2017 SILVERADO PAINT CHIPPING REALLY EASY AROUND WHEEL WELLS. I HAVE 8000 MILES ON THE TRUCK AND PROBABLY HAVE AROUND 50 OR MORE CHIPS DOWN TO THE PRIMER. CONTACTED CHEVROLET THEY WILL NOT WARRANTY PAINT CHIPS. I HAVE OWNED A 1999, 2007 AND 2013 CHEVROLET SILVERADO AND NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. I HAVE ALSO TAKEN NOTICE TO OTHER TRUCKS YEARS 2014 TO 2018 HAVING SAME ISSUES SOME HAVE NO PAINT LEFT AT ALL VEHICLE MAYBE GET DRIVEN ON GRAVEL ABOUT 500 MILES A YEAR REALLY DISAPPOINTED IN THE PAINT QUALITY.

PURCHASED MY 17 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 ON 11/28/17 AND RETURNED IT TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 12/1/17. THIS WAS DUE TO A SEVERE SHUDDERING & SHIFTING IN THE TRANSMISSION & SEVERE SHAKE IN THE FRONT END AT 70-90MPH. 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 WITH THE SAME COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION & SHAKING IN THE FRONT END, AS WELL AS THE ELECTRICAL ISSUE. THE PROBLEM ELECTRICALLY WAS WHILE SITTING AT A STOPLIGHT THE BRIGHT LIGHTS FLASHED & THE RADIO/NAVIGATION SCREEN WENT BLANK. THE DEALERSHIP CALLED ME ON 12/8/17, TOLD ME THEY HAD BEEN UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE ISSUES, FINDING NOTHING WRONG. I LEFT IT OVER THE WEEKEND, WENT IN MONDAY MORNING & SPOKE TO THE SERVICE MANAGER DIRECTLY. HE TOLD ME HE HAD PURCHASED THE SAME VEHICLE WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION ISSUES. SAID THERE WAS A POSSIBLE FIX BY EXCHANGING THE TRANSMISSION FLUID & THEY WOULD USE A NEW MACHINE PICO TO CHECK IT OUT. THEY HAD TO REPLACE THE TORQUE CONVERTER DUE TO MALFUNCTIONING & PERFORM A PROGRAMMING MODULE UPDATE ON RADIO, I PICKED IT UP ON 12/22/17, ISSUE WITH THE TRANSMISSION WAS STILL NOT RESOLVED. I TOOK IT TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP FOR TRANSMISSION SHUDDER, SHIFT & SHAKE ISSUE MOST NOTICEABLE AT 70-90MPH, & RADIO ISSUE. THEY WERE ADVISED TO PERFORM A MODULE UPDATE ON THE TRANSMISSION & GIVEN 2 OPTIONS ON THE RADIO, THEY CHOSE TO REPLACE THE SCREEN. I TOOK IT BACK TO THAT SAME DEALERSHIP, MODULE UPDATE MADE TRANSMISSION/FRONT END ISSUE WORSE, ESPECIALLY COMING OUT OF A CURVE. THEY'VE REPLACED MY 2 BACK TIRES SAID THEY WERE BAD & SHOULD FIX THE SHAKING ISSUE IN THE FRONT END. UNABLE TO DUPLICATE TRANSMISSION ISSUES THUS THEY CANNOT REPAIR IT. OWNERS WITH THE SAME ISSUES ARE BEING TOLD GM KNOWS BUT CAN'T FIX TRANSMISSION ISSUE.

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 AND DIZZYNESS FROM YOUR HEAD STRIKING THE HEADREST. EACH MORNING WHEN I LEAVE FOR WORK I HAVE TO MAKE A U-TURN. I NEVER KNOW WHEN OR HOW HARD THE TRANSMISSION WILL KICK. I'VE ALMOST RAN INTO A SIGN/POLE IF I HADN'T QUICKLY STEERED AWAY FROM IT. WHEN LOOKING FOR A PARKING PLACE WITHIN A PARKING LOT, THE TRUCK WILL SOMETIME HARD SHIFT IN AND OUT OF GEAR. I DON'T FEEL SAFE OR CONFIDENT IN THIS TRUCK. I'M SCARED TO LET MY WIFE DRIVE IT IN THIS CONDITION. IWAS TOLD BY LOCAL CHEVY SERVICE DEPT THAT IS IN A NORMAL CHARATARISTIC OF THE TRANSMISSION. THAT GM IS AWARE BUT WILL NOT CORRECT THE ISSUE. THIS IS MY 5TH CHEVY VEHICLE AND MY 3RD TRUCK. NONE OF THE OTHERS HAD THIS ISSUE. PLEASE ADVISE...

WHEN VARIABLE TIMING OF VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN TWO CYLINDERS, SWITCHING TRUCK FROM V6 TO V4 WITH RPM'S AT OR BELOW 1,500K, THE TRUCK BEGINS TO MISS/SHUTTER. THIS OCCURS AND ON ROAD TYPE, ANY WEATHER CONDITION. AT TIMES THE VIBRATIONS OF THIS MISS/SHUTTER CAN BE A BIT VIOLENT. IF FURTHER ACCERATE TO FORCE THE TRUCK BACK INTO V6 MODE, THE ISSUE RESOLVES ITSELF BUT AS SOON AS THE TRUCK SWITCHES BACK TO V4 MODE, THE PROBLEMS BEGINS AGAIN IMMEDIATELY. I HAVE HAD THE TRUCK AT DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT 5 TIMES WITH NO RESOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. INSTEAD, THE TECHNICIANS CONTINUE TO PERFORM UNRELATED WORK ITEMS THAT DO NOT ALLEVIATE THE REAL ISSUE. UPON MY LAST SERVICE FOR THE ISSUE I WAS INFORMED THAT "GM DOESN'T CURRENTLY HAVE A SOLUTION FOR THE PROBLEM" AND THAT ALL OF THE SERVICE WORK THAT THE TECHNICIANS CONTINUE TO PERFORM IS "NOTHING MORE THAN A WAY TO TRY TO MASK THE SYMPTOMS SO THAT YOU DON'T NOTICE IT." UPON RESEARCHING, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE HAS ARISEN IN MULTIPLE GM TRUCKS. THE LONG TERM AFFECTS, WHICH ARE UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME, ARE A CONCERNING.

ELECTRONIC POWER STEERING SUDDENLY AND WITHOUT WARNING SHUT OFF AND I WAS UNABLE TO STEER RESULTING IN A VEHICLE COLLISION AND INJURIES REQUIRING SURGERY. THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION WHEN THE EPS SHUT OFF.

TRUCK EXHIBITS A ROUGH IDLE AFTER TRUCK IS DRIVEN AND WARM. IDLE CAUSES TEH TRUCK TO SHAKE AND FEELS LIKE IT WILL DIE AT STOPS. RPM DROPS BELOW 300 RPM THEN GOES BACK TO 490 RPM. IN ADDITION THE TRUCK WILL START TO SHAKE AND VIBRATE AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS OF 75-80 MPH. GMC SERVICE PERFORMED TSB CHANGING OUR ENGINE MOUNTS BUT THAT HAS NOT FIXED THE ISSUE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE ON SILVERADOS AND NO FIX IN SITE. CONCERNED WITH SEAT VIBRATION THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE DUE TO POTENTIAL DRIVE TRAIN PART FAILURE.

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.
