I was stopped on a hillside with engine running, shift lever in park, and the truck started to roll backwards. the truck computer put on the emergency brakes. i tried this three different times with the same problem of it rolling backwards.

Vehicle shifts harshly making control questionable at times. i went to accelerate around a vehicle lost all power until it found a gear. someone will get hurt because of this truck especially on slippery winter roads. been to the dealership 3 times no fix. please help

Every morning since vehicle was new has 2600 on it now when cold i pull out onto street when vehicle shifts from first to second gear the shift shift slips and flares like it s in neutral and vehicle will hesitate slow down while it's waiting to get into second gear, this is a safety issue because their is no forward movement during this and possibly could cause an accident because vehicle won't move quick enough, after shift 2-3 is perfect and 3-4 will do same thing slip and flare, i've been told this is normal but i am a automotive tech and have been for over thirty years there is definitely something wrong with trans but gm won't admit problem this is wide spread as there are the same other complaints on this website.

When putting vehicle in drive from park it jumps forward even with foot on the brake. when going from reverse to drive it feels like the vehicle is not in gear and then engages and then the vehicle makes a clunk noise and abruptly jumps forward. there is also a issue when going from first to second when accelerating and the same when downshifting. the transmission on this vehicle is very erratic in nature, you never know what it is going to do every time you drive it. this has been happening since the first 100 miles and i now have 8600 and still happening. i have taken it to the dealer and they stated they could not get it to repeat the issue even after letting it sit outside in 20 degree weather to cool everything down.

Seemed as if the car would almost slip in and out gear when diving approx. 30-40 mph. i then noticed the check engine light came on and flashed engine reduction and seemed to lose some power. i took it in to the dealer, 2 days later they replaced r&r camshaft position actuator magnet intake.the next day after the truck back. i started the truck it put it in reverse and the engine stopped running but it seemed as if it the engine was still running as when you use the remote to start the truck, after the 4th try the truck stayed running but the engine reduction warning had lit up again. the truck has been back at the dealers for 6 days trying to figure out the problem

2019 silverado high country.124 miles the engine light came on. transmission would not shift out of a lower gear. i was driving 45 mph and had to pull over and have the vehicle towed. the vehicle is currently sitting at dan vaden pooler georgia.

Merging into 70 to 80 mph traffic on interstate i95 my truck stalled abruptly to 45 mph and at 3000 rpm would not shift out of the lower gear it went it. i had to merge quickly to the emergency lane with on coming traffic doing all they could to get around around me. had to have the vehicle towed.

When cold, the transmission has a hard slip when shifting between 1st and 2nd gear. usually happens in the morning when i am leaving my house. on icy/snow covered road it will cause the rear wheels to lose traction. thus creating a safety hazard for me, other vehicles or pedestrians on the roadway.

The 8 speed transmission sometimes gets hung in between gears or shifts very hard after it intermittently comes out of gear. this week, i went to cross a road on dry road conditions and the vehicle came out of gear, the engine revved and i was without a gear for 2-3 seconds, causing the oncoming traffic to be uncomfortably close by the time i regained power and was able to cross the road. there have been other times that i have been at a stop sign and i go to take off and the engine revs up as i hit the gas but it is not in gear and then abruptly snaps into gear, causing the tires to actually squeal. so this issue has happened when the truck is still moving and also when it was at a stop sign and not in motion,

On dec 16 i started my vehicle via the remote start. i then got in and my ecs, abs, traction control, steering and a lot more lights light up on the dashboard. i went to back it up i couldnt stop it unless i stuck my foot in it hard and i couldnt even steer it so i wouldnt wreck. called onstar they said to drive carefully but needs to be serviced within 7days. i parked it found another way to work and had my vehicle towed to the dealership. they said it was fixed and was just a battery issues and they fixed a couple of recalls. then on jan 26 not even a month later i was at the grocery store and started the truck, started backing up and the dashboard started lighting warnings and i couldnt get the truck to stop. finally with everything i had i got it to stop. i had to get the vehicle home cause it was sunday so i put on my flashers drove less than 30mph and got it home thank goodness without causing a wreck. had it towed back to another dealer and you know this dealer blamed the other dealer said they didnt do something right and they just reset the system. a week later, and again having it towed with my own insurance cause onstar wouldnt tow it to the dealer i wanted. i wasnt even offered a loaner vehicle.

Ongoing communication between local dealer and chevy/gm executive support team to fix shudder/vibration is not resolved. chevy states "normal characteristic" for this model vehicle, 2019 silverado 5.3, 8 speed. i vehemently disagree. gm approved torque converts swap and then problem got much worse. they now say, resolution is final, this in normal! pleaded with dealership general mgr, to contact district supervisors to re-evaluate. now they are going to run pico test and comparative analysis against 2 new truck on their lot. my truck only has 6k miles and should shake and vibrate, but it does and getting worse. harmonic distortion within cab getting worse. seems the more miles i put on it, the worse it gets. after drain and flush of transmission, per tsb, now also had delayed shifting, and having to brake hard when downshifting because it wants to lurch forward. frustrating at best, but safety and risk of injury are my immediate concern. need help!

2019 chevy silverado, 5.3l with 8-speed transmission. experienced intermittent transmission shudder at 32 - 44 mph. vehicle serviced per gm ts bulletin to drain and flush transmission, replace defective fluid with atf mobile 1 synthetic. this was done twice and problem got worse. now shudders constantly at 32-44 mph. dealer was informed by gm tech that this is a normal characteristic for this model. i disagree! my brand new truck with only 5k miles should not be shuddering and shaking. was told that the active fuel management system, 2 to 4 cylinder mode is suspect and affecting torque converter shudder. but this is normal? i have requested repair or replace or buy back and contacted gm corporate directly. gm senior advisor team has not yet contacted me. i have refused to drive it, and left it at the dealership until resolved. they gave me a loaner to drive in the meantime. appears lots of instances on the internet of similar issues and owners are not happy. why hasn't gm engineering fixed this problem or issued a recall yet? i am currently awaiting responses from gm / chevy for resolution. this is unacceptable.

Automatic transmission and brake pressure problems. the automation transmission jerks when accelerating from zero miles per hour or at low speeds. it can dramatically increase the rate of an incident due to the powerful movement that the movement does to the whole truck. you can then feel the whole truck sway back and fourth due to the impact. this "jerking" from the start can increase the risk of hitting anything in front of you because of it not being controlled properly when moving in close proximity areas such as high volume traffic areas, high counts of pedestrians walking across the street, parallel parking, and parking close to another car in front of you or any other type of object in front of you. the brake applications take an extreme amount of pressure to stop the vehicle at all given times. my truck is brand new and purchased on 9/18/2019.
