There is a class action law suit being initiated against GM for these faulty 8-speeds:

I own a 2016 Sierra SLT that I purchased brand new. I've had these problems since the truck was new. Took the truck back to GMC multiple times and the problem was never fixed.
I contacted Cohen Milstein by email and requested I be listed in the lawsuit. They said someone will contact me shortly to gather more information about my experience.
If you are having problems with your 8-speed, I suggest you reach out:
