UNKNOWN OR OTHER
We bought this truck in 2020 with only in two years had to have the transmission rebuilt within warranty 2 1/2 years later after rebuilding the transmission with the dealer warranty, the transmission gives out again same problems as before now the warranty expired and we have to pay out of pocket to have the transmission replaced as no one is reaponxible for repairs. This has been an ongoing issue since the beginning And I don’t understand what this transmission is not being recalled if you could please explain multiple people that I have talked to and multiple mechanics have advised me that this is an ongoing issue with this make and model. I only wish I had known this before purchasing and now I’m hoping that I can get help on this.

ENGINE, POWER TRAIN
While driving my vehicle, with around 85,000 miles, the engine suddenly began running rough and felt jerky and sluggish. This was concerning and potentially dangerous situation, as the engine failure happened while I was travelling at high speed. A sudden loss of power on the highway put me and other drivers at serious risk. The check engine light came on, so I pulled over as soon as I could safely do so. Shortly after, the light started flashing, so I shut off the engine and contacted the dealership service department. They advised having the vehicle towed in for inspection. Prior to this event, I had not had any issues with the vehicle nor had the check engine light come on. After looking into it, the dealership initially suspected a thrown rod but said they wouldn't know the full extent of the issue until they could tear down the engine. Upon further inspection, they determined that the lifters had failed and would need to be replaced. The dealership has performed all regular maintenance and oil changes on my vehicle. When I asked what could have caused this, they explained that it's a known issue with these lifters and engines - one that Chevrolet has experienced for years, even in models prior to my 2017.

POWER TRAIN
I own a 2017 Silverado 1500 ecoTech V6, 6L80 transmission, 91500 - over the weekend, I started having an issue shifting from 3rd to 4th. I noticed the transmission was over 190 degrees, as high as 230 degrees, then cooling back to 194. When attempting to shift from 3rd the 4th, it will start, then return to 3rd. It will do so 4 or 5 times until eventually skipping 4th and going to 5th. This happens when the transmission fluid is cold, 80s or when fluid gets to 190+. I called the local Chevy deal, who told me there weren't any open recalls for my VIN and that the diagnostics would be $190 which may or may not be a software update. They would not know until after the disanostics.

The contact stated that the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to coast to the side of the road. There were several unknown warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the residence.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Electronics for hands free stopped working. This part was already replaced once. When backing up, the whole truck shut down. I restarted, it said to roll drivers side window down and up. Truck started up again. Few days later... returning from trip, lost power, windshield wipers came on, electronics in truck started blinking. Pulled over, rolled driver's side window up and down. started back on road. This has happened numerous times. Whenever I gave it extra gas, asking for power to pass, same thing mentioned above happened. Very stressful! Next day, hit a hole, truck totally shut down again. Husband was able to safely coast off road, however, if he had been pulling out at a major intersection, this could have been bad. Warning light that comes with shutdown says "stabltrack issue". I have not seen our dealer service department yet, but plan to very soon. VERY unsafe... and I love this truck!!!!

ENGINE, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FORWARD COLLISION AVOIDANCE: ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL
The AFM system is a faulty system that starved my lifters of oil and they ended up collapsing causing a flat spot on my cam. The engine code would come up as a misfire but the code is caused by the flat spot created on the cam by the lifter it's a faulty system that cost me $7,000. My 8spd transmission also has a hard shift from 1st to 2nd pushing the vehicle forward and jerking it when it shifts. The dealer and GM said this was natural with this type of transmissions which we now know is a lie.

The contact's son owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. While the contact's son was driving at an undisclosed speed, the windows started to get foggy with the defroster activated. The occupants inside the vehicle started smelling a burning wire odor inside the vehicle. The odor became stronger with smoke entering the cabin of the vehicle after turning off the defroster. The occupants then heard a loud popping sound coming from the vehicle. The contact's son immediately pulled over and the occupants inside the vehicle frantically exited the vehicle.
