Transmission shudders when starting off and slams into gear when down shifting. Took truck to dealer while still under warranty and was told that GM states this is "normal operation" and refused to perform repair under warranty. Now that truck is out of warranty period, GM is saying that transmission needs work at a cost of $6000 for torque converter and valve body assembly GM is well aware of the issues they are having with their Transmissions and refuses to fix or update..

POWER TRAIN, STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
Was driving and the engine died, lost power steering, lost gauges (No speedometer, No Tachometer, Gauges quite working at all) and lost power brakes. Had to try and pull over and was not able to stop or steer easily. I almost hit several other cars and a guardrail trying to stop and steer to emergency lane. After I got stopped, I was not able to restart my vehicle, the starter just kept running but the engine would not start and gauges didn't work. I had my vehicle towed home and started trying to figure out what happened. Put my code reader on the truck and it showed 12 different codes including ECM/BCM failure. I started checking fuses and relays but everything was good. Finally found the problem at the ECM. There was a wiring harness that was not secured and was rubbing against the frame of the truck. One little yellow wire had rubbed through and shorted out which killed the whole truck. It looks like the manufacturer didn't secure the wiring harness in several spots which allowed the wiring harness to rub on the frame and the mount that holds the ECM. The mount for the ECM has started to rub through a different wiring harness and had started rubbing through wires in that harness but I caught it in time.

SUSPENSION
While driving within the neighborhood, the upper control arm ball joint failed and the wheel folded under. After some research, it appears that this truck purchased new from the dealership where it was upfitted with a suspension leveling accessory as shown in the photo. It should have been included in NHTSA Recall 21V-718 as it clearly is premature failure of the OEM upper control arm ball joint due to the dealer installed Suspension Level Kit. Vehicle was purchased new at Vaden Chevrolet in Pooler GA.

POWER TRAIN
When I started driving, the transmission began to feel loose, like gears weren’t seated all the way. And then it began revving for no reason, and would eventually catch a gear as I let off the gas. I was driving with my kids and I was afraid that the gears would catch at a high rev rate and send me forward into other vehicles or pedestrians so I needed to end my drive asap. I was attempting to turn left at a light and the truck stopped going into any gear and I was stopped in the middle of the road. I had to push my car out of the way with the help of others.
