Several times when coming to a stop at low speed, the RPMs stay at 1500 despite having foot off accelerator, requiring greatly increased brake pressure to stop or maintain stopping. Seems that the transmission does not downshift to low gear. Just bought vehicle used two days ago, happened three times today. This easily could have resulted in an vehicle or pedestrian accident.
2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 transmission complaints
Page 6 of 8: complaints 131 to 160 of 191, newest first, as owners wrote them.
In the last few weeks there have been five instances of the vehicle downshifting multiple gears at approximately 60 MPH with a hard shift. The vehicle was in 2wd mode during all events. This occurred twice on wet roads and resulted in a momentary loss of control which I was able to recover when the rear wheels suddenly slowed and skidded. The vehicle was taken to Brenegen Chevrolet in Onalaska, WI today. The dealer was unable to replicate the issue and charged me for diagnostic time. Vehicle mileage is 53k
The transmission has to be change after 80k Also the fuel injectors were replace after 60k.
Truck went into reduced engine power with check engine light and traction control light illuminated on the instrument cluster. Subsequent restarts of the truck resulted in the code clearing itself and normal start up. Now it is having trouble starting up on a cold start, especially with remote start.
Transmission failed with just over 102,000 miles on it. I backed out of my driveway and attempted to put it in drive. It went nowhere - forward reverse both done. Towed to repair shop.
The clutch torque converters wear out so fast and they wear out so close to the end of the vehicles warranty
I noticed several times it feels that it is not catching the gear and will suddenly lurch forward. I've taken it to the dealer and they said it is a transmission issue and no longer under warranty. Upon further research I've seen that there are many issues and complaints regarding this 2017 model year for this chevrolet silverado.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated while the vehicle was stationary, the vehicle failed to accelerate while the accelerator pedal was depressed. The contact stated that there was no warning light illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to an unknown dealer to be diagnosed. The contact related the failure to the transmission. The contact stated that the transmission was serviced however, the failure occurred. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer had not been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 70,000.
My vehicle was off for the normal day coming home from work. I turned my vehicle on to go to the store and noticed the check engine light was on, I then went to oreillys and got a free diagnostic check, came back with code u1501 lin bus 1. While driving to my home from oreillys, I made a slight turn to my driveway and my vehicle shut down and completely locked up. I put it back in park and started it up like nothing happened a second ago. I've read about this code and the make,model, year of this issue, it doesn't seem like I'm the only one with this problem. I previously owned a 2014 chevy silverado and it was more trips to the dealership to figure out what made my vehicle stall while driving it than actually given the time to enjoy the vehicle. Please don't make me consider switching to ford.
My truck shifts so hard it wakes up my baby in the back seat and when u are really going slow it clunks hard and every chevy dealer says it's normal it's not normal when it's hitting that hard it's waking my baby. My truck has also been to the dealer 10 plus times already and only owned a little over a year

Transmission made a loud whining sound and then gave out. Error codes p0700 and p0796
Transmission shudder.
My silverado is exhibiting the same transmission issues described in many complaints here already, I.e., a slipping/shuddering feeling as it progresses through the gears and a frequent clunk/bang at times when it downshifts. It has become progressively worse with time. I am surprised there is not some sort of bulletin or recall for this issue considering it is described so exactly in so many different complaints. Obviously, this is a factory defect that chevrolet should correct at its expense.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated while driving, the transmission was slipping between gears. The contact stated that the stability track warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to quirk chevrolet of bangor (293 hogan rd, bangor, me 04401, (207) 945-9401) where it was diagnosed with needing the brake control module to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and was informed of a possible partial reimbursement for the repairs. The failure mileage was approximately 50,760.
Transmission shutters when accelerating accelerating uphill. Accelerator difficult to press when accelerating and most times have to downshift two gears to get up to the desired speed and eliminate said shutter
The transmission on my 2017 has gone out. I am having to have it replaced and my truck is only 3 years old. From what I am read this has been an on going issue with the 2017 chevrolet's. I am very dissatisfied with the whole situation and the fact that gm will do nothing to fix this.
Transmission shutter. Took to dealership twice and replaced transmission fluid and filter first time. No change. The second time could not find any codes but would not make any corrections.
Purchased my vehicle just a few months ago and had zero issues, other than pesky afm bull. Within the last month, transmission began shuddering and jerking as if slipping gears under normal driving conditions. Soon thereafter, a whining noise started that was more prevalent during gear change. Spoke to technicians at my local gm dealership service department and he informed me that this is an extremely common issue with this year model and transmission. According to this senior technician, they have found that a fluid swap can cure these issues because the what is called for from factory just doesn't cut the mustard. Checked the system, and to my astonishment, there are no recalls or service bulletins for this known issue. Take my truck in for services, hoping all I would need still is the fluid swap, and now the technicians are telling me I need to fork over 5k for a new new transmission because mine is shot. Even more to my amazement, I start looking around on this site and there have been a ton of similar complaints surrounding this year make and model tranamission, and yet, gm has done nothing to correct or prevent these problems from persisting.
Truck hesitates when accelerating, hard shifting from 1st to 2nd and 2nd to 1st almost feels like you've been rear-ended. Truck shakes and jerks when shifting gears, truck vibrates at low speeds. Been to the dealership multiple times with no success. They tell me they can't duplicate problem. Truck has 13,000 miles chevy should man up and fix the problem. Very disappointed
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chevrolet silverado 1500. The contact stated he had difficulty shifting the gear shifter into any gear. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was not taken to be diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 63,000.
Transmission torch converter and can not keep wheels balanced arm suspension city and highway driving
Torque converter locking up on random occasions with no warning before shifting period very dangerous while in traffic or trying to turn. Gm told me they knows about this problem of course and said install a new transmission with updated parts that were bad from the factory.
Transmission almost has some what of a shutter when shifting as well as when driving at higher RPM and then slow down quickly hits hard as if getting rear ended
Have notice a rough shift from 1-2gear or 2-1gear, specially when going up hill & I let my foot off the pedal. Huge bang like if the gears were or are slipping in the transmission or rear end. I have an ltz 4x4 with approx. 76k miles on it. Going to take it it the shop & see what they say
Transmission jerks in & out of gear while under mild acceleration from a dead stop or while turning a corner.
I have a problem with the transmission since truck was new , while going with foot off gas about 55 60 MPH and slower speeds the truck transmission bangs as if the truck is being rearended occasionally happens while accelerating but most of time when not the dealer keeps downloading trans info and states no problem found. Going straight ahead. Last happened sat but ongoing for 3 years please help
Greetings all I had to put my truck in the shop because it started shuddering at 20 MPH and I could barely get anywhere in it. I'm not sure how much it is going to cost but he said your would take care of it. I was wondering would provide the shop with a purchase order for repairs if need be. Please let me know as soon as possible sir thanks in advance.
I began experiencing the problem I am about to explain shortly after purchasing my truck. I would experience an abrupt shift from first to second gear shortly after starting and on occasion it would abruptly shift down from second to first, feeling as though I had been rear ended. I scheduled my first routine service on december 16, 2017 at 6217 miles. The service writer, at the selling dealership, advised me the complaint I was experiencing was "normal", as the transmission had "to learn my driving habits" and would clear by my next routine service. My next routine service was november 29, 2018, after having only driven 5,000 miles and I again complained about the transmission issue. This service writer advised the transmission was still too new and that it's not completed learning my driving habits until at least 15,000 to 20,000 miles. I have since searched several chevy truck forums (I.e. Carcomplaints.com, gmtruckclub.com, and gm-truck.com) and have found numerous complainants regarding the same issue experienced by owners across the states. Everyone complains of chevy not able to rectify the problem and citing "normal" operation. On may 28, 2020 I wrote to chevrolet customer assistance center. On june 26, 2020 I received a response from chevrolet in a letter stating they had been unable to contact me and if there was no further issues they would close the case. I called the number in the letter and spoke to "[xxx]", refusing any further identification, stating he would try and get me another appointment to have my vehicle inspected. I am awaiting a response. Just yesterday, while approaching the community security gate at my housing complex, the transmission abruptly shifted from first to second, lurching forward, requiring me to abruptly brake to avoid contact. This is an extreme safety issue that chevrolet is refusing to address. Please help!! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
When I first purchased this vehicle it has always shifted hard and shuddered. I took it to the shop and they told me it was because my auto 4 wheel drive was on. It continued to have issues for the next couple of years and each time I took it in for an oil change they would tell me there was nothing wrong with it. The check engine light was on. I took it in again and they said it was because the hood latch needed replaced. Replaced that and 2 days later the check engine light was on again. Took it back and they couldn't figure out why it was on. 3 days later, my transmission went out. Here I am, outside of my warranty and no way to pay the 5,000 it takes to repair my transmission. As I am reading online, it seems that the issues I was having, gm was aware of and hasn't made a fix for this yet. Gm refuses to fix my transmission when they are aware of issues with this year, make, and model.
