Truck transmission was good until about 2,000 miles. Truck has delays when putting in gear after it sits overnight. Truck has harsh low speed downshifts. Problems are real bad when vehicle is cold. When you come to a complete stop and let off the brake the truck will sometimes lunge forward. Took truck back to the dealer where i bought it and they said nothing was wrong so i made an appointment for a week later with…

A rough clunk noise occurs when trying to stop, and car actually revs to accelerate speed when applying breaking and trying to stop. (in . Motion) this is a dangerous issue. Transmission does not appear to smoothly enter into subsequent gears. A jerk occurs in between shifting of gears. (moving) i have been completely stopped on a flat street, and relax my foot off the break, and the car wants to leap jump forward.…

The pickup shakes at speeds typically between 30-45 and 55-75. It shakes hard enough and long enough at times where at higher speeds becomes dangerous because it compromises the steering where the truck can come off its line and become unstable. It will also shake randomly and for unknown periods of time. When it starts i have no control over it and no control over when it starts or stops. I have brought it into the…

6.2l engine had faulty injectors and had to be replaced. Gm said my truck had a warranty block so i had to contact the bbb and go to mediation to get injectors replaced. Now i'm noticing a shudder (vibration) while driving with a fluttering of the rpm's. All my research has led me to believe it is a faulty torque converter. My wife has a 2017 camaro that is having the same issue. Dealership stated that they are…

The truck has a hard time accelerating and randomly upshifts and downshifts. When coming to a stop it has a hard time downshifting which makes it hard to stop. When on the interstate in rush hour traffic it is very dangerous to drive because i have no idea if the truck will accelerate or not and since it has a hard time stopping i am afraid i am going to rear end someone. Another issue the truck has is with the four…

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…

They balanced & rotated the tires, saying the issue was fixed, i picked the vehicle back up on 12/4/17 but the issue was not fixed & an electrical issue had also occurred. I took the vehicle back on 12/7/18…

Unsafe characteristic!!!! Inadvertent hard shift between 1st and 2nd gear or when driving less than 10 mph. The severity of the shift has nearly caused multiple accidents due to unpredictability. When this happens it is a very startling event that can make you increase throtle press and accelerate the vehicle, oversteer in low speedturns, abruptly apply the brakes to keep from running into objects including people…

8 speed transmission shift very rough from 1-2 and 2-1 gears, frequently hesitates, makes clunking sound. Have taken it to gm dealer and am informed that yes, that's the way the 8 speeds are. This is a $50k + truck. This transmission issue causes and can cause hesitation when needing to accelerate, thus creating a safety hazard.

Transmission shifts hard and vehicle surges at low speed with accompaning "clunk". Problem occurs in both upshift and down shift. Dealer informs me that is a "learning" curve for vehicle to understand my driving habits. However i see on several automotive forums that this has been an issue for some time and has yet to be resolved.

Shortly after purchasing my truck, i began experiencing hard shifts, gear searching, clunking and hanging between gears. Occasionally the shift would be so hard it would feel as though the truck was struck from behind by another vehicle or object. Multiple trips to the dealer has resulted in numerous attempted fixes with no relief of the problem. Currently the truck is back at the dealership having the entire…
