I purchased my truck (15 GMC sierra z71 4x4) with around 122,000 miles on it. I would be owner #2. Truck ran great. Around 150,000 miles I noticed my truck's transmission start to jerk while accelerating from gear to gear. No engine light ever appeared. Problem stopped. A few days later while dropping my daughter off at school, my truck wouldn't go passed 35 mph. I had to put the shifter in manual and shift to third gear. Other gears would just rev the rpm's to 4 or 5. Since I didn't want to put my family, me and others on the road at risk. I parked my truck and started driving my other vehicle. A few months went by, and my other vehicle had a flat tire, I had to drive my truck to work. On the way home from work, my truck started acting up again, jerking while accelerating. Speedometer would go up however truck didn't move. I had to pull over quickly so I wouldn't be broken down in the traffic lane. I turned the ignition off and waited five minutes and started the truck up. I was able to make it home. At this time the engine soon light came on. I ran my scanner on my truck and code p0700 tcm was the only code showing. I had a GMC dealer look at my truck and stated I would need a new transmission. I have done many months if not almost close to a year of research with results showing that transmission problems just what I was experiencing are a common problem with 2014-2019 chevy and GMC / silverado pickups with transmission 6l80. I dropped my truck off at another transmission shop just yesterday 3/3/24 and the results today were I need a new transmission. Torque converter issues. The shop stated that they repair / rebuild almost three chevy / GMC trucks like my truck a week with the same transmission problem. I still owe on my truck and shouldn't have to pay almost 6k for a transmission that is known to be an issue from the start of factory build. I own many older model gm / chevy vehicles and only had one other issue with one which also had a known recall issue.

First feeling was, I was driving in a parking lot going maybe 5 miles an hour and I felt a vibration in the brake pedal. Pulled onto the main road and approached a stop light when the truck stopped a little hard as I was depressing the brake pedal. As I started pressing on the gas when the light turned green, I was traveling around 35 mph or so, when the truck came to a complete stop in which myself & passenger were slightly thrown forward due to the abrupt stop for no apparent reason. The vehicle in back of me nearly rear ended me due to the abrupt stop the truck did. I immediately contacted the dealer, in which after several days in the shop, the dealer told me that GMC knew about this particular issue but has not issued a recall. The dealer was instructed to replace the transmission control module, due to a malfunction in the tcm that apparently was trying to shut the truck down completely. Therefore causing the truck to stop abruptly with no warning.

Transmission delay from park to drive. As transmission moves into drive the truck jerks forward violently. Park to reverse did not seem to be a problem. Dealer worked on the truck for approximately 8 hours, flushed transmission, and performed oil change, did not notice any metal in the transmission fluid and sought an update for the tcm (was up-to-date); however, a small amount of water was seen in the oil pan. Dealer performed a test drive and the truck appeared to be back in working condition. Owner attempted to drive the truck out of the dealer lot but the transmission would not engage.
