Now my mechanic has replaced them with o relly name pads and the stopping distance is still increasing. The other problem was around 58,000 miles my truck began shifting hard and jerking. When I took it to deacon jones Chevrolet in smithfield nc, they replaced the torque converter at no charge. Now at 63,000 miles its doing the same thing.

Checking with several mechanics in the area and on line both incidences seems to be a reoccurring problem for people who own trucks of this period. Please check into this.

Transmission shudder occurred at highway speeds in September 2017. Gm technicians said they could not find it. Shudder spread to all speeds - especially at low speeds going uphill. Truck would lurch forward from gear to gear and generally run with a constant vibration. In December 2017 gm technician replicated the problem and diagnosed it as a malfunctioning torque converter. I am now waiting for the new parts to see if the problem is fixed. The truck had no transmission shudder problems for the 1st 12 months I owned it.

Ever since I purchased my truck in early 2017, the 8 speed automatic transmission shift from 1st to 2nd gear at low speeds has been extremely hard. It changes so hard, it feels like someone struck my truck from behind, and shakes the entire vehicle. This hard shift will take place on an upshift and downshift. On the downshift, my truck will lerch forward, concerning me that I may strike another vehicle unintentionally. I have taken the vehicle to the dealership regarding the problem on at least 5 different occasions. The last occasion, the chief mechanic called me and said it is a known problem, and Chevrolet has no intention of fixing it. He explained it involved the torque converter, and Chevrolet has moved on from that transmission. He also stated that my transmission should not be damaged from the shift. One service rep. Stated to me that my warranty is good for 100,000 miles, so don't worry. How can I drive a vehicle, when passengers become frightened from the hard shift. Most recently it has started to shudder through the first few gears and is extremely bothersome to drive. The dealership has made it clear that Chevrolet has no intention on fixing the "known" problem, which is dangerous. I have service records upon request.

Steady driving between 35 and 65 mph, the truck shudders and the rpm tach needle jumps. It does not do it while shifting but when running at a steady speed. My 4th time at the dealership and they are only focused on the vibration of the truck and are now replacing the third tire. I agree the vibration is bad but the shuddering is ridiculous. There is a technical bulletin for the silverado with the 6. 2 transmission with the exact same issues. I called the service tech who has my truck and he said "your truck doesn't have that transmission. " I said "I realize that rich. . . However it is the same issue. " he said as soon as they get the new tire in they are going to test drive it some more. Did I mention they have had it five days this time and they still don't have a tire. Also. . .
