Nothing is perfect, nor will it ever be. My past 2 vehicles were a 12 Lexus GX460, V8 body on frame SUV, it was at the dealer numerous times for a few issues, next was a 17 Audi Q7, 70k vehicle, again

I have 23,600 miles on a 2019 Trail Boss.. no joke.. and backing out of my driveway to drive downhill to the red light by my house.. when I come to a complete stop it feels like someone drives into the back of my truck.. as it downshifts. It’s horrible.

Seems like after any good runs past a quarter mile of usual driving then coming to a stop the transmission jerks pretty hard right before the stop. It’s very light driving as I drive the speed limit. Drove it a little faster and braked normal and same thing. Hard downshift on the transmission. 

 

Anyone else having this issue?

hopefully it stays consistent because before when I took my trucks for repairs it never does it at the dealer. 

 

Truck has about 5,000 miles all light driving. I’ve had it for a little over 4 months now.

I just bought a 2019 Silverado LT z71 just hit 1000 miles and I am having this same issue. Have not took it back to the dealer yet. Seems like this has just started within the past week or so.

I have just over 400 miles on mine and I have the hard downshift. Really annoying. Hopefully it will start learning. Glad I night the extended warranty.

Hello, 

has anyone gotten this issue resolved? My husband came home with a brand new 2019 Trail Boss and I feel the downshift when we are driving city miles. It’s HORRIBLE we have taken it back to the dealer, they put well over 100 miles on it and said they couldn’t replicate the problem. It feels like someone hits us (softly) when he is coming to a stop. This is an expensive payment to be having this issue! If someone can please point me in the right direction it would be greatly appreciated

Since I'm coming from 14 silverado after almost 5 years driving, and 100k miles, I don't care that much if the transmission kick a little bit too. By the way, I felt couple of kicks after 1000 miles too ?

Yes, I paid $60k for my new 19 truck, but to be honest with you, I didn't forget that I'm driving a truck, not a Mercedes. Of course, I could buy some sort of a luxury car with this money, and most probably, not to have these issues. I'm looking for other capabilities in my truck that Mercedes and other luxury cars don't have them. 

I had the same feeling you have, when I saw issues with my 14 one. Crazy problems, such as, freezing infotainment system for hours when I was using HD radio, noises in the dashboard, a lot of recalls, ... 

Chevy took care of them gradually. Don't forget we all bought the first series of these trucks, and may take time until all bugs to be fixed. 

Appearance of the truck is something that everyone has his/her opinion about it. Personally, I love my truck's appearance, and I get a lot of compliments about it. 

I had brand new 2009 Tacoma and I was at the dealer every week for 2 years. I gave up finally, and tarde it in with 34K miles on it. Look at major safety recalls in New 2019 Rams. Ford hasn't change the truck that much in past five years, but look at the complaints and safety recalls on it that it's still coming. I've had past 4 generations of Silverado trucks, and have never been disappointed seriously. 

I said these just to chill you down ? 

Sorry but paying that much for a truck and having the downshift kickback is not okay. My husband has a 2016 and never had this issue. He traded it in for a 2019 Trail Boss just to have this happen. Brand new truck and it feels like someone hits us when we are coming to a stop. Chevy really dropped the ball here. Like you said it’s not a car but it’s also not supposed to drive like shit

Hello did did you continue having problems? If so have you taken the truck in? We are having the same issuers and they’re not going away

I have a 2019 chevy crew cab with 3300 miles on it and I too am experiencing same with the transmission having a harsh downshift at times especially going down hill in texas.  Also with the tachometer jumping up and down between 1100 rpm to 1400 rpm like if someone was trying to engage the cruise control somewhat going downhill.  Ive taken the truck to be serviced and they pulled a code out which had to do with a wiring harness/sensor i ws told.  not sure who to believe because the truck still does it.  sadly disapointed from a lifelong chevy owner..... hopefully GM can send out an update to correct.

I have a 2019 Sierra with the 5.3L, 8 sp. It started doing the same thing after about 1000 miles. I have 2200 miles on it now, but it doesn't do it all the time. I never know as I'm coming to a stop if someone hit me, or it just downshifted. it would be great to get a straight answer from someone at GM. Like someone said earlier, you pay this much for a truck and you shouldn't have these kinds of issues.

