2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2017 HAS GONE OUT. I AM HAVING TO HAVE IT REPLACED AND MY TRUCK IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD. FROM WHAT I AM READ THIS HAS BEEN AN ON GOING ISSUE WITH THE 2017 CHEVROLET'S. I AM VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE WHOLE SITUATION AND THE FACT THAT GM WILL DO NOTHING TO FIX THIS.

WHILE MAKING LOW SPEED TURNS THE POWER ASSIST FAILS, MOMENTARILY RESULTING IN EXTREME DIFFICULTY TURNING/MANEUVERING. THIS HAPPENS NO MATTER WHAT TYPE OF ROAD SURFACE IS BEING DRIVEN ON (PAVED, UNPAVED) AND DOES NOT HAPPEN ALL THE TIME RESULTING IN SITUATIONS WHERE I HAVE MOMENTARY LOSS OF CONTROL.

TRANSMISSION SHUTTER. TOOK TO DEALERSHIP TWICE AND REPLACED TRANSMISSION FLUID AND FILTER FIRST TIME. NO CHANGE. THE SECOND TIME COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES BUT WOULD NOT MAKE ANY CORRECTIONS.

WHILE GOING THROUGH A DRIVE THROUGH RESTAURANT, AFTER I ORDERED MY FOOD AND LET MY FOOT OFF MY BRAKE TO ADVANCE FORWARD AND STOP AT THE WINDOW TO PAY ABOUT 20-30 FEET AHEAD, I COULD NOT BRAKE IN TIME TO STOP AT THE WINDOW. MY BRAKE PEDAL WAS VERY HARD TO PUSH AND EVEN THOUGH I WAS PUSHING VERY HARD IT BARELY STOPPED, EVEN THOUGH I WAS GOING LESS THAN ONE MPH. THIS WAS VERY SCARY AS NONE OF MY WARNING LIGHTS WERE NOTING ERRORS AND IT HAPPENED OUT OF THE BLUE. I ONLY LIVE TWO MILES AWAY SO I DROVE HOME VERY SLOW AND I DIDN'T NOTICE THE SAME ISSUE ON THE DRIVE HOME. HOWEVER, WHEN I PULLED MY TRUCK INTO THE GARAGE, IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN AND I COULD HEAR THE BREAKS DOING SOMETHING WEIRD. I'M TAKING IT TO THE SHOP TODAY TO GET FIXED TOMORROW WHEN THE SHOP OPENS. I DID RECEIVE TWO WARNING MESSAGES VIA TEXT WHEN I GOT HOME. DIAGNOSTIC ALERT: SERVICE THE STABILITRAK STABILITY CONTROL SYSTEM IN YOUR 2017 SILVERADO WITHIN 7 DAYS. TXT STOP TO CANCEL. DIAGNOSTIC ALERT: SERVICE THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM IN YOUR 2017 SILVERADO WITHIN 7 DAYS. TXT STOP TO CANCEL. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE ARTICLES I READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE MAKE IT SOUND LIKE WARNING LIGHTS GO OFF TO LET YOU KNOW SOMETHING IS WRONG AND THE ARTICLES SAY IT'S OK TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE SAFETY FEATURES DISENGAGE, HOWEVER, MY FEATURES DID NOT DISENGAGE WITHOUT WARNING AND I'M GLAD A CAR OR PERSON WAS NOT IN FRONT OF ME AT THE TIME IT HAPPENED OR I WOULD HAVE HIT THEM. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING AND NEEDS ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE DIES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN ABNORMAL SOUND COMING FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE DRIVING UP AN INCLINE AT SLOW SPEEDS. THERE WAS NO WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO COULTER BUICK GMC TEMPE (7780 S AUTOPLEX LOOP, TEMPE, AZ 85284) WHERE THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED OF THE ISSUE AND A FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE WAS SENT OUT TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE. THE FACTORY REPRESENTATIVE THEN INFORMED HIM THAT THERE WERE NO FOUND ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT THEN TOOK THE VEHICLE TO JERRY SEINER CHEVROLET (1990 N PINAL AVE, CASA GRANDE, AZ 85122) WHERE THE CONTACT POINTED OUT THAT THERE WAS WEARING ON THE FRONT TWO TIRES THAT HE BELIEVED WAS RELATED TO THE SUSPENSION. THE VEHICLE REMAINED IN THE POSSESSION OF THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT YET REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 1,700.

WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKES AT LOW SPEEDS SUCH AS IN A DRIVE THRU OR PARKING LOT, THERE IS A PRESSURE LOSS IN THE BRAKES. THIS REQUIRES SIGNIFICANTLY INCREASED BRAKING PRESSURE TO STOP. FAILURES ARE ASSOCIATED WITH A TICKING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT OR VIBRATION IN THE PEDALS.

