Transmission slipping by model year
What owners say
While driving to work a month ago (3/19/25) I lost the power to accelerate out of nowhere. And my truck started making this noise, what I can only describe as a winding up noise while trying to accelerate. I was going 55mph on a busy morning commute. There were no warning lights. I pulled over and shut the truck off. Checked oil (even though it was changed a week or 2 prior). Oil was fine. Let truck sit for 10 mins then tried to turn back on, it started but had that winding up noise when just sitting in idle, the check engine light then came on after it was on for a minute or so. Ran codes at home, and truck started making an additional rattle noise on top of the winding up noise when had to be turned on. One code was the crankshaft position sensor, we changed that out. Then the truck wouldn't start. Taken to Dealership, and they said initially they found a broken connector to the engine harness. Fixed that then truck started but still making the rattle/clunk type noise and louder than at home so they continued diagnostics because they said the noise sounds like a rod knock, so rod either being bent/broken/slipping. Further diagnostics found that oil and coolant are mixed along with metal shavings through engine so new engine is needed.

Transmission slipping
Going into neutral on its own almost causing a accident and slipping. Yes inspected by service department. No warning
While exiting interstate we lost all pulling power. After a few moments it let us move the vehicle but pulling power was slipping, then we lost pull again and had to have it towed. There were no service engine lights or anything and now they are telling me that the transmission is bad. I have just over 110,000 miles on this truck and the repair shop tells me that this is a common issue with the transmissions on this vehicle.
My transmission went out. I was driving down the highway and I could feel it slipping. I managed do make it to my street and it locked up and skidded to a halt as if was thrown into park even though it was in drive. Revers would not engage nor would drive. The truck would roll in neutral. The truck is only a 2014 and has 130000 miles. Most hwy miles. It is currently in shop javing transmission rebuilt. This event happened yesterday morning july 15th 2019.
Truck shifts bad, almost like the gears are slipping usually seems to happen around 3rd-4th gear. The truck also vibrates at 35 MPH up to highway speeds. This all happens when driving.
Was pulling out of my driveway when the transmission slipped and car had to slam on its brakes so it wouldn't hit me. Then it was sluggish and slipping on my 30 minute drive to work on interstate 81. On the way home it started to get worse and making an awful humming sound out of the transmission. I've researched this problem and everyone is having the same problem with gmc and chevy 1500 trucks from 2014 to 2017. I check the fluids every week and there are always good. It just seems there should be a recall if everyone is having the same problem. Thank you.
The tires to my 2014 silverado was always slipping on hills so I finally went to the tire store and was told my belts wear coming off. Metal everywhere, I have 52,000 miles on it and the tires are gone already, they had to be very cheap tires.
Tl* the contact owns a 2015 (na) chevrolet silverado 1500. While driving 65 MPH, the vehicle would not accelerate for approximately three seconds when prompted.

While sitting at a traffic light while removing foot from brake pedal vehicle jump forward (as being rear ended) at other times at low speeds while parking vehicle lunges forward. Vehicle acts like transmission is slipping then lunges forward. Took vehicle to dealership and they reported that problems are a normal and are a normal characteristic of vehicle operating as designed. Dealership then gave me a list of service bulletins of past issues that were not part of my original complaint. Vehicle problems started with less than 800 miles now has 1800.
