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.

      Oil Consumption

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      So speaking of oil consumption with my L8T as I just changed the oil yesterday and made the switch over to Amsoil SS 0W-40 from the Mobil 1  5W-30 Truck and SUV I just dropped out. 2900 miles on that oil as well as  68 hours on that oil ( so used to equipment with an hour meter and that becomes valuable information to compare with others as well ). Once again the oil use was so very little, I am going to say it dropped under 1/16 of an inch on the dipstick. No towing was done and this interval was from early spring until now.    One interesting item to note is that going by the 5 quart jugs I was using before from Mobil, it was showing that I was putting in 8 US quarts to bring it to full if not slightly over the full mark according to their jug markings. Granted I did allow more drain time this time and in part because the engine oil was only lukewarm as I started it and let it idle and not for long enough to get the oil itself hot ( the engine was up to operating temp ). The oil in that state just seemed to take forever for it to drip out but not only at the drain plug but at the oil filter housing as well, perhaps I had never quite gotten all the oil out before and I could have still waited longer but as it was I waited well over 3 hours. I think next time if I have the time I will do an experiment by dropping the oil and lets say leave the pan under it for 15 minutes, then switch to another pail and let it drip out overnight and measure how much more oil comes out. So this time and yes I ended up getting it just over the full mark as I was experimenting with trying to get the level to the add mark after I had run it and then waited some and then added a bit and waited for a certain amount of time for it to settle to the add mark. I very well may not have waited long enough for that experiment but I got to the add mark, then dumped in a full quart and waited some and checked and then waited some more and it crept up more ... and then finally oops, it was slightly over full some hours later when it really had settled all it would. I find this engine sure takes time for the last bit of oil that gets poured in to finally make its way into the crank case. I can only guess at how much too much I added as per maybe a 1/10th of a quart. I had poured in 8.5 quarts going by the quart containers as per 8 quarts and 16 us ounces. I was shocked at how much this was off compared to the prior oil changes and if those larger jugs and they are not marked accurately enough or they contain slightly more than what they say, or the drain time factor made that much of a difference. But I know on this forum there have been others who have said they have put well over 8 quarts in their L8T and now I have also going by the Amsoil true quart containers. Its a confusing convoluted mess up here in Canada with some oil manufactures packaging is in true US quarts, some is also in true US quarts containers on an even number of quarts but also marked in liters which becomes the odd ball volume of a fractional amount of liters. Then there is the Liters only containers, no US markings as its a true metric container and only measured in Liters to an even number of Liters. But remember we used to have Imperial Gallons and Imperial quarts as well !.

      Holy smokes. Clearly not a deal on that truck. I just mean in general, matte or painted trim is becoming more normative than chrome, but I know the Black Optics packages on various vehicles are being sold as uplevel trims. They look really good, but sheesh. It's just paint and plastic.

      I Wouldn't Know Where to Begin    Oh I know where I would begin but I'm just one of over eight billion people on this rock. Eight billion versions of where the goal post is. How large it should be. How far to kick from. What ball is the right ball. Elevation. Age.....are you getting the point? It isn't about disagreeing with one individual. It's about agreeing only with one individual. One's self.   Agreement comes when multiple people hold the same point already. THAT is the goal of an education. Building the Social Contract. That thing that allows us to all read this sentence. We've agreed on the alphabet and how to arrange those letters into words we agree upon whose meanings hold true for everyone entering into that contract. Those words arranged into a sentence form an idea and several sentences strung together in a paragraph convey an argument for or against or inform the reader of a state, condition or perhaps reveal a things nature. Paint a word picture. Make oneself known.    This contract is not limited to words although they are often explained by words. Things like numbers and their usefulness. Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Music, Art and so on.    The frequency of middle C (C4) is 261.63 Hz is a first principle. We build on that to make music we all can enjoy even if we all can not compose or play. You don't have to master it to make it enjoyable and useful.    So why is the Beginning so difficult? Why is agreement so elusive?   Everyone "Signs" the contract (when receiving that education in obtaining it)  but fewer and fewer in this world have any intention of living by that contract. They find exploiting that contract more advantageous. Disruption. With intent. Without intent. In Ignorance. In your face. With a double dog dare you. With a hold my beer. In resistance to that contract and in spite how it looks on us. It permeates the very air we breath.    In this way the contract is subject to advantage. Abide by it when it serves you, disregard it when it doesn't. Unpredictable and self-serving. Corrosive.....Toxic........   It says a lot about a persons character to disregard the contract, the truth, first principles. None of it good.        ********************************************************   https://medicine.yale.edu/news-article/character-vs-personality-who-we-are-and-who-we-aspire-to-be/   Just an interesting article.

      It costs $5,250 for the Yukon Nightfall option (black wheels, emblems and illuminated black GMC grill badge). What a "deal".

      By Ralph Reale · Posted

      I keep getting the above error message on my 25 Sierra.  If I reset the infotainment unit (via the phone hang up button) it will work again for a day or 2.   But I dont want to do have to reset  all the time. Works fine in my 2023 Corvette. On both vehicles I connect wirelessly.   I have a Google Pixel 10 Pro XL, phone is up to date.  Any Ideas.  See attached
