2014 Chevrolet Silverado transmission problems

Filed Apr 6, 2016 · Transmission · NY

Here's my story for those that will listen. I purchased the vehicle brand new and a few days later I mentioned to the salesman that it drove unusual and he replied that it could be from sitting on the lot...so I waited for the first scheduled maintenance and let them know that there was something not right with the shifting of the vehicle. I noted that it was loud clunking at downshift from 3rd to 2nd gear and also a clunk shift when the vehicle approaches a complete stop. The downshift is so hard that it is felt in the brake pedal. This is the part to me that raises the safety concern. The response was that they checked it and that everything was normal. I was informed that it should get smoother as it break in. They went on to say if I bring the vehicle in for the same issue and nothing is found that I would have to pay a diagnostic fee. So now at approx. 20,000 miles and I contacted general motors. They agreed for more diagnostic and now there is a technical service bulletin that states that it is a normal characteristic of the vehicle. Now the vehicle has feels like it got worse and drives terrible and unsafe. Meanwhile there are complaints about this same problem on the internet and nobody has done anything about it. It's funny that 2016 silverado is the same truck but without the problem. Gm needs to make good on their productions mistake and support there product. Silverado drivers experiencing the same condition should complain to make manufacturers responsible. Please investigate!!!!!!!!!!!!

Transmission clunks on downshift(seems like 3rd to 2nd shift) loud enough that people think I ran over or hit something. Dealer says its normal and they all do it!

The contact had not experienced a failure prior to having the vehicle repaired for a manufacturer recall concerning the 4 wheel drive function ability. Also, the engine control module was reprogrammed.

Vehicle vibrates at 72-80 MPH. Have taken it to the dealer 4 times with no positive results. They rf balanced all tires twice, replaced one tire, and on the last visit drove it 95 miles and did nothing. Currently dealing with gm customer care rep and dealership. If they cannot find a fix, I will request they buy the vehicle back.

While driving down the highway a stabilization control light came on briefly, then went away. Approximately 5 miles later after exiting the highway, and going down a side street, the truck died and the steering wheel locked when I slowed and started to make a right hand turn into a parking lot. This has since occurred once more under similar conditions while slowing, braking and turning at low speeds and not under throttle.
