transmission shudder after dealer repair of transmission temperature sensor DTC P0711 returned car to dealer and they flushed transmission but shudder still exists shudder at part throttle settings when depressing throttle
My 2015 Silverado High Country shakes at highway speeds. The dealer ship where I bought the truck keep telling me there is nothing wrong with the truck despite MULTIPLE road force balancing.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact stated while driving approximately 10 mph at a higher altitude, the RPM increased to between 4,000-5000 RPMs. The gear shifter was shifted into neutral and the RPM-??s decreased. The vehicle was taken to an unknown local dealer where the contact was informed that there was a failure due to the high altitude. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000. The VIN was not available.
Truck has 130k miles. Never used for towing or rough driving. Transmission is going bad. Reached out to GM and was told it-??s our problem. We paid 43,000 for this vehicle and transmission issues already. We have a 1997 Chevy Silverado as well. With 321,000 miles on it and just had to replace the transmission. Engine is still running strong. For a vehicle to cost as much as our 2015 you would think the quality would better.
My truck shakes frequently going down the road at certain speeds. I've had it for around 6 years now and I can't pinpoint exactly when it started. I've had the truck in for maintenance/service at the dealership as well as other auto shops trying to diagnose the problem. I've had new tries, new brakes, countless tire rotations, wheel balancing etc you name it. And the problem persists. Recently after hearing about the "Chevy Shake" I've come to realize that my problems are just like what others have too. Now my powertrain has given out. And my extended warranty has ended. I truly believe that the issues have caused, or are caused by this prevailing issue of a wobbling drive shaft. Every time I have had it in for repairs the issue still persists and I can't always get the time to go back and have it looked at it again. It is a safety issue above all else and I truly believe GM knows about it but does nothing. Even more to the point, I had a "transmission fluid flush" just under a month ago and now all of a sudden my truck doesn't shift like it should. They say it will cost over 5 thousand dollars to get repaired. There is something seriously wrong here. This is an ongoing issue, and again it is difficult to say when it started. But a vehicle going down the highway at speed limit and shaking is a safety concern.

Wheels locked up. Garage states it is 4 wheel drive transfer case. Garage checked with GM for a recall and this issue is on recall for this type/year of truck but VIN is not included in the recall. Transfer case must be reprogrammed according to diagnostic test and GM confirmed that is the fix. This vehicle has just over 40,000 miles on it and GM stated it is not covered by recall.
Fuel system is going bad have to replace fuel injectors at 90,000 miles. Keep a check engine light on and makeing cyl 6 misfire. Replace all of the spark plugs and wires and still not fix.
Transmission failed at 93K miles. Luckily for me, I was a month away from warranty expiring. However, so many people have ended up on the wrong side of the warranty I wanted to make sure I file a report so GM can maybe recall their weak transmissions or torque converter. Trans has been shifting and shuddering so hard from 1st to 2nd gear and 2nd back to 1st. Was driving home from work on the highway and all of a sudden trans would not shift into 6th gear. When taking exit home, truck died. Restarted and got codes P0741 and P0700. Took to dealer and they replaced the transmission. Fluid smelt burnt and metal shavings in pan.
Torque converter gave out. The vehicle would make a loud vibration and cause the vehicle RPM to go up and down. I ended up having to replace the whole transmission.
The truck was on street. Transmisionwould not engage in the. Second gear, or any gear. Turned car off. Started truck again same problem. Even in reverse. Truck was in lake arrowhead on mountain road by houses. Called flat bed tow truck. Towed back home to long beach. 200 miles!. the truck is in my drive way waiting for an transmission appointment. Strange drove around the block and had no problem. Even backed in to my driveway with no problem. So not trust truck now.
I am getting a lot of clunking in a transmission when it's up shifting and down shifting. On the road under 55 mph. Idle surges when it's switching gears. When it goes into V4 mode at any speed it starts to shudder and vibrate to the point and you can feel it in the gas pedal and steering wheel and a little bit in the seat. And now its making a rubbing noise.
I have about 85000 miles on my car, I was driving to work and the engine light came up. The code for the engine light came up as P06da which most likely indicates a problem with the engine oil control solenoid (based on most of the videos and reviews on the internet). Unfortunately, GM never made a recall about this!! this problem costs about 3K to fix at the dealer.
Transmission would not change gears. Slipping and caused high revs and sometimes would shift. They told me the hub that contained gears 4-6 was damaged. This a few months after cylinder #7 blew and had to replaced. All of course a few months after the warranty expired. Been complaining about the transmission for years.
When driving truck on a busy road the warning sign of (service stabilitrak) pops up on dashboard and lights would flicker turning on and off as the truck would also seem to turn off and quickly back on regaining electric power. When reversing it started locking the steering wheel and the (service stabilitrak) warning sign would pop up. Truck was taken to dealership twice for recalls and they said problem was corrected and now it's there for the third time as we speak. When I parked in my driveway I was able to record the incident and video was sent to dealership mechanic. Last Sunday as I headed out to buy dinner, my vehicle seemed to be running fine. I noticed the dashboard lights flickered twice and that was it. When I was approximately 25 miles from my residence (service stabilitrak) warning popped on dashboard and truck completely turned off locking my brakes loosing complete control of the vehicle and it went on its own into a busy intersection going downhill. Steering wheel and brake was locked loosing all electrical and driving control. It would not turn, it would not do any changes. My truck ended up bumping into a sidewalk, I was terrified as I almost lost my life. Shaking in fear I tried to restart my truck and it did turn on. I went inside the shopping center parking lot, parked and called aaa so my vehicle could be towed to our nearest dealership. We had an appointment at the dealership for Tuesday due to negative reviews and they were going to look at our vehicle again. However, I never expected that I would almost loose my life. It's the third time it's been seen and I fear it will be the same scenario. I cannot put my family's life at risk. The truck is currently at the dealership being serviced. I will not be driving this vehicle unless I have been given proof that they fixed the issue. I have documentation for proof.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle shuddered without warning. The contact stated that the following day the vehicle failed to shift gears. The vehicle was towed dan tobin Chevrolet, Inc. (2589 billingsley rd, columbus, oh 43235) where it was diagnosed that there was metal shards from the torque converter and the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered to pay a nominal part of the repair cost. The approximate failure mileage was 136,000. The VIN was not provided.
When I purchased this vehicle I went to the dealership to complain about the transmission. When applying the gas, the car hesitated. I was told the car was "learning" and this was part of the computer system. Now that the warranty is off, it now needs a new transmission.
Me and over 100 people I know have had issues with the 6 speed transmissions in the 2014+ Silverado. Mine currently is shifting hard. All of these vehicles are experiencing way too many issues before they should (less than 150K miles). Sometimes my transmission won't shift and leaves me going at an unsafe slow rate of speed in the middle of a busy highway
Often, when making low speed turns the entire engine and electrical system shuts off. There is no power steering when this happens and it's difficult and dangerous to try to coast to a safe spot to try to restart the vehicle. Generally, it starts back up again within a few minutes. In the three years that we've owned the vehicle, it has been to two different Chevy dealerships more than once and both dealerships say there's no problem. It's frustrating that it seems to be a common issue yet there's no answer to the problem and no recall.
