NHTSA Complaint #11022161 — 2017 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 2500

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS EXTREMELY HARD CAUSING A LOUD CLUNK AND THE VEHICLE TO LUNGE FORWARD. THIS IS EXPERIENCED A LOT DURING SLOWING DOWN AT YIELD SIGNS OR WHEN STARTING OUT IN TRAFFIC. THE TRUCK EXPERIENCE A SPLIT SECOND DELAY IN ACCELERATION AND THEN SUDDENLY SHIFTS VERY HARD LUNGING FORWARD. GM MOTORS DEALERSHIP ACKNOWLEDGES THERE IS AN ISSUE, BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION AND GM ENGINEERS ARE HAVING THEM TELL THE CONSUMERS THE TRANSMISSION IS OPERATING AS DESIGNED DESPITE THEIR OWN SERVICE TECHS AND SERVICE MANAGERS AND DISTRICT MANAGERS STATING THERE IS A PROBLEM. AFTER 3 DIFFERENT ATTEMPTS TO GET THIS RESOLVED I FILED A COMPLIANT WITH GM CASE # 8-3228178744 THAT REMAINS UNRESOLVED AS OF TODAY. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF GM 8-SPEED TRANSMISSION OWNERS HIGHLY UPSET OVER THIS AS MANY IF NOT ALL ESCALADE, CORVETTE AND TRUCK OWNERS HAVE THIS ISSUE. A MANDATORY RECALL IS IN ORDER. IN MY OPINION THIS IS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY INJURED.
