When in motion harsh shifting between gears, sometimes so violent it feels like another car hit me. When accelerating the transmission seems to search for gears, and is sluggish for a high horsepower vehicle. Concerning when trying to accelerate in traffic, transmission hesitates and does not immediately apply power. Had transmission serviced 5 months ago due to shudder and shake between 20-35mph. Transmission fluid…

Bad lifter causes engine failure at 100,006 miles. Engine had to be replaced. Transmission has extremely hard shifts from park to reverse, and slips between 5th and 6th. Doesn't throw any codes so dealer says it's fine.but it's obviously ruining itself. Reading all these transmissions complaints i can't believe it's not recalled

The truck and transmission shift very hard, slip or can't find its home. The problem is the worst between park and reverse, and 1st and 2nd gear around 20mph. I have taken it in multiple times times and told everything is operating to spec. One time i was told they were waiting for guidance from gm, but then forgot about that, and said everything is fine.

Despite taking it a chevy dealership for 3 years for maintenance, we were never told their was a known issue.

When placing the truck in reverse or drive the transmission does not immediately engage. I purchased this truck new and have had two replacement transmissions for this and other issues. Dealer service department said that general motors calls this delayed engagement. Dealer also stated that there is a bulletin stating they will no longer replace transmissions for delayed engagement. This is unsafe when the vehicle…

While driving on the expressway, the drive shaft broke off. This caused the vehicle to lose control. Luckily, the vehicle was able to make it to the side shoulder without causing an accident. The dealership replaced the drive shaft and rear differential, but no one (even when i contacted gm priority care) could inform me why this happened. With me having two small kids, i am still concerned that this could happen…
