While most automakers have ironed out their infotainment system bugs, Chevy is still struggling. The unit combines entertainment functions, such as radio and music streaming, with connectivity such as GPS and cell phone integration. Chevy’s take on this modern technology is the MyLink multimedia display. These days, touchscreen infotainment systems are offered in everything from luxury sedans to stripped-down compacts. POSSIBLY TORQUE CONVERTER Problems with the Infotainment System TALKING TO OTHER PEOPLE WITH GM 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION AND THEY ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. I HAVE ALREADY BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP TWICE AND PROBLEM IS STILL THERE. THIS IS HAPPENING WHEN GOING AT SLOW SPEEDS AND IS WORSE AFTER A COLD START.

THIS TRANSMISSION ISSUE CAUSES AND CAN CAUSE HESITATION WHEN NEEDING TO ACCELERATE, THUS CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD.Ĩ SPEED TRANSMISSION CLUNKS WHEN SHIFTING INTO 2 GEAR AND AT TIMES FEELS LIKE YOU GOT REAR ENDED. HAVE TAKEN IT TO GM DEALER AND AM INFORMED THAT YES, THAT’S THE WAY THE 8 SPEEDS ARE. WHEN COMING TO A STOP HEARING A CLUNK IN THE DRIVE TRAIN HAD SAME ISSUE WITH 2016 SILVERADO CHEVROLET REPLACED CONTROL MODULE AND CALIBRATED GEARS ON 2016 BUT WHEN I TOLD THEM ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE 2017 I WAS TOLD THIS IS NORMAL SO WHY WOULD THEY WASTE TIME AND MONEY TRYING TO REPAIR AN ISSUE IN THEIR WORDS IS NOT AN ISSUE IS BEYOND ME, THIS NEEDS TO BE RECALL ITEM BEFROE MECHANICAL FAILURES RESUT IN INJURIES OR LOSS OF LIVES.Ĩ SPEED TRANSMISSION SHIFT VERY ROUGH FROM 1-2 AND 2-1 GEARS, FREQUENTLY HESITATES, MAKES CLUNKING SOUND.

2017 chevrolet transmission recalls drivers#
Of course, since a TSB isn’t sent out to owners like a recall would be, many Silverado drivers are left in the dark. According to the TSB (16-NA-404), the cure is to reprogram the transmission’s computer, the transmission control module (TCM). *This is a Custom double cab with a 5.3, but this website didn’t give that as a trim choice.”Ĭhevrolet released a technical service bulletin (TSB) regarding the issue.

(It had other problems, but not this one.) This problem makes me want to sell this truck and go with a Ram instead. I had a Colorado for 13 years that had no problems of this kind. This is all very frustrating and really disappoints me. If it downshifts to make the pass, it shifts hard and hesitates.

Once it gets hot, it doesn’t have this problem unless I really punch it to try to pass some slow poke. It still hesitates when cold and even lukewarm. They said it would work itself out, but it might take up to 12 or 14,000 miles! I’ve now had it for 9 months and driven it for 13,600 miles. I took it back to the dealer, they looked it over, and told me the same thing–it’s a common problem. I read a bunch of online reviews on various websites and found out this is a common problem. On, one owner writes, “This truck hesitates when accelerating and it shifts hard in both upshifts and downshifts. The unit has several issues such as banging into gear, delayed shifts and an illuminated check engine light. There aren’t many complaints about the base transmission, but owners everywhere are up in arms over the 8-speed. The 2017 Silverado was offered with a trio of engine options, along with either a 6-speed or 8-speed automatic transmission.
