1ST TO 2ND GEAR SHIFTS ARE HESITANT AND ROUGH, SOMETIMES DANGEROUS CAUSING TRUCK TO JUMP FORWARD. USUALLY IN PARKING LOTS. IF STOPPED ON A DOWNHILL ; I TAKE FOOT OFF BRAKE THEN THE TRUCK WILL ROLL LIKE ALL CARS DO, AND THEN WHEN I STEP ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE TRUCK ENGINE WILL REV UP AS IF IN NEUTRAL THEN SLAM INTO GEAR CAUSING ME TO NEARLY REAR END THE CARS IN FRONT ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS

TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY, HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED SEVERAL TIMES, THEY FLUSHED THE TRANS 2 OR 3 TIMES THEN FINALLY REBUILT THE TRANSMISSION WITH AROUND 60,000 MILES. NOW I'M AT 70,000 MILES AND HAVING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AGAIN. IT SURGES BETWEEN GEARS, SOMETIMES FEELS LIKE I'VE BEEN REAR ENDED AND SOMETIMES SEEMS TO SKIP A GEAR AND BE IN NEUTRAL FOR A FEW SECONDS BEFORE CLUCKING INTO GEAR.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARD INTO GEAR WHEN SLOWING DOWN AND EXTREMELY HARD WHEN TOWING 2,000LB EMPTY TRAILER, CURRENTLY AT DEALERSHIP TO HAVE NEW TORQUE CONVERTER AND PUMP INSTALLED. DEALERSHIP STATED NO METAL SHAVINGS IN TRANSMISSION THEY BELIEVE. WHEN ACCELERATING ENGINE RPMS INCREASE WHILE VEHICLE SPEED DECREASES. STEREO CONSTANTLY DISCONNECTS FROM WIFI WHEN STREAMING MUSIC. WIFI WILL CONTINUE TO WORK FOR OTHER DEVICES. VOICE COMMANDS WORK 80%ISH OF THE TIME.

THE TRANSMISSION ON THIS TRUCK HAS NOT BEEN RIGHT FROM THE BEGINNING. WHEN STARTING IN THE MORNING IT WILL DO ONE OF THREE THINGS: SURGES AND TRANSMISSION SKIPS, HESITATE AND THEN RACE OR JUMP AHEAD, OR CHUNK AND THUNK LIKE IT REALLY DOESN'T WANT TO GO TO WORK AND SHIFTS HARD WHEN IT DOES. I KEEP ASKING WHEN GM WILL TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND I KEEP GETTING THE RUN AROUND. I HAVE BROUGHT IT IN 3X, HAVE HAD DIAGNOSTICS RUN, TRANSMISSION FLUSHED AND OF COURSE IT HAS NOT HELPED. I AM NOW BRINGING IT BACK TO CHEVY DEALER AND NOW THEY SAY I HAVE TO DO THE NEXT STEP ACCORDING TO GM WHICH IS PUT IN A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER. I BOUGHT A BEAUTIFUL TRUCK THAT RUNS LIKE CRAP AND I AM VERY FRUSTRATED.
