2015 Chevrolet Silverado Powertrain & Transmission Problems

TAKATA RECALL I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT APPROXIMATELY 75 MPH WHEN I WAS ACCELERATING OVER AN OVERPASS THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE WITH AN ASSOCIATED HUMMING NOISE AND AFTER ABOUT TWO SECONDS AFTER THEACH VIBRATION STARTED A VERY LOUD AND VIOLENT BANGING SOUND CAME FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE THAT WAS FELT FROM THE INSIDE. I IMMEDIATELY STEERED TO THE HIGHWAY SHOULDER, BECAUSE I COULD SEE METAL CHUNKS TUMBLING FROM BEHIND THE VEHICLE FROM MY REAR VIEW MIRROR. ONCE I WAS ON THE SHOULDER I LOOKED UNDER THE TRUCK TO SEE THE DRIVE SHAFT HAD COME APART FROM THE TRANSMISSION WITH THE U-JOINT STILL CONNECTED ON THE TRANSMISSION SIDE. THE DRIVE SHAFT WAS MANGLED ON THE TRANSMISSION SIDE, AND THE EXHAUST WAS CRUSHED WITH HOLES IN IT. THE TOOL ROAD AUTHORITY STOPPED TO RENDER AID AND KINDLY TOWED MY VEHICLE OFF THE TOOL ROAD TO THE NEAREST GAS STATION. IMAGES WERE TAKEN OF THE DAMAGE, BUT WE'RE TO BIG IN SIZE TO UPLOAD.

TRANSMISSION CANNOT FIND GEARS WHEN COASTING OR SLOWING DOWN AND THEN HITTING ACCELERATOR. VERY DANGEROUS WHEN IT HESITATES FOR SECONDS BEFORE FINDING THE RIGHT GEAR AND GOING, OR IT STAYS IN TOO HIGH OF A GEAR INSTEAD OF DOWNSHIFTING TO ACCELERATE AND RATTLES. HAPPENS EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE TRUCK, AND MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE. GM DOESN'T CARE!

HAD BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE 2 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE THAT TRANSMISSION WAS SHAKING/SHIMMYING/SPUTTERING. WAS PULLING ONTO A COUNTY HIGHWAY OFF OF A RESIDENTIAL TYPE ROAD (AFTER PICKING UP GRANDDAUGHTER FROM SCHOOL - SHE WAS IN TRUCK) AND TRUCK BOGGED DOWN & WOULDN'T GO. INTERSECTION IS AT TOP OF HILL AND AROUND A CORNER. WAS CLEAR WHEN I STARTED PULLING OUT, BUT WAS ALMOST HIT BY ONCOMING TRUCK BEFORE I GOT MY TRUCK TO GET ON ACROSS THE INTERSECTION. HAS BEEN IN SHOP TWICE TO FIX IT. FIRST TIME TO DOUBLE TRANSMISSION FLUSH. THAT DIDN'T WORK. NEXT TIME A FEW WEEKS LATER, A TECHNICIAN HOOKED UP A COMPUTER TO MY TRUCK SO HE COULD MANUALLY SHIFT GEARS WHILE RIDING WITH ME. HE FELT THE ISSUES AND SAID HE SAW SEVERAL PROBLEMS. DEALERSHIP ENDED UP REPLACING TORQUE CONVERTER. ALSO REPLACED VLOM MANIFOLD - WHATEVER THAT IS? THAT'S WHAT IT SAYS ON WORK ORDER. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS. I BELIEVE THERE ARE BULLETINS OUT ON THIS TRUCK'S TRANSMISSION ALREADY. I HAVE TALKED TO OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM.

HAS A VIBRATION AT 65, TURNS INTO A BAD SHAKE AT 75.

I PURCHASED A NEW 2015 CHEVY SILVERADO 2500HD DURAMAX CREW CAB LT FROM AUTO NATION OF PEMBROKE PINES FLORIDA AND AT ABOUT A WEEK OR TWO OF DRIVING IT I STARTED TO NOTICE A BUMP/CLUNK FROM THE REAR OF THE TRUCK JUST AS I WOULD COME TO A COMPLETE STOP. IT ALSO DOES IT JUST APON A STRONG ACCELERATION. THE VEHICLE HAD ABOUT 500 MILES ON IT WHEN I STARTED TO NOTICE THIS. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE FIRST OIL CHANGE AT ABOUT 4K MILES AND TOLD THE SERVICE GUY WHAT WAS GOING ON. HE SAID THEY WOULD TEST DRIVE IT. WHEN I PICKED IT UP HE SAID THEY COULD FIND ANYTHING WRONG. I THINK IT'S THE SLIP YOKE STICKING AND NEEDS TO BE LUBRICATED OR REPLACED. SOME OF THE OLDER TRUCK HAD THIS ISSUE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2015 CHEVROLET SILVERADO. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS SHIFTED INTO PARK, IT WOULD SHIFT OUT OF PARK INDEPENDENTLY AND ROLL APPROXIMATELY 2 TO 6 INCHES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED AS A NORMAL OCCURRENCE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,500. UPDATED 8/19/15*CN THE CONSUMER FILED A REPORT WITH MASSACHUSETTS' LEMON LAW. THE CONSUMER HAS INJURED HIS KNEE UPON EXITING THE VEHICLE WHILE IT WAS MOVING FORWARD BUT, THE GEAR WAS IN PARK AND NO KEY IN THE IGNITION. UPDATED 9/30/2015*JS
