I'VE NOTICED SINCE THE FIRST MONTH OF OWNER SHIP BACK IN 2018, THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH MY TRANSMISSION. I OWN A 2017 CHEVY SILVERADO WITH THE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION. NOT ONLY HAD IT BEEN DISCOURAGING, IT'S DISTURBING, AND POSSIBLY EVEN UNSAFE. FROM 1ST TO 2ND GEAR THERE IS A HARD SHIFT IN THE TRANSMISSION. AND THE SAME PROBLEM IS FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR. THE VEHICLE MAKES A LOUD CLUNK AND IT JERKS SIMULTANEOUSLY. THE FACT I SPENT $50,000 ON THIS TRUCK BRAND NEW AND HAVE GOT NOWHERE WITH THE PROBLEM IS OUTRAGEOUS. I ALWAYS BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY CONCERN, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WILL MOVE IT RADICALLY. WHEN I BROUGHT IT TO MY DEALERSHIP THEY SAID IT WAS 'LEFT IN 4 WHEEL DRIVE' RIDICULOUS LIES. AND IF THAT WAS THE CASE WHY DID THEY 'UPDATE THE TRANSMISSION COMPUTER.' REGARDLESS, ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS FROM GM HAVE BEEN SWEPT UNDER THE RUG. THE PROBLEM HAS NEVER STOPPED. I'VE GOTTEN REPLIES FROM SERVICE REPRESENTATIVES AT THE DEALERSHIP SAYING 'THEY ALL DO THAT' OR 'IT'S FINE' SO TIRED OF GETTING NOWHERE. GM SHOULD BE REPLACING EVERY SINGLE 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION. I AM WORRIED THAT MY TRANSMISSION WILL FAIL AT ANY TIME. NEW VEHICLES SHOULD NOT DRIVE LIKE THIS.
