ON 02/27/2019 I PURCHASED A 2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500 AT COLE CHEVROLET, CADILLAC IN BLUEFIELD, WEST VIRGINIA I NOTICED THAT IT WAS MAKING NOISE WHEN I DROVE IT AND A VIBRATION WITH THE TRUCK. I THOUGHT IT WAS THE ROAD SURFACE CAUSING THE NOISE IT WAS A LOT WORSE AT 70 MPH. THE MORE I DROVE THE WORSE IT GOT. I GOT TO LOOKING AT THE TIRES I NOTICED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE HAD HIGH AND LOW SPOTS ON THE OUTSIDE EDGE. ON 06/27/2019 I TOOK THE TRUCK IN FOR A OIL CHANGE AND TIRE ROTATION AT THE DEALERSHIP THAT I BOUGHT IT AT, I SHOWED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT END WAS OUT OF ALIGNMENT AND THEY DID ALIGNMENT ON THE TRUCK AND THEY ORDERED A NEW TIRE. I DROVE THE TRUCK A LITTLE OVER 600 MILES, I STARTED GETTING THE NOISE AND VIBRATION AGAIN. I GOT TO CHECKING THE DRIVER SIDE TIRE AND NOTICED THE SAME THING ON THE INSIDE EDGE. ON 07/24/2019 I TOOK THE TRUCK BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER AND TOLD THEM THAT THE SAME THING IS HAPPING WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE TIRE. THE NEW TIRE WAS IN AND THEY CHANGED IT. CHECK THE ALIGNMENT AGAIN AND TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE TIRES THAT THE TIRES ARE SOFT CAUSING THE WEAR. I LEARNED LATER THE THE PROBLEM WITH THE TIRES IS CALLED CUPPING. I CALLED GOODYEAR TIRE AND TALKED WITH THEM ABOUT THE PROBLEM. GOODYEAR HAD ME TAKE IT TO ONE OF THEIR SERVICE CENTERS TO CHECK MY TRUCK. GOODYEAR SERVICE CENTER TOLD ME THAT THE FRONT END IS IN ALIGNMENT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CUPPING ON THE TIRES IS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. THEY ADVISED ME THAT THE SAME THING WILL HAPPEN AGAIN IF I PUT NEW TIRES ON, IF I DIDN'T GET THE MECHANICAL PROBLEM FIXED. I CALLED GM ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE THEM CHECK IT. I DID ON 09/09/2019 I TOLD THEM I WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE STEERING LOOSING TRACTION GO AROUND CURVES WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG

AT APPROXIMATELY 15,000 MILES I WAS PARKED IN A YARD AND BLOCKED IN SO I BACKED UP ON A SMALL HILL AND THE TRUCK JERKED BADLY FOR ABOUT 15 FEET I THOUGHT IT WAS THE POSITIVE TRACTION TRYING TO CATCH ON THE GRASS BUT FURTHER INTO DRIVING THE TRUCK I NOTICED IT HAPPENING MORE AND MORE IN FORWARD OR REVERSE AND IN SHIFTING INTO GEARS ARE AT TIMES HARD. THE LAST INCIDENT I WAS TAKING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT TODAY AND AROUND 40 MPH IT HAD A JERK/ HARD SHIFT, MY TRUCK IS A DAILY DRIVER AND I HAVE 44,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. I AM A HARDWORKING AMERICAN THAT PURCHASED THIS $40,000 TRUCK FOR DEPENDABILITY BECAUSE I DO A LOT OF DRIVING AND WOULD LOVE FOR SOME ONE TO PUT A STOP TO THIS NONSENSE THERE ARE ALREADY SO MANY COMPLAINTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION JERKING AND SNATCHING AT RANDOM TIME CAN YOU ALL PLEASE MAKE GM RECALL THESE AND BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE JUNK TRANSMISSIONS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHEVROLET SILVERADO 1500. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXPERIENCING TRANSMISSION FAILURE. AFTER THE CONTACT WENT BACK AND FORTH WITH THE MANUFACTURER AND DEALER (BILL CRAMER CHEVROLET BUICK GMC, 2251 W 23RD ST, PANAMA CITY, FL 32405, (850) 250-1403), THEY SETTLED ON TRADING THE CONTACT'S 2015 SILVERADO FOR A 2018 SILVERADO WITH THE SAME TRANSMISSION FAILURE. THE CONTACT RESEARCHED THAT CHEVROLET WAS SERVED WITH A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT FOR THE TRANSMISSION. THE MANUFACTURER WANTED THE CONTACT TO GO THROUGH THE SAME PROCESS FOR DIAGNOSING THE 2018 MODEL AS HE DID WITH THE 2015 MODEL. THE CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER AND HAVE A SENIOR ADVISOR FROM THE MANUFACTURER CALL HIM BACK. THE CONTACT WANTED TO KNOW IF HE SHOULD FILE UNDER THE LEMON LAW WITH HIS STATE'S ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 0.

BOUGHT THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW WITH 9 MILES ON IT. (PREVIOUSLY DROVE A RAM 1500). MY FIRST GM PRODUCT I'VE BOUGHT IN MY LIFE AND I'M DISGUSTED! I'M A VICTIM OF THE 'TRANSMISSION HARSH DOWNSHIFT SYNDROME'. SLOWING DOWN NORMALLY IS CLUNKY, NOTHING SMOOTH ABOUT THIS 'AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION' 6 SPEED BTW. WHEN SLOWING DOWN ABRUPTLY (IN STOP N GO TRAFFIC), TRANSMISSION SLAMS INTO GEAR WHILE DOWNSHIFTING, FEELS LIKE I'M BEING REARENDED. TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A TOTAL OF 6 TIMES, THEY SAY 'OPERATING AS DESIGNED'....YEA RIGHT. MY RAM NEVER DID THIS...TALKED TO CORPORATE ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS... 'THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO' IS WHAT THEY TELL ME. POOR DESIGN, HATE THE TRUCK, DISGUSTED WITH GM. I'M NOW MAKING DOUBLE PAYMENTS TO GET OUT FROM UNDER IT (BECAUSE I'M UPSIDE DOWN FROM BUYING BRAND NEW AND GM THINKS SO MUCH OF THEIR PRODUCT TO CHARGE AN ARM AND A LEG AND MY FIRST BORN) TO TRADE IT IN ON EITHER A FOREIGN CAR OR BACK TO RAM. GM DOESN'T CARE, RICH BILLIONAIRES CRAPPING ON THE MIDDLE CLASS, TOO MANY 'PENCIL PUSHERS' CREATING 'NEW DESIGNS' TO BE FUEL EFFICIENT AND IMPRESS THEIR BOSSES TO MAKE THEIR BONUS. NEWS FLASH....WE BUY TRUCKS NOT BE FUEL EFFICIENT, BUT TO BE MANLY AND HAUL THINGS AND GO OFF ROAD AND CARY A FEW PASSENGERS WHILE WE'RE AT IT!! SAVE YOURSELF THE HASSLE AND DONT BUY A GM PRODUCT.
