2014 Chevrolet Silverado 1500: hesitation when accelerating

Filed Dec 8, 2023 · Transmission · NH

I had been driving for about 45 minutes. When I was driving and hit a speed of 50 mph, it felt like my truck was on a bumpy road and I could hear the banging and feel the hesitation and shakes. Then it felt like I was being hit by another vehicle at low speed. When I slowed down below 50, it seemed to have stopped. But when I stopped to get gas it started back up again. Because I was at least 30 miles from home, I called my husband and he told me to drive back home immediately. It seems to be getting worse and at lower speeds. This is my only source of transportation as I am disabled and cannot afford the ridiculous amount they want to just diagnose it.

When I attempt to speed up or slow down my truck hesitates, and it's followed by a significant shake, like a shudder, and sometimes it just jerks, or clunks, like it's doing a very “hard shift” when the automatic transmission changes the gears. Sometimes it shifts so violently, I feel like I got hit by another vehicle. I've also tried to accelerate into traffic, and the truck hesitate and then abruptly and violently jerks into gear. It creates a big traffic safety issue! Other times the transmission shifts gears so hard that it slams the truck forward, and makes feels like I've been rear-ended.

2014 chevrolet silverado ltz crew cab transmission fluid was serviced in 2015 at 48,900 miles. Still experienced hard down shift and told by the dealer this is because its a truck. At 100,763 miles the transmission begins cavitating, loss of power while traveling and with loud intermitting sounds of metal on metal. Got the truck in for local transmission service and the service manager said the transmission fluid was burnt and littered with heavy metal fragments from the transmission gears. Other local (friends) of 2014 truck owners have reported this condition which all resulted in a transmission rebuild which is $4,000 for this vehicle. The strange problem is they are failing at 100k miles and the dealer has been sent service advisories to not warranty any powertrains after 100k miles even if the date is still effective. This truck was in motion when the cavitation began and shortly after (100 miles or so) began metal on metal sounds and loud clacking form the transmission area under the truck. If you need any further information to look into this don't hesitate to contact me at your convenience. Just a quick background, I am a long time chevrolet owner and have a 1998 k 1500 and have replaced the engine and replaced two transmissions so I know it doesn't last forever but I would hope chevrolet wants to know this is happening in their premium line up of trucks. I would only hope the power train would last longer than 100k miles. Thank you for your time!

When turning into parking lot today at low speed, electrical system went crazy, screen flashed power steering failure, stabilitrac failure, doors locked and unlocked and engine died. Restarted and was fine driving forward and repeated failures again when turning to park in parking space. It is fortunate this was in a parking lot and not on interstate or other main road or while turning at a traffic light. There was a recall in fall of 2017 for power steering that was repaired at dealership upon notification. When I contacted the dealership, the service department supervisor advised it sounded as if there was a poor connection of a battery cable. The battery was replaced just a few months ago. It seems to me that if a it's a battery cable connection issue, then gm has another safety problem they need to address since I've read numerous other complaints with the exact same issues, and in my opinion, there must be a manufacturer defect if battery cables just come loose for no apparent reason. This needs to be fixed before someone is very seriously injured or killed as a result of this dangerous condition. Gm seems to be aware of the other reported issues and has taken no measures to correct it. Maybe all of us who own their vehicles should file a class action lawsuit and they might get off their [xxx] and do something! I certainly won't hesitate to file a civil complaint for product liability if a family member is hurt as a result of their continued negligence.

Transmission issues: surges forward and shifting too soon loud clunks when it shifts up and down lower gears vibration when coasting to a stop difficulty/hesitation on shifting properly on acceleration loud clunking at downshift from 3rd to 2nd gear and vise versa and also a clunk shift when the vehicle approaches a complete stop. The downshift is so hard that it is a safety concern. There is tons of complaints on the internet claiming that a plate on the 2nd gear has to much of a gap. It's a manufacture defect, gm service bulletin: #pip5175b and refers to mexican sourced transmissions that were built with the stator support bolts not being properly torqued, leading to various concerns, the first of which to show up is usually the 1-2 shift flare/slip. The kick is hard enough when it shifts that you feel like your getting rear ended from 3rd to 2nd. Also you think your transmission will drop out it goes into gear so hard.
