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.

Code: P2635 Fuel pump -??A-?? low flow/ performance It only happens when it-??s warm outside. It was doing this last summer and during the winter it stopped now it-??s 80 degrees + outside it-??s throwing the code again
Torque converter clutch system stuck in -??off-??; and won-??t engage when commanded by system-??this is apparently a known and common issue. Causing gears to not engage properly and a safety hazard when driving on freeway and higher speeds.
The AFM system to the vehicle started to fail while I was on the road with my family. Vehicle went into limp mode as the vehicle started. Displayed on the dashboard engine loss of power with check engine light on. Took to the dealer to repair and got quoted a spark plug change when the issue is clearly something else.
I was driving on along WT Harris highway and I attempted a turn along JW Clay Blvd. when my I pressed the gas and my truck didn't respond. I lost acceleration and it took a dangerous amount of time for me to cross the Highway. There aren't any warning lights or a check engine light on, but my transmission has begun to slip gears. This is after I had over 2k work done at the dealership for other problems I was having. Since no warning lights were visible it came as a complete shock in the middle of traffic when I could not accelerate. I have had my truck inspected by AAMCO Total Car Care and they have confirmed the problems and also the lack of warning lights or codes. After some research online I have found this issue common with Chevrolet Silverados manufactured between 2015-19.
Fuel injectors are misfiring. This has caused the shifting of gears to be rough. Also, when at a complete stop, then a small amount of force is applied to the gas pedal, a sudden jump forward will take place. Check engine light and the traction control lights have came on.

Code P0300 and P050D keep on being thrown. Vehicle started having these issues back when I had 30K miles and now at 45K, I am getting them more often. The downshifts because of this are bad, the vehicle jerks when it downshifts. Feels like someone is rear-ending you. Vehicle sometimes shakes and sounds like its misfiring. I can sometimes turn off the vehicle and turn back on and it will work fine like nothing is wrong. Chevy wants $150 to diagnose and about $12000 to replace injectors since they are not covered under their bumper to bumper or powertrain warranty. That's pretty bad that I would have to do a major repair on a vehicle that is not that old and has to come out of my pocket.
Truck went into reduced engine power with check engine light and traction control light illuminated on the instrument cluster. Subsequent restarts of the truck resulted in the code clearing itself and normal start up. Now it is having trouble starting up on a cold start, especially with remote start.
My 2017 (1500) Silverado ltz runs rough when ever the truck is in motion. It even run rough when it's parked and not moving. The shifting is rough as well. For example, when I'm at a red light, a stop sign or just at a complete stop, I have to take off fast because if I take off slowly, my truck will jerk incredibly hard. I turned on my truck one morning and it just was shaking so bad and out of control. I took my truck to a Chevrolet dealership to get a diagnosis done and I have 3 bad fuel injectors. They want to charge me about $1400 for the repairs, not happening. GM has issued free repairs for these injectors since they're a common problem within these trucks but they're only allowing the free repairs done in 13 states and my state, (Idaho) is not one of them. It's a 4 year old truck with only 43,000 miles on it. I shouldn't have a repair that's over $1,000 dollars. That doesn't sit right with me and it wouldn't sit right with you if you were in my shoes. Im afraid I'll be stranded out on the road with a fairly perfectly new, low mileage truck. This is not a owners problem, it's a GM problem that should be covered by them, not by the owners.
The truck has a transmission issue that causes the transmission to pop and jolt between some of the lower, in -city gears. It puts a strain on the powertrain and causes the truck to jerk and delay for a minute.
My 2017 Silverado 1500, while at a stop light was idling rough and check engine light came. So when I brought the truck in for a second recall. The dealer said they could do a diagnostic. Well they said it was miss firing due to bad fuel injector cylinder 8 wasn't working so they gave me a price of 1500 to fix the problem unfortunately we just got out from the factory warranty and had extended warranty that didn't cover fuel injectors so we put lucas fuel injector cleaner and it helped. It seems as if there are a lot of complaints for this reason.
