Consumer Description

The automatic transmission occasionally slips and slams hard into gear between first and second gears, causing the truck to lunge forward when attempting to stop. This could potentially cause the truck to hit another person or vehicle when attempting to stop. This problem was immediately observed upon receiving the new truck in 2017 and is ocurring more frequently over time. The problem was reported to and taken in to the GMC dealer. They advised that they were unable to reproduce the problem during their time with the truck. There have been no safety incidents thus far. No warning lamps or messages have been displayed on the dashboard.
