Chevrolet Silverado 1500

"The torque converter failed and pumped steel into the transmission causing a failure of both"

"At about 80000 miles the transmission started jerking , and making odd noises. The dealer said our torque converter was failing and we had to replace the transmission for 6000 dollars at a dealer"

"Transmission began slipping in 2022 and the dealership told me three times over the next year that they could find nothing wrong. While driving one day, the car just stopped. I had to have the entire transmission replaced"

"Ever since buying the 2017 CHEVROLET Silverado, I've had questions about the transmission because it would downshift HARD into second gear. I mentioned it to the Chevrolet service department but they didn't seem to be too concerned. The issue continued. To make sure I was caring properly for the transmission, I would have it serviced every 50,000 miles ... more frequently than recommended. After a transmission service at 100,000 miles, we took off on a long road trip. At 107,000 miles near Dallas, TX (thousands of miles from home), it became evident that the transmission was not functioning properly. Thankfully, I was able to get it to a CHEVROLET dealership in the Dallas area ... and the transmission went out completely. They couldn't even move it out of their parking lot for a test drive. Of course, the transmission was out of warranty. The remedy was a transmission replacement for $5,800. Interestingly, the dealership where I took it "happened" to have the exact transmission on hand so they could replace mine quickly. Why would a dealership carry an inventory of replacement transmissions unless that particular one had a history of going out? I asked my Chevrolet service manager (back home, Asheville, NC) about this particular transmission ... were they discovering problems with them? He didn't answer definitively but said "maybe you should think about buying the extended warranty next time." I responded, "maybe I should think about buying a Ford next time." This sucks. I've NEVER had a transmission go out in 58 years of vehicle ownership. I think CHEVROLET has a problem with this particular transmission and is covering it up."

"Pump failure in the transmission out of nowhere at 115000 miles. CHEVROLET was no help, and it was just out of warranty. I rarely tow anything bigger than a small boat or utility trailer so there was no reason it should have failed this quickly. I needed a full transmission replacement which took a couple of months"

"Happened about 1000 miles after buying. Rough shifting. Replaced transmission."

"Transmission had what I felt was a factory defect. The torque converter was thin, it warped and flaked pieces of metal, causing the transmission to quit. Had it rebuilt with a thicker better torque converter. On a different note I went through two transmissions on my Avalanche do to a pair of lines that rub on the metal and wore a hole in the transmission line."

"The transmission problems with the 6 speed automatic are well documented. Chevrolet issued multiple technical service bulletins regarding it. Yet the information was not shared with consumers."

"Wireless charger doesn't work on newer IPhones"

"The touch screen started to have random "ghost" touches (I was not touching it, but it acted as though I was). Ultimately, its ability to detect touch died. The unit had to be replaced at around $800."

"The touch screen has several dead spots for selecting pre-determined channels. This makes using Sirius radio nearly impossible. I ended up having to cancel Sirius as it was so cumbersome to use without the pre-determined settings."

"When shifting gears, sometimes there is a loud noise and a rough shift like having difficulty going into a different gear."

"Since the vehicle was new it never up or down shifted properly. Several computer software updates helped but I had to seek these out from multiple complaints to the dealership and to date while better the vehicle still shifts irregularly."
