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.

I also have the same issue with my 19 RST Z71 4X4.. When leaving on first start up she lunges and can't find a gear.. I'm at about 6k on mine, I do not expect much from GM... they got our money already

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.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
