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.
Every time I’ve turned the AC on, it takes forever to get cold and the air doesn’t blow out consistently. When I change the dial, there is a really long lag before it turns up or down, and it’s just super annoying.
I noticed the 2017 Silverado surged and clunks while stopping occasionally almost like it shifts into higher gear while stopping. I had a hunch the a/c was causing the problem but not sure how it does it... maybe a/c clutch disengages or something. I found that when I turned the a/c off, the transmission downshifts fine and there is no surge so I listed the a/c as the problem.
So after the transmission issues I started having my a/c goes bad. Took back to Stonebriar Chevrolet where the original transmission issue was to be fixed. They said this too was a common problem of the CHEVY Silverado but was not under recall either. I asked for a quote on repair which they came back with nearly $1900.00 to replace the condenser. After talking with the sales associate for a bit and she made a call into GM even to see if there was something they could do to which they said absolutely not. I left after she came back and said she could lower it to $1500.00 and went to another dealership who sold me the truck James Woods in Denton. They quoted me $1000.00 to refill the freon and replace the condenser part which had failed. DO NOT BUY A CHEVY SILVERADO after I have warned you.
WHEN USING AC ON HOT DAYS + FAN ON HIGH, IT WILL LOWER FAN SPEED BY ITSELF BY AT LEAST 1/2 WHEN AC IS NEEDED THE MOST. WHEN I WANT MY FAN SPEED ON HIGHEST SETTING I EXPECT IT TO STAY THERE + AIR TEMPERATURE SOMETIMES IS BARELY COOL
driving along with the air conditioner on and all of a sudden it shuts off then comes back on and the fan setting is on med but the air coming out is like its on low....OMG I have had enough of this "new" truck crap... GMC you need to stand up for the junk you are putting on the market with that expensive price sticker..if I wanted a truck that had problems I would have bought a USED one....BUT I DIDNT.. I BOUGHT A NEW ONE!!!! that isn't worth a plug nickel !!!..would love to tell you where to shove your Chevy junk
