2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 Complaints

MY FAMILY WAS STUCK IN TRAFFIC IN CHARLOTTE AT RUSH HOUR 8-18-18 WE HAD PUSH THE TRUCK ACROSS 4 LANES IT DIED IT STARTED 20 MINUITES LATER AND DONE IT AGAIN DOWN THE ROAD WE PUSHED AGAIN WAITED IT STARTED I DROVE IT HOME 2.5 HOURS WITH NO PROBLEM TOOK IT TO DEALER SHIP THEY SAID COMPUTER SHOWED NOTHING TODAY 7-19-19 IT DONE IT AGAIN AFTER SETTING IN TRAFFIC WE PUSHED OUT OF THE ROAD IT STARTED 20 MINUTES LATER SO THIS TIME I HAD IT TOWED I HAVE TO SMALL KIDS THIS IS NOT SAFE SO ITS AT THE DEALER NOW IT HAS 8000 MILES ON IT

WHEN TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS THE BRAKING SYSTEM FAILS. THE BRAKE PEDAL IS NOT RESPONSIVE. YOU MUST APPLY MAXIMUM FORCE TO TRY AND STOP THE VEHICLE. I WAS PARALLEL PARKING AND HIT A MAILBOX CAUSING DAMAGE TO MY REAR RIGHT FENDER BECAUSE THE TRUCK DID NOT STOP PROPERLY. I HAD THE TRUCK CHECKED AND THEY OLD ME IT WAS A FAULTY VACCUM PUMP. THIS SEEMS TO BE AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL TRUCK.

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD IN LOW GEARS (UPSHIFTING AND DOWNSHIFTING), LUNGING FORWARD AND A HARD KNOCK IN THE TRANSMISSION. CHEVROLET CANNOT FIX IT!

8 SPEED TRANSMISSION HARSH JERKS BETWEEN 1ST AND 2 GEARS AND 2ND AND 1ST GEARS TYPICALLY OCCURRING ON SLIGHT DOWNHILL GRADE HARSH JERK AND KNOCK/HAMMER NOISE COMMON TO OCCUR AFTER VEHICLE HAS BEEN SITTING AND IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC SUCH AS SCHOOL DROP OFF WITH CHILDREN AROUND AND RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC

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 TRANSMISSION REPLACED. THIS IS CAUSING A DEPRECIATION OF THE VALUE OF THE TRUCK AS WELL AS AN UNSAFE CONDITION WHILE DRIVING.

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 ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. THEY DID A "TIMING" TEST AND FELT THE DELAY AND DID 16NA364 UPDATE. IT SEEMED TO HELP FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND PROBLEM RETURNED. BOTH DEALERSHIPS ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT GM IS NOT PROVIDING A FIX. I NOW WARM THE TRUCK UP A FEW MINUTES BEFORE DRIVING TO HELP WITH DELAYED GEAR ENGAGEMENT. HARSH DOWNSHIFTS CONTINUE WITH THE LUNGING AND SLOW RESPONSE AT TIMES WHEN APPLYING GAS PETAL. YOU HAVE TO BE VERY CAREFUL WHEN DRIVING THIS TRUCK BECAUSE OF THE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. THERE ARE MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THIS NOT TO BE A MAJOR PROBLEM. THIS VEHICLE STICKER PRICE WAS $64,000 DOLLARS. I WISH I HAD MY OLD TRUCK BACK BECAUSE IT WAS RELIABLE AND NOT POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. GENERAL MOTORS NEED FIX THIS PROBLEM OR AT LEAST GIVE AN FREE EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE DEALERS WILL FIX THE TRANSMISSION IF GM WILL TELL THEM HOW.

THE REAR SEAT IN THE CREW CAB VERSION SEATS 3 ACROSS BUT HAS ONE 2 HEAD RESTS. THE 2 HEAD RESTS THAT ARE THERE, ARE ENTIRELY TOO SHORT TO PROVIDE ANY PROTECTION. SINCE THIS IS A CREW CAB WITH SEATING FOR 3 IN THE REAR, THERE SHOULD BE PROPER HEAD PROTECTION FOR EACH PASSENGER. THE TOP OF THE REAR HEAD REST IS ONLY 28" FROM THE SEAT BOTTOM. WAY TOO SHORT FOR MOST PASSENGERS.

THE BACK MIDDLE PASSENGER SEAT BELT PLASTIC DOES STAY IN THE UPPER SHOULDER AREA CAUSING THE SEAT BELT TO GO TO THE SIDE AND UNABLE TO ADJUST. OTHER AC HAS A LEAK I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO PAY OUT OF POCKET FOR A TRUCK OF THE AGE OF 2 YEARS I SEE OTHER GOT REPAIR BUT MINE IS NOT ON A LIST OF REPAIRS I CAN NOT AFFORD THIS EXPENSIVE.

TRAVELING APPROX 30MPH, ON A CITY STREET, ANOTHER VEHICLE TURNED LEFT IN FRONT OF ME, I DID NOT EVEN HAVE TIME TO HIT THE BRAKES. BOTH THE FRONT DRIVER AND PASSENGER AIRBAG DEPLOYED BUT THE DRIVER SEATBELT DID NOT LOCK UP. I CAME COMPLETELY OUT OF THE DRIVERS SEAT, MY CHEST HIT THE AIRBAG AND MY LOWER ABDOMEN AND UPPER THIGHS WERE BRUISED BADLY FROM HITTING THE STEERING WHEEL. I ALSO HAD NECK PAIN FOR 2 DAYS AFTERWARD. I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT AND THAT SEATBELT LOCKED, THE PASSENGER WAS NOT INJURED AND ONLY A LITTLE SORE IN THE NECK AND BACK THE NEXT DAY.

I HAD A DEER RUN INTO THE SIDE OF MY 2017 SILVERADO AND AIRBAG DEPLOYED AFTER AUTOBODY REPLACED AND FIX TRUCK THE TRUCK THE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED AGAIN WHILE TRUCK WAS BEING PROGRAMMED GM CLAIMS THERE INVESTIGATION COMES BACK THERE NOT AT FAULT BUT REFUSES TO RELEASE ANY DOCUMENTATION TO US MAKING US THINK THERE IS MUCH MORE THERE INVESTIGATION IS HIDING AND THEY DONT WANT TO BECOME LIABLE
