You can hear what's happening just before you stop in this video, pay attention to the stops. My truck is 1400 miles on it and makes this noise frequently. I took my truck to service at least 7 times and they are telling me it looks fine! Created a case to GM support, and they even don't reply back my calls, emails. Please double check before you buy your dream truck and get used to live with this noise until it breaks something in the engine or transmission. I'm so disappointed to buy :(

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

Tried different volume levels but the Audio just sounds like a lot of wind noise? 

On the 8 spd transmissions I had 3 in a row 16 / 17 and 18 with the 6.2 16 had a harsh downshift occasionally/ 17 was a bit worse/ 18 only did it rarely. This 19 with the 10spd seems to upshift/downshift very smoothly, it is the best of the 4 trucks so far.

Yes this is very disappointing. I buy a new silverado almost every year since 2005. Usually a crew and it always has a 5.3L Z71 4WD. Never ever had a problem with my trucks until now. Just purchased a 2020 LT Crew Z71 with a 5.3L ,4WD and the 8 speed transmission which now has 750 miles on it. Very disappointed in the operation of this transmission. When accelerating up through the gears the transmission is flawless. When coming to a stop, a few feet before the actual stop, it feels like the truck has a shutter as the transmission is shifting down and actually working against you stopping. In most cases if the radio is off I can hear it as well as feel it. If coming to a stop and I shift into neutral the stop is nice and smooth like a stop should be. Have 2 recalls for the truck but none for the transmission. What gives GM these trucks are not cheap. Maybe my next one will be Ford or Dodge!!!!!!!!

GM is still working on software ..  you should pass by the dealer and see if they have a software update.

 

I know on the 10 speed there is ....

I actually go in tomorrow to have the dealership buy back my truck because of this issue. GM told me don’t expect a fix or an update because we believe it’s working as intended. It’s all a joke, my service manager said they have used the update software line for 4 years now. Hopefully the 2500 2020 will treat me better.

Yes gm  customer service it would be great if you could help me. I've had my truck at the dealer 12 times 3 dealers 1st dealer flat out said they didnt have time. My opinion someone there should be with no job. 2nd dealer flushed transmission 3rd and best dealer yet I'm not sold on competent dealer has done everything from reprogramming it to last time torque converter. So after 12 trips I get my truck back yesterday now transmission temperature is at 230 degrees f and will not shift into 6th out of 5th and down shifts and never shifts back up. I have a bunch of videos of this whole adventure. I'm just before getting a lawyer all I want is what I paid 50 grand for a new truck to run and not be at dealer twice a week I've lost money from work and time .

All I can say, not everyone is having this issue, but the transmission is probably sensitive any slight defect. My 2019 5.3 8-spd did the very hard downshift just before stopping right at the 4000 mile mark, but only for two days. It then resolved itself before I could take it back to the dealer and has not done it since. It upshifts and downshifts smoothly and actually seems like a pretty good transmission.  I have 8000 miles on it now. The dealer did a tranny flush before I bought it.

 

I would be upset also if the problem kept up. It would be hard to live with. But the 8-speed transmission does work well as designed. Hope you get it straightened out.

Try getting the dealer to apply this fix:  #19-NA-244: Harsh 3-2 Downshift During Closed Throttle Coast Down When
Coming to a Stop- (Nov 1, 2019).  May help fix your problem.

Had a 2017 Silverado. Terrible issues with the six speed. They replace the torque converter, fluid flush, and all the other standard stuff. Worked good for a few months and started again. No help from the dealer. So I ended up taking a hit and traded it in on a new 2019 Sierra SLT X31.  That was October of 2019. Truck has been great until today.  Slamming hard in to first coming to a stop. So hard I thought we got rear ended.  I tried coasting to a stop with little break, BANG. Tried a harder stop, BANG. Have just over 5,000 on the clock. I check trans fluid temp, 179f. Well within tolerance. Fluid is full, and appears normal color. Yes, I'm pissed. Service was already closed. I have a trip coming up in four days. A vacation. It was already put off once due to COVID. WE really need to get away. I will be towing a 20 ft enclosed trailer hauling two Spyders. Did I say I was pissed?

