Harsh or hard shifting by model year
What owners say
Automatic transmission failed due to code P0722 (Output Speed Sensor signal lost). The vehicle experienced sudden loss of propulsion, violent/harsh shifting, and severe drivability issues while operating on the highway. Loss of forward motive power at high speeds creates an immediate collision hazard. The vehicle was previously serviced for transmission issues but the defect recurred. The vehicle remains parked and inoperable due to safety concerns.
I have a 2022 silverado ltd with the 6.2. I purchased the truck about a month and a half ago the previous owner had the 40 weight oil recall completed prior to my purchase. I had the oil changed when it said 45 percent life remaining far before it was due a certified chevy dealer completed the oil change with the 40 weight correct oil. Well about 8 days ago I went out and started the truck and heard a clunk sound like a failing starter would make. So later that day I notice a ticking noise as well as a chirping noise. Coming from engine bay. I made note of it. Ever since the noise began I have kept close eyes on it the ticking and chirping rise and fall when I give it gas. Yesterday when I started it the clunk noise happened but this time I felt a shudder or stutter I looked at the rpms and they didn't move at all with the shudder. I have an appointment Monday morning to take it to the dealer I looked into the recall for the thicker oil. And learned that this motor is pretty much junk and multiple issues I haven't driven it since yesterday because the issues I'm having correspond with complete engine failure at any point and I do not want to be on the highway and it happen that would put me and other motorist at risk injury. There has been no warning lights no engine light just the initial clunk the first time and since that it's just been getting worse
Transmission failure with no electronic warning or codes. Hard shifting was identified while under warranty but because no codes were present no action was taken to correct the issue.
The internal transmission Output Shaft Speed Sensor (OSS) and its associated internal circuit/lead frame assembly failed. The vehicle is fully intact, operational, and available for inspection upon request. When the Output Shaft Speed Sensor intermittently loses its signal (dropping to 0 RPM while the vehicle is stopped at red lights or in traffic), it forces the vehicle into an immediate electronic "limp mode." Upon pressing the gas pedal to accelerate, the transmission violently slams into gear with massive mechanical force. This sudden, unpredictable jerking and hesitation while accelerating into active traffic creates an immediate risk of being rear-ended, losing traction, or losing control of the heavy vehicle in an intersection. The problem was officially confirmed via a diagnostic computer scan by an authorized GM dealership (Crews Chevrolet), which pulled and documented history codes P0722 (Output Shaft Speed Sensor Circuit No Signal) and P0700 (Transmission Control System Malfunction Warning). However, the dealership declined physical teardown or sensor replacement because the electronic failure is intermittent and could not be replicated during a brief technician test drive. Yes. The vehicle's external wiring harness was physically inspected by an authorized General Motors dealership technician, who confirmed the external wiring passed inspection. This officially isolates the intermittent electrical drop to an internal transmission component failure. It has not been inspected by police or insurance. Yes. The symptoms appeared suddenly without prior warning. The transmission began shifting erratically and violently, immediately followed by the illumination of the dashboard Check Engine Light (Malfunction Indicator Lamp). The onboard computer triggered diagnostic trouble codes P0722 and P0700.
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. The contact stated that while driving on several occasions at various speeds, there was a clunking sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. The contact stated that on other occasions, while driving 65 MPH and above, the vehicle drove over a bump in the road, and the rear of the vehicle lost control and drifted into another lane. The vehicle was taken to a dealer, where it was diagnosed that the leaf spring pads needed to be replaced, and the rust protection was the cause of the leaf spring bushings cracking and separating. The vehicle was not repaired yet. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and offered to cover a portion of the cost of the repair. The failure mileage was approximately 25,000.
The 2022 Chevy Silverado I own is having same problems with transmission as is the models indicated on the recall. This truck doesn’t show up on the recall and has transmission shuddering hard shifting and at times doesn’t respond as normal. This truck also underwent the 6.2 motor recall and had a new motor added. And passed the required inspection. My question is why is this 2022 Chevy Silverado with the 10 speed transmission not on the recall when it is shaking the same symptoms as others on the recall.
The contact owns a 2022 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle unexpectedly hard shifted and the check engine warning light along with the reduced engine power warning light illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed with trouble codes P0700, indicating a transmission control module (TCM) failure, and P2717, indicating a pressure control solenoid failure. The contact was informed that the transmission had failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the federal safety agency hotline for further assistance. The failure mileage was approximately 120,000.
McCredy Motors replaced the engine due to a recallin 6/2025. Husband was driving from our home [XXX] to town and we had made it to [XXX] . Husband stated there was no warning, no engine light, no oil lights, no indication of over heating. Just a loud clunking all of a sudden, nocking, grinding and crackling. Husband immediately pulled over left the truck over night at the Greene town barn and we called in the morning to have the truck towed back to McCredy motors on the morning of 4/4/26. Reading up on this I have found the even after the recall and a new engine customers are still having catastrophic engine failures. This is absolutely what I feel we are currently experiencing. McCredy Motors will diagnose on Monday when the Certified Chevy dealership opens. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
Vehicle experienced a sudden rough shift followed up by hard shifting and transmission locking up rear wheels. If I was traveling at a higher rate of speed (over 30mph) a accident could've easily resulted. Check engine light and vehicle went into reduced acceleration mode after 3 to 4 severe shift occurances. Dealer has vehicle and found the valve body of transmission was faulty and will be replacing entire valve body. Still under factory warranty. Mileage at occurance was 45,006 miles.
Vehicle has a 10-speed electronic controlled transmission that has been identified having issues in other models. The vehicle is experiencing jerking, hard shifting, and shifting delays. I want my model of vehicle to be included in the recall. Recently had the engine replaced due to another recall.
The raido screen glitches randomly and wont let you use it. The engine has a bad shudder while driving. When the engine shudders the RPMs go down. It has hard shift most of the time after sitting over night and starting driving in the morning. It has been doing these issues for at least 6 months.
