Transmission will jerk/run poorly between 30-50 mph. This will cause deteriorated driving conditions and inability to stay with other vehicles with acceleration. Service performed by Chevrolet to rebuild transmission due to pump failure which damaged clutch pack. Service was covered under powertrain warranty. Rebuilt transmission now slips out of 3 and 4 gear and allows for lose of acceleration control.

Transmission problems. Vibrates under acceleration and deacceleration. Occasionally won't shift gears up or down, slips or hesitation between shifts. Violet jerks at times. Dealer has done a fluid drain and flush at 20k miles, replaced torque converter at 54k miles. Goes back in again on Monday for the same complaints. I'm responsible for transporting my 5 year old daughter to and from school. Difficult to travel highway speeds when it decides to act up. Research shows many design flaws and thousands of compliments. I fear for my families safety when driving this. I'm told it's safe by dealership??

Since shortly after purchasing the vehicle new, I have experienced hard shifting, slipping when accelerating, also experience rough idle at times.I have had the torque converter replaced but I still ha e the problem. I've even had the service manager ride with me and he stated he experienced the lugging sensation, and said it's normal, they still did nothing to help me, and this is noted on their service record! This vehicle has been in the shop several times for the same issue, and I get the same answer as they find nothing wrong.

The truck shifts aggressively between 10 and 20 MPH. Like it's slipping not engaging into second gear. Started noticing it at 16,000 miles and had the truck since brand new.*dt

The 2019 colorado z71 I have has been in the shop at the dealer 8 times since march. The transmission shutters while trying to maintain a consistent speed between 40-60 MPH. The transmission also slips and jerks when slowing down and reaccelerating. Dealer continues to tell me they can not recreate the issues. It has become so that I do not feel safe allowing my wife to travel in this vehicle. I fear that she will be stranded on the side of the road or involved in an accident because of the issue at hand. This is her primary mode of transportation.
