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 purchased a 2018 Chevrolet Silverado LTZ because the 2016 Chevrolet Texas edition was making a horrible clunking noise. The 2016 only had 6K miles on it when I heard the clunking noise. So when I traded it in for a 2018 I was told that it had a better suspension and that I wouldn't hear the clunking noise on this truck. Well at about 23K miles I heard the noise again. The nose sounds like an old beat up truck. I have taken it to the dealership and was told that its a common problem and that there wasn't anything they can do because it not a safety issue.
I have had Chevrolet trucks all my life and I am tired of this noise. I will never again purchase another Chevrolet truck!!!!!!!!!