I RECEIVE MANY ERROR LIGHTS EVERY TIME I DRIVE MY 2017 SILVERADO. LIGHTS INCLUDE STABILITRACK AND TRACTION CONTROL DISABLED, TRAILER BRAKE SYSTEMS SERVICE, AND POWER STEERING DIMINISHED. THE SAFETY COMPLAINT IS DUE TO THE POWER STEERING ACTUALLY SHUTTING DOWN AND A SHARP LOSS IN ENGINE POWER AND HARD SHIFTING. ON MANY OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD TO LEAVE THE ROAD UNTIL THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY. I HAVE GONE INTO QUIRK CHEVROLET ON MANY OCCASIONS BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I HAVE RECENTLY CONTACTED CHEVROLET DIRECTLY AND THEY HAVE SET UP A CASE AND WILL KEEP OPEN UNTIL THIS IS FIXED.

TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS WITH NO WARNING WHEN THE VEHICLE'S STEERING WHEEL WAS TURNED TO THE LEFT, WHILE IN MOTION, WOULD STOP DURING THE TURN AND JERK BACK THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND POWER TO THE VEHICLE WOULD BE LOST FOR A SECOND THEN HAVE POWER RESTORED. THE FIRST TIME I WAS BACKING UP AND HAD TO TURN THE STEERING WHEEL LEFT TO AVOID HITTING AN OBJECT, AT THIS POINT THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND JERKED BACK IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION AND THE HEADLIGHTS FLICKERED, RADIO SCREEN WENT BLANK, AND THE CLIMATE CONTROL LIGHTS WENT OUT BUT ALL POWER CAME BACK ON AFTER A SECOND. THE VEHICLE DID THE SAME SIX TIMES WHILE TRYING TO BACK UP. I HAVE A VIDEO AFTER I BACKED UP AND PARKED AND THE ISSUE REPEATED ITSELF SO I COULD GET A VIDEO TO SHOW FOR A REPAIR. THE SECOND OCCASION WAS WHEN I WAS ON A 25 MPH TWO LANE ROAD. I WAS TURNING LEFT ONTO ANOTHER ROAD AND AFTER COMING TO A STOP TO LET A CAR GO BY I HIT THE ACCELERATOR TO GET THE VEHICLE TO MOVE AND THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN BUT THIS TIME THE ENGINE CUT OUT, DOOR LOCKS CYCLED, AND LOST ALL POWER TO THE VEHICLE. WHEN I LOST POWER MY VEHICLE WAS HALF WAY INTO THE ON-COMING LANE OF THE ROAD I WAS TURNING OFF OF. VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALER NOW AT AN ATTEMPT TO FIX THE ISSUE, THE DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN THE VIDEO I HAVE AND THE MECHANIC COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM BUT FOUND ISSUES WITH THE ELECTRIC STEERING WHILE DOING TEST DRIVES. AS OF NOW I'M NOT AWARE OF THE ISSUES THAT WERE FOUND. MECHANIC TOLD SERVICE SUPERVISOR THAT THE ELECTRIC STEERING NEEDED TO BE UPDATED IN THE COMPUTER TO SMOOTH OUT THE ISSUES. SINCE THE ORIGINAL ISSUE COULD NOT BE REPLICATED, NOT SURE IF THIS WILL BE THE FIX. IF VIDEO EVIDENCE IS NEEDED PLEASE EMAIL ME AND I WILL SEND VIDEO.

PURCHASED MY VEHICLE JUST A FEW MONTHS AGO AND HAD ZERO ISSUES, OTHER THAN PESKY AFM BULL. WITHIN THE LAST MONTH, TRANSMISSION BEGAN SHUDDERING AND JERKING AS IF SLIPPING GEARS UNDER NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. SOON THEREAFTER, A WHINING NOISE STARTED THAT WAS MORE PREVALENT DURING GEAR CHANGE. SPOKE TO TECHNICIANS AT MY LOCAL GM DEALERSHIP SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND HE INFORMED ME THAT THIS IS AN EXTREMELY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL AND TRANSMISSION. ACCORDING TO THIS SENIOR TECHNICIAN, THEY HAVE FOUND THAT A FLUID SWAP CAN CURE THESE ISSUES BECAUSE THE WHAT IS CALLED FOR FROM FACTORY JUST DOESN'T CUT THE MUSTARD. CHECKED THE SYSTEM, AND TO MY ASTONISHMENT, THERE ARE NO RECALLS OR SERVICE BULLETINS FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE. TAKE MY TRUCK IN FOR SERVICES, HOPING ALL I WOULD NEED STILL IS THE FLUID SWAP, AND NOW THE TECHNICIANS ARE TELLING ME I NEED TO FORK OVER 5K FOR A NEW NEW TRANSMISSION BECAUSE MINE IS SHOT. EVEN MORE TO MY AMAZEMENT, I START LOOKING AROUND ON THIS SITE AND THERE HAVE BEEN A TON OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS SURROUNDING THIS YEAR MAKE AND MODEL TRANAMISSION, AND YET, GM HAS DONE NOTHING TO CORRECT OR PREVENT THESE PROBLEMS FROM PERSISTING.

THE TRUCK HAS A TRANSMISSION ISSUE THAT CAUSES THE TRANSMISSION TO POP AND JOLT BETWEEN SOME OF THE LOWER, IN -CITY GEARS. IT PUTS A STRAIN ON THE POWERTRAIN AND CAUSES THE TRUCK TO JERK AND DELAY FOR A MINUTE.
