My vehicle has a very good service record. The transmission failed and had to be replaced at 93,800 miles. My research has revealed this is a common problem with this make/model. The transmission has been replaced and I have filed a claim with GMC. I do not have an extended warranty. However, this appears to be a common problem.

At 81,000 miles truck started having a transmission shutter at 25 MPH and 45-65 MPH when transmission is at normal temp. Took truck to the dealership and being told I need a new transmission for $5,000. There are many documented transmission issues with Chevrolets. Why is nothing being done to help the customers"?"

Transmission Failure. Truck starts to jerk violently.

- Cassadaga, NY, USA

82000 miles, hard shifting and jerking. 83000 miles truck will hardly go into gear.

- Lillington, NC, USA

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving at 35-45 mph, the vehicle would jerk forward, then decelerate, and jerk forward again. The vehicle was awaiting diagnosis by an independent mechanic. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 89,000.

I have been having issues with the transmission hard shifting in low gear. Mainly from 1st to 2nd gear. I also experience a power loss while moving at very slow speed and applying the gas pedal. Most of the issues I am experiencing happens while moving at slow speeds and when turning from a complete stop. I have taken the truck into the dealership to have it looked at but the problem has persisted and they stated that the hard downshifts and power lag are design features to protect the transmission from self inflicted damage.

- Johnston, IA, USA

Truck has 104,000 miles on it. Saturday it stopped going into any gear and would not move, clearly the transmission. It initially was jerking as I pulled into a side street and once I got to where I needed to be and tried to drive again, it wouldn't go into any gear. Took to aamco in albany where they diagnosed that the transmission pump failed and will need a complete rebuild and there is a national back order for this pump.

Torque converter clutch suffered failure while driving, much noise and default to 'safe mode' decreasing truck performance. Truck just reached 80K miles, less than five years old. The fix is to replace/rebuild transmission. Repair is stating that they are upgrading various parts within the transmission to prevent issue in the future. To me, this acknowledges a flaw in the design/construction of part. Recall should be issued to address known issues due to poor design or construction.

Vehicle shifts really hard when slowing to a stop or when accelerating. This has been a problem since the truck was brand new but Chevy said there is nothing wrong. It does not happen every time but I'd say it's atleast a few times every trip. I told Chevy about it either in the first or second year after buying the truck.

At around 82,000 miles car started to be hard to drive due to transmission failing to switch gears properly... now at 92,500 it's barely switching gears... I received error codes and check at dealership, they say it's not under warranty. I knew I am covered up to 100,000 mike's for drive train. Please help!

I was driving normally and all of a sudden it started wanting to downshift from 5th or 6th gear to 2nd or 3rd gear when going up a tiny incline which normally wouldn't be cause for any downshift. I saw it was funky and a mile later, I lost all power and had a variety of check engine lights. I pulled over, cleared them and restarted the truck. It let me drive in first gear for a little while until I reached a stoplight and could not go anywhere. Towed the vehicle out of the intersection thanks to my friend and put it on a tow truck to the dealership. They said the transmission fluid pump failed and exploded, sending metal chunks all throughout my transmission. They said it would cost $4500 for a GM rebuilt 6L-80 as it was at 98K miles and was no longer under any warranties. I drive very cautiously and almost never allow RPM's to go above 2500, never shift from reverse or drive to any other gears unless fully stopped, and do most of my driving on the highway. So a month later and 4 grand later, my truck is running and driving again.

Tried to accelerate while entering the freeway, and experienced engine shudder/stutter. Took several seconds before vehicle responded and accelerated. Lots of shaking.

- Livermore, CA, USA

GM has known defect w/ 8L90 transmission systems failing. In July this vehicle was serviced by a GM dealer receiving full transmission flush and preventative maintenance. Ever since (now 60 days) the truck struggles to shift and lurches forward in low gear. Upon taking back to dealer this week, the lone option is a full replacement transmission, nearly $6K of estimated cost. Truck is less than five years old.

I started getting the famous transmission "shudder" and "shake" about a week ago and it is now constant at any speed, especially during acceleration. Shifts from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 3rd are harsh. During acceleration, the transmission surges and feels like it's slipping or trying to shift when it shouldn't. even using cruise control at a constant speed, the surges still happen and there's a constant vibration through the steering wheel.

I have been dealing with transmission issues since I bought the vehicle. There is dirt and sand inside my brake lights, rust under the seats, dirt and rust under the dash, brake calipers are horribly rusted and painted to be covered up by the selling dealership, wiring issues continue to arise and repaired by my mechanic. Trailer brake system is now failing. Steering is having issues now, either bad tie rods or bad cv joints. I have had complete loss of electronic power steering in the past. I suspect this vehicle was in a flood and the dealership covered it up. I have been dealing with this since January of 2019, and I have text records starting April 7th 2019. The vehicle was purchased from a family member's dealership and I bought an extended warranty. They have been less than helpful. Seeking legal help is my last resort.

RPM increases between 4 and 5.5K but unable to acceleration after descension from hill while driving on I-17. It appears my transmission/gears slip following hill descents. On 6 occasions, while driving to and from moab, Utah on Aug 9-10, the engine revs up to 4.5 - 5.5K at the bottom of the hill/decline. I could not get out of the gear or pick up speed upon acceleration. Braking did not stop the revs. I just kept my foot off the brake and accelerator until the gear eventually kicked in. Otherwise the truck ride and drive is amazing and no other problem except getting annoying gear clunks now and then, every since I purchased it. Back in 2017 midway Chevy said that is not a problem. Well, I drove my truck for the first time yesterday since the incident. The problem reoccurred while descending a very small hill in anthem. This time span was much shorter. I want to mention that I have driven my truck up I-17 from anthem, AZ to flagstaff and beyond at least 20 times in the last 4 years and never experienced this. I do not have a floor mat or anything on the driver side floor of the truck. There are no signs of trans fluid leaking (on garage floor etc.), no way to check my trans fluid level. No messages showed up in the dic (driver info ctr), or on the dashboard instrument cluster (message center) (I.e.: transmission, speed, service brake assist, etc.), no diagnostic warning and the August monthly diagnostic report did not reflect any problems. I don't think any features were accidentally turned on while driving (I.e.: tow/haul, hdc, grade braking etc.). the problem continued after turning truck off and restarting, which should disengage most features. I am a 70 year old woman and haven;T driven the truck hard or never hauled anything. I am 2K miles out of warranty. Will never pay 53K for a vehicle with such a lousy drive-train warranty.

I have a 2016 Chevy Silverado high country 6.2L engine 8 speed transmission 38,000 miles. Transmission either hesitates or shifts roughly when accelerating. Multiple times when this occurred making a turn it nearly caused an accident if it decided to hesitate shifting. GM has done nothing about this problem except give customer magical fluid fixes that don't last if they work at all, they are now on the third fluid including the original factory. They've been telling customers the transmission just has to re-learn shift patterns from day one. A friend of mine has one of these trucks as well and had one dealer tell him that's just how the truck works. If this is an acceptable mode of operation then why was the truck allowed on the road in the first place?

Since purchased, truck shakes at about 70 mph. Original tires were mounted and balanced - still shakes. New set of tires were put in - still shakes at 70+mph. Happens on all types of highway surfaces. Ongoing issue.