      Doors lock and mirrors fold in while driving

      By BIGBOYS · Posted

      I have a 2015 Silverado and sometimes I can not get in to the truck. I use the key to unlock the driver door. Something is locking the truck when I unlock it, last night I left the truck open and this morning it was locked with the mirrors folded in. This happens while driving so it is now a safety issue. I reach down for the folding button and they open, then they close again.  Any advice, thank you,   Ed

      Wow I'm in a pickle. (Broke down truck) and a story.

      By Atlas · Posted

      tl; dr I've now reached the 6th floor of hell. I'm chronicling my journey for my morning readers.   Pulling the top of the intake apart was moderately easy but it involved a lot of parts, connections, and minutae. I was preparing for the new fuel lines to arrive ("nut and bolt kit" it's called). The fuel line connections are notched and held in place by the manifold and a metal plate with a T27 screw.   It's on the back of the intake, under the firewall, with little clearance, and two hard metal fuel lines in the way. I was using Franken-tools (weird combinations of 1/4 inch ratchet with/without an extension, with a bit holder for my T27) to get in there. One of my sockets and bits fell off and has yet to emerge on the floor. I lost a second setup and that's when I almost started throwing tools. But that was the point at which I had gotten traction on the Torx head, and it promptly stripped. No more traction.   I started humming "1-877-kars-4-kids" because I was about at that point. You know what? I'm $1500 into this thing and I can make it disappear just as quickly. This isn't fun anymore. I had spent a lot of time already "tidying" around the engine bay: Fixing all the "someone's been here before!" BS. The truck has been exclusively dealer- and shop- serviced and I'm reminded of why I never let other people work on my cars unless absolutely necessary.   Speaking of dealer service. This truck has a 1" stack of records going back to 1995. I put them all in an excel spreadsheet, date/mileage/description.   The CPI spider has been replaced 4 times in 85k miles. The EGR? Another 4. Multiple, multiple O2 sensors. One Cat. 4? Sets of plugs and wires, and I swear half the stack is diagnosis paperwork for "misfire, runs rough, extended crank, dies at stoplights".   GM was producing some proper crap back then. And it was still well within the era of brittle/crappy plastic. (Windows 95 was released the same month this truck was sold new, we HAD the technology!!)   There (was) a plastic shroud around the evaporator core and HVAC fan in the engine bay. I noticed a chunk of it missing so I poked at it some more and it literally shattered. Touched it some more and pieces were crumbling off. Had a good laugh. Clearly whatever plastic garbage they were using had broken down over 30 years and was literally turning to dust. That was a good half hour of using a shop vac to remove the rest of it.   Back to it.   I was going to give up for the evening but then decided I'm already level 10 pissed off at the stripped screw: G* D* it, give me my tools back -- and my JOY. We'll do this the hard way: The whole intake is coming off.   Blazer won Round II. After finally finding and accessing the 12 intake bolts and using a pry bar to unseat it from the heads, it popped loose in an explosion of gunk and grime raining down into open ports. Awesome.   6 times I reminded myself: Be careful of the temperature sender on the front of the intake.   YEAH, I forgot again and snapped it clean off in the removal. Add another $20 to the ever-growing list of new parts this thing is consuming.   The shame is, long before removing the intake, I had changed the oil in prep for Tuesday's momentous fuel line replacement that was going to be the magic fix and I'd have a running Blazer to tool around in this next weekend. The intake removal, including raining gunk, also gushed dirty coolant all over the valley. Of course it did. Welp, there goes another $35.   I now need an intake gasket set, bolt set, coolant temp sensor, another 5 quarts of oil, some RTV. Don't worry, I've already got 3 new jugs of Dexcool and a thermostat waiting. I'll fill it with clean water first to get it running, dump it, and then add the Dex later on in case... well, let's not go there. I'm only tearing this down once, next time the truck is going on Marketplace for FREE.   Oh, and I'm going to need vacuum hose for all the stupid connections placed at the rear of the engine which have since disintegrated. Come on, GM....tell me you don't do that anymore?   Oh, and the ears on the distributor where the cap screws down are both cracked. I mean, why not put a new distributor in it too. You get a distributor, YOU get a distributor, Everyone gets a new distributor!   This truck isn't out of the woods yet...I'm already questioning how much more time I'm willing to sink in.

      Bent valve in 2025 GMC Canyon Denali - Requires engine swap at 14K miles

      By William Aldrich · Posted

      NewDude, thank you for the suggestions!    I did follow up and the dealer indicates he has an open CX case and is working with DPAC (Dealer Parts Assistance Center).   Per the dealer, GM has had a quality spill and is not providing an update for when a replacement engine will be available.
