Currently own a 2019 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 Texas Edition Z-71. Transmission continues to hard shift / lunge in forward and reverse. The transmission has popped so hard, on multiple occasions that I was convinced that someone had hit me from behind and had to pull over. The downshift is occasionally so hard that it that you jerk forward out of the seat. In October of 2022 the downshift at 15 mph made me lose control of my truck and utility trailer, sliding me into a small tree causing over two thousand dollars in damages. The suspension is also extremely shaky and any rough terrain makes the vehicle uncontrollable even at low speeds. I have almost had 3 additional accidents because of loss of control in rain and snow. The suspension is also noisy when you first drive with a grinding / rubbing sound. Vehicle has been in for service for these issues on more than one occasion and I have been told they cannot find anything wrong. I have had a transmission code in the past that eventually turned off. A quick internet search shows these all to be known issues and Chevrolet refuses to address of repair these major safety issues.

Truck lunges forward sometimes. It will work properly most of the time and then after stoping , when you tramp on the gas it will hesitate then lunge forward. As I said most of the time it works properly. I consider this a very real hazzard, has been doing this for months. One day at my golf club while pulling into my parking spot,a tight fit, I had to back up to get into my spot. When I tried to go forward it had about a two second hesitation then squealed the tires. I have witnesses. My dealer says everything with the truck is normal after they inspected it . The internet is full of the same thing from other owners of the same truck.

I bought this truck new in 2019. I have had it back to the dealership numerous times. When you put the truck in reverse and then pull back into drive to take off the truck jerks you so hard that it even squeals the tires. I talked to another chevrolet dealership in cookeville tn and they said they are aware or the issue and currently have 9 other trucks with the same complaints. There was another gut in that service department the same day also complaining about the same issue with his truck . Every time I take it back to the murfreesboro dealership they say they can not find the problem and they do not know of any issues which I find hard to believe. This issues has been present from the first day I purchased this truck

This truck continues to slip out of gear when trying to accelerate. Yesterday, as I attempted to cross a road, the transmission was "hung up" between gears resulting in a very dangerous situation where I was unable to move until traffic came much closer. It started from a stop and when I tried to cross the road it was shuddering between gears. This continues to happen on this vehicle. Sometimes it's a hard shift, other times it slips out of gear and as I push the accelerator, the engine revs and it is not in a gear and it finally grinds into a gear and then there is a jolt when it slams into the gear and the truck lurches forward or sometimes it's enough to squeal the tires.

When shifting from drive to reverse the transmission makes a grinding/slipping noise. At speeds over 30 MPH same grinding/slipping noise occurs seldom. Dealer says it's normal.

Vehicle is producing a hard shift between 1st & 2nd gear primarily on cold starts. More recently is has been doing more through out the day but not as serve. This started around 7500 miles, currently at 23,000+. The vehicle has now been to three dealers (6+ attempts) with no resolution. One dealer took the valve body off for inspection and cleaning. Other dealers have tried reprogramming. Last attempt at repair was the week 8/25/2020 with no resolution as they could not duplicate the issue (had the vehicle for a week). The next day I experienced the harsh shift twice in one day. I also experience transmission slippage at constant speeds between 45 & 60mph. A bulletin came out from gm the week of 8/25/2020 indicating note to repair/replace the transmission as this is normal. How is this normal when it shift so hard it through the occupants forward and rearward in the seat. How is this safe for a young child/toddler? This has the potential to cause whiplash in younger children. I have in firm believe this is a cause for my neck and shoulder pain. As an added note: I have been working with the gm executive resolution team on this issue and again no resolution. I am also experiencing an issue with the parking brake coming on by itself when the vehicle is completely off and the key out of the vehicle. Again dealers cannot duplicate even though one service rep witnessed it while dropping the vehicle off for service. This is a safety issue for anyone performing brake service as the brake could activate and cause a pinch point. Overall I have several other electrical issues regarding radio, dic display & cruise control. Only the dic display has been corrected. I also have had leaking rear slider and squeaks in the front left dash, right front floorboard and upper lh b-pillar. I also had the left dash panel replaced due to a broken tab. Video upon request

The 8 speed transmission sometimes gets hung in between gears or shifts very hard after it intermittently comes out of gear. This week, I went to cross a road on dry road conditions and the vehicle came out of gear, the engine revved and I was without a gear for 2-3 seconds, causing the oncoming traffic to be uncomfortably close by the time I regained power and was able to cross the road. There have been other times that I have been at a stop sign and I go to take off and the engine revs up as I hit the gas but it is not in gear and then abruptly snaps into gear, causing the tires to actually squeal. So this issue has happened when the truck is still moving and also when it was at a stop sign and not in motion,
