CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 has an early trend of the transmission shifting hard, surging & jerking.
At the moment these trucks are still under warranty. However this transmission problem shows up right away with the average reported mileage only around 3,000 miles, so for now the 2017 Silverado earns our "Beware of the Clunker" badge.
I had the hoses replaced last July 2021 costing almost $900. As of April 2022 the same issue is happening of hot air blowing from AC. This time the dealer replaced the condenser @ $1100. And the following week, the issue came back.
Called to check on the extended warranty - soooo, great news. It has moved from 100k miles down to 60k even with the extended on all vehicles past 2016 :L Thanks Chevy :L
Called today and it turns out its 100$ for a basic diagnostic to check it out even though I said it was the compressor depending on the dealer they will or will not add that to the labor charge - OH BOY!!! At this point it was cheaper for me just to buy the Vacuum Pump and all the tools needed. Mind you - I am mechanically sound but not certified in anything... Fixed it for cheaper and I have the tools in case a friend or family member needs help.
Very unhappy, I've talked to multiple A/C mechanics in my area and all trucks and SUVs from 2014-2018 are having ac issues with no recalls or assistance. Costs up to $1300 for dealership to repair because it happens after the small warranty given runs out. VERY PISSED.
I had my condenser replaced as they diagnosed THAT as being the problem. 3 weeks and the A/C is not working at all again. NOW, they (Serra Chevrolet) are claiming the Suction and Discharge hoses are leaking. BUT those are not covered under my extended warranty I paid for when I bought the truck new! They want me, a disabled man to fork over $1119.00 for a repair I feel they misdiagnosed in the first place. There are a few recalls on up to 2016 Silverado's for the EXACT same issues, but they are claiming because my truck is an early '17, I am not included in the recall!!!! I am disgusted with General Motors handling of this bullshit!
I took the car in three time and all three mechanics say that how the engineer was design. I told all mechanics that they were smoking .... I told them, while driving in Southern California you don't need to have the ac on all the time and if you don't turn on the ac the hot air from the engine will brow through the vehicle vent which become very discomfort. So my truck haven't fix the problem yet. I'm still waiting for someone out there that have the same problems as i do.

I took this vehicle in several times already and the technician is telling me to have ac on so the vehicle will not be blowing hot air into the car. Even through the temperature is 66 degrees outside.
The specialist is telling me that's how GM built all their new vehicles.
