Any fixes yet ? This exact same problem happens to me every single morning. Back up about 20ft down drive to the street put in D and push the gas the truck damn near stops when shifting and then slams into 2nd. EVERY SINGLE DAY. I live on a slight hill if I head down the hill and let it "coast" into second gear it will shift smooth, any type of throttle at all and it will break your neck shifting ... this is a 2019 Denali truck with 8speed and now has 8k miles on it and seems like its getting worse every day.

Anyone else experiencing a hard shift or hesitation of the engine when you first hit the gas. For example, I start the truck, reverse out of the driveway, put the car in drive and when I hit the gas,

Look up bulletin #16-NA-361 harsh 1-2 shift upon first startup shift under light throttle. GM says it normal on the 8 speed. It has something to do with the initial clutch fill time of the C4 clutch.

I have the same cold start 1-2 shift hesitation and lunge. I do the same coast method as zzrsouth. Once in 2nd, can't stop, accelerate and reproduce. It doesn't happen again until the next morning. So

Same, i started a thread about this. The third time that it happen was when the truck was 100% warmed up (40 mins of driving). Is it constant when the truck warms up?

No fix unfortunately, took mine in to the dealer for the second time (got the new fluid the first time), and they said they couldn’t feel anything wrong with it. This thing vibrates randomly if I’m going >25mph. I just crossed 4K miles on mine.

I have a 2019 Chevy Colorado zr1  and  it has a rough 1-2nd shift when backing out of  my inclined driveway,  as I  back out and put it into  drive and accelerate it revs  high  and loses power  as if in neutral and then kicks into 2nd gear,  this  is  very worrisome since  it's a brand new truck,  I already want to go trade it in.  It only  does  this to me when I'm parked on an incline overnight  in  my driveway.  I  noticed that when  I  press the  tow button  it doesn't rough shift form 1st-2nd. Big problems down the road  I think  after  warranty  is up.

I am having the same issue. I have a 2019 Sierra and just starting seeing this at first start up. Like others, I back out of my driveway and when I first start moving forward in first gear, it hesitates and jerks to next gear.  My neighbor has the same model (I couldn’t resist buying one after seeing hers) and has experienced this only once.  Sounds like there’s no solution.

I'm having the same issue with my 2019 Silverado. I dont want a truck that's having transmission problems already.  What can be done so that we dont end up with a vehicle that is going to cost us money after warranty runs out?

Mine has been doing this to me lately as well, 5.3 8speed w/2800 miles.  I am worried its gonna **** up something in the driveline.

The last time my 2019 RST Z71 did this was around 4,000 miles. That was 3500 miles ago. 

 

I wouldn't worry about it all that much, to be honest. It will get better.

It won't. 

I have a 19 AT4 that has done it since day 1.  Of course dealership couldn’t reproduce and said whatever it was is normal.  I now have 14k on the truck and it happens way more common than before.  It has to be a huge safety liability, jocking into a parking spot and you could be into the car next to you or run someone down.  Can’t be “normal”  Hate to say it but probably going back to a ford.

Mine used to do this all the time. I had a buddy that told me it was related to the auto-start/stop. (It didn't make sense to me but I was up for trying anything at that point). I’ve been militant about turning that off every-time I start my truck (i wish you could permanently disable it) & it hasn’t been an issue for me for @10k miles.


I currently have 26k miles on the truck; so i dont know if turning the auto-start off did it or if the truck just quit doing it, but mine hasn't done it in close to 4 months.

My 2019 Trail Boss has been doing this from the day I bought it.  I saw a post earlier that mentioned something about "engine relearning"  I have 9,500 miles now and it still does it.  When my wife is riding with me it freaks her out every time and she looks at me as if it is my fault.  I have not taken my truck in for this specific issue, but it appears it would be a waste of time anyway. I'll monitor this post to see if there has been any fixes - or another "Recall".  I have had my truck since Feb 2019 and love the truck, but seems like the little issues are adding up and causing a lot of frustration.

1. Brakes Squeak - Had Chevy dealer look at this yesterday, they said it's normal.

2. This issue - hesitation and jerk when going forward the first time

3. Ambient Air Temperature reading - has always been about 7 - 10 degrees higher than the actual temperature outside - had Chevy dealer replace the sensor, still way off.

4. Entertainment System - When I start my truck after stopping somewhere (Gas station, gym, store etc...) about 85% of the time, no music plays.  The system comes up and shows the station, however, until I touch the screen, nothing plays.  Weird & Annoying.

5.  I'm sure I am forgetting something.. ha.

my 2019 LT Trailboss, does same thing, but I really notice after it hasn't been driven in a few days.  I work from home, so I don't go out every day.  But when I test drove the truck, it drove great... hahaha.  But now it does the 'lunging' up to about 45-50 mph.  But from the posts, looks like the dealer may not be any help.

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      Missing pieces of the Assembly   Detergency vs Solvency   Not the same thing. Detergency is the mechanism that surrounds solid particulates preventing amalgamation. Usually accompanied by a Dispersant whose job it is to keep those encapsulated particles in Suspension. Solvency keeps things that can be dissolved in solution.    Salt is a solid that can be dissolved. Pepper is a solid that cannot be dissolved. A detergent/dispersant is effective on pepper but a solvent is more effective on salt. As long as the solids remain in either state, dissolved or dispersed then they can be be removed with the oil upon change.    How many wranglers does it take to herd cats? Depends on how many cats your herding. How much sponge does it take to soak up water? How much water is there to soak up? Point is most oil blends start with some herding ability and next to zero sponge and recently even fewer wranglers are being sent to do the same job.    So you start with a dozen cowboys and zero cows but at the drive progresses you pick up cows along the way, but not cowboys. At some point you have more cows that the wranglers can handle and some leave the herd. Deposits. And the API has an acceptable number of cows they are willing to let loose. In the ideal world zero is the right number for he rancher but to the butcher....a few lost is fine. This cow is beat to death. Let's move on....   Solvency isn't something oils on the Walmart shelf care about AT ALL. Problem is, you motor does. Fuels driven varnish sticks rings and only a solvent can keep them in check. The bet is that the solids driven portion that plug the expander rings and the oil drain backs and VVT screens and AFM screens will be an issue long before varnish is. Not that it wont be but if they market well enough the consumer can be kept ignorant enough to either believe it is "normal" (A quart in 1 or 2K is normal) OR is kept at bay longer than the first owner is likely to hang on to the unit. Solvency cost money.    Now the OEM's have John Q. Public buffaloed into the belief that the number cows accumulated along the trail is a known and predictable CONSTANT. It isn't. Nor is the rate at which they crossed paths with them. Only the number of wrangles is constant. Or was. Each new generation of oil sees fewer and fewer of them.    So what happens when the number of cowboys is lower (lower TBN) with each seasons trail but the trial is longer (OCI) and the number of cows along that trail continues increase? (Conditions that promote deposits).    For awhile the blenders were on to something. Better bases are harder to degrade (fewer cows) but that was overtaken by a longer trail (OCI) and improved breeding (More cows) while continuing to reduce the cowboy staffing levels (TBN/Aniline #).    Marketing has been successful. We've fired most of the staff, cows breed line bunnies, the trail is ten times longer and we've convinced the boss his ranch is in better shape that it ever was.    That kids is just the cleaning side. The side few pay attention to.

      Looking for this part for my truck. They don't sell just that one piece and to get it you have to pay over $100 even used for the whole air tube. The piece the hose clamp snaps into that is held on by the screw and nut. If anyone has access to one please let me know.
