2019 Newest Generation…
2019 Newest Generation Silverado 1500 rear wheel drive 5.3. Locked Up 4 Times back to back to back to back times on the interstate in 10MPH traffic jam. Had it towed to dealership thinking it was the breaks locking up. When I bought the truck in 2023 it had 18k miles on it. A year later at 42k miles is when this happened. After having it a month, they still couldn't get it to replicate what had happened. Finally I did some research myself and figured it could have been the transmission the whole time, so I suggested to them they take a look at that issue (I couldn't believe I was asking them this). They said, sorry. There's nothing wrong with it. I said, I'm not taking it, it's a safety issue. Once I brought up "safety" they changed their tune. (Everything was transcripted through text). Finally after another week, they (dealer) said they spoke with GM and said it was a module inside the transmission but it wasn't covered under warranty, bumber to bumber was over, I said "you just told me it's inside the transmission, that's power train warranty. They went from wanting to charge me $1,700 which I said FU, down to you can come pick it up, we fixed it. When I went to pick it up, I said did you flush or change the transmission fluid, the Service Manager, not the desk guy that don't know shit said, it was flushed when we changed the converter, I said why did you change that? He said it was changed with the previous owner, I said "wait, what?" I was told that there were no issues previously with the transmission, he said they musta lied, I said . .y'all all lie here! I took my truck at no charge. I don't think they would have ever looked further into it if I had not made it a safety issue with it locking up 4 times in 25 seconds on the interstate, which a passenger could have hit the windshield or someone rear end me. Since then, I still get the Chevy Shudder at times but the one thing that bothers me the most is when going from Drive, to reverse back to drive ... It will slip then jamb into gear .. not all the time but 50/50 and also the clunking now and then. I just have a feeling this is not the last of it. Now, it's December 24' with 67k miles on it .. Body is in Great, almost like new shape still .. should I sell it? And if I do sell, what to get? I'm a diehard Chevy Guy .. I feel like I was lied to, many times by this dealer. I can't see myself in a foreign truck, and Ford and Ram, not for me. 🤷🏼 I won't name the dealer as of now but it's in Metairie, LA.
