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.

      Still looks like a rivet to me in the pics, I don't see a nut and none of the pics show the head of the screw. But if you says so.....

      Tire psi

      By jgaudet99 · Posted

      Thanks for all the help so far!   I did try right from 2026 right down to 2021, and only from 2023 down lets me select the option for tire psi change, but I get the vehicle not supported error!   I'll definitely try it under Chevrolet after work today, and I'll get the sensor number from gm for my truck tire sensors. And I'll let you know if it works for me under Chevrolet!   And if that doesn't work, I'm going to guess that what @Atlas said about maybe I have a different body control module could be true!

      2010 Avalanche 5.3 not running correctly after engine swap.

      By Jsdirt · Posted

      From where I'm sitting this sounds like a compatibility problem. I'm assuming the 2007 was a 900-series truck, and not an 800-series (they were sold side-by-side in dealerships that model year), since it starts and runs.   This is why I HATE post-2006 vehicles. Everything becomes a huge problem when you try to keep the thing running for longer than the manufacturer has designed it to.    I can't remember when Global-A architecture started - either '10 or '11. For your sake, you had better hope it's '11, or you're going to be spending some BIG money to correct this cluster-eff. That's something you need to find out before doing anything else. You may have several computers bricked ... but the fact that it runs tells me you MIGHT be ok here.     EDIT: Just did a quick refresher. You're screwed. This is Global-A. The 2 systems are NOT compatible in the slightest. Once you get the correct engine in there that IS compatible, you're going to need to see how many computers are locked. Absolute NIGHTMARE to straighten out, too. Your buddy might be better off cutting his losses and finding something else.   Welcome to post-2006 vehicle electronics. This is why I quit the industry, and drive nothing built after 1994. This stuff takes all the fun out of wrenching!

      Tire psi

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      True, hard to say what differences there may or may not be between Chev and GM as well as a production year or mid year part change either.    I just found it odd that under the Sierra choice on the Autel that many of the last few years of production year did not include the choice of changing the tire pressure but if that is an Autel thing or a GM thing as to why the choices were not there. Knowing what tpms sensors are on the truck should give some guidance into which choices on the tool even make sense to try as I wouldn't give up just yet with the tool but I guess he will see what if anything he comes up with if he finds out a bit more info and tries a few more things on the Autel.