I have a 2021 z71 RST 5.3 L V8 Silverado and I am having late downshifting problems. When I let my foot off the gas I continually feel a light engine downshift a few times until I come to a stop. Does anyone else have this issue?

Have had the same issue on my truck just right before I stop.  Had it serviced and updated months ago, seemed to hide the issue.  Just started up again a month or so ago.  Had my truck serviced this past Tuesday and mentioned it to him.  Shook his head and said yup, that's happening to them.  No true resolution at this time per him.

What year and package do you have on your truck?

      Intermittent no-code issues on 2022.5+ V8 trucks — what did the shop fail to capture?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Length/amount of data capture will be important to consider, sifting through 5 minutes of a data log can be enormous when it is stored in milliseconds. Being able to find the 'event' let alone decipher it.   Presumably the driver would notice something and hit a button to capture the 'window' of data. That window has to be large enough for the operator to recognize the event and react accordingly.    The data has to be able to be retrieved easily.   The data has to be able to be understood. Which is the biggest challenge, dealer techs won't even know what most of it is and would likely not even look at it if an owner brought it to them. Meaning the owner, the least educated/qualified, trying to understand it.    How will the data be presented? Could specific PIDs be selected and a timelapse graph be watched? How will a specific value be noted as abnormal? Additionally, a good data logger would be able to 'learn' normal values for a specific vehicle and flag abnormalities automatically. It could in theory watch parameters degrade over time and suggest maintenance as needed. (If the MAF reading begins tapering off for a given set of other readings - MAP, throttle position, Ambient, etc.. a flag to check air filter.) With the amount of data available, a device (really the vehicle rather than an additional accessory) should be able to do more than issue a DTC. It should be able to run the full diagnostic suite automatically and present a solution rather than a code. (It's not the 90's anymore). The technology is available for the vehicle to not just say "P0087", it should know low fuel pressure, check other PIDs to narrow down the problem itself, and determine if it is a lift pump, high pressure pump, regulator, leak in the fuel line, clogged filter, etc. Even if it can't narrow it down, it should be able to guide the user to the likely problems.   This would be a major problem for dealer service departments, which are the manufacturers customers it is in their collective best interest to NOT have this available to the consumer.   Further, if the owner is going to be the primary consumer of the data, it's got to be at a consumer price point vs. dealer only specialty tool price.   This group is more 'involved' in their vehicle than general public/consumer and will have knowledge, experience, needs and desires that are quite different from the market at large.

      OCI, not when but why?

      I put the prof up. If you read what I posted. You can see that housing, cars and income are in line with the era we were talking about. It’s harder in some places easier in others. Let’s agree to disagree and put this back on track, OK? We both are pretty stubborn and hard headed. But I bring receipts. If you wish I will not respond to you in the future.

      Lets see if I can sum up two pages of nothing useful.    You want to refute your own governments data of the "Purchasing Power" Index FOR THE ENTIRE USA and its territories replacing it with the experience of a single family and its business and label that reality?  Then pound on that for a week hoping it will find traction?    Stan, I've told you several times. I don't do irrational. There are more people in the USA than your family.    I'm pretty sure this tread is so blown up. I'll give you a few days or months if need be to post yourself silent then I'll see if I can find enough parts of the train to reassemble it.

      VSE CCV Bypass - Anyone have this installed in their L5P?

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      Facebook groups hate VSE, poor customer service; their responses to criticisms are pretty poor for a reputable company. I'm not a customer, haven't bought anything from them, but how they handle themselves on social media is a definite "No" for me.

      Transmission Woes :-(

      By asilverblazer · Posted

      $10,000 for a transmission?   Pretty sure I could buy all the parts, tools, and education to rebuild it myself for a quarter of that amount.   or swap it out with a new one...
