This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
While driving 65 mph the vehicle shifted from 2 wheel drive to 4 wheel drive low. The dealer was aware of this problem and stated that the manufacturer had no remedy for it at this time (2500 hd).
Transmission bangs into gear, sometimes it is so violent it causes the rear wheels to break loose causing reared to become unstable, been to dealer 3 times, they say this is normal. This problem becomes worse the longer its driven. Very scary to drive on wet roads.
Transmission bangs into second gear and a loud clunking sound is heard, took vehicle back to dealers 3 times and was told that this is normal condition for the vehicle and no repairs are to be made also that the noise is worse on the four wheel drive models.
The transmission slips when either starting from a complete stop or when shifting from 1st to 2nd gears. You can feel the truck then jerk into gear when engaged. Note: This is an automatic transmission and does not do it on a consistent basis. It seems that temperature or road conditions are not a factor. I have taken the vehicle into a Chevrolet dealer 5 times and the problem still persists.
