I was driving as I usually do , this time I was in my car I had just financed and bought 3 weeks before. There was no signs or warning lights before this incident. I was driving when suddenly it wouldn’t go in to gear or any gear at all and realized my transmission was failing . I then drove it and tried to get to safe spot trying to avoid any crashes delays or other accidents. I was glad to be close by to a safe spot and not going at a fast speed on freeway or Main Street when this occurred and avoided an accident. My truck was then towed into the dealership mechanics and was waiting for a report and turns out the truck needs a transmission replacement. During the Transmission tear down and inspect they Found clutch assembly gear 1-2-3-4 and 3-5 reverse plates all damaged. Plates missing teeth and burnt. Excessive metal inside torque converter, and valve body. Clutch drum damaged and burnt. I am now just researching recalls for 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and realized that there is a recall for power train on transmission. Stated “The subject vehicles may have a transmission oil cooler line that is not securely seated in the fitting.” And the Recall consequence is “If the line is not securely seated and transmission oil leaks from the fitting, the oil could contact a hot surface and cause a vehicle fire.” By reading my experience with my trucks transmission failing and having multiple parts inside “burnt” Has me wondering if my truck was part of this recall and how worse it could have been if it would have caught in fire. My dealership failed to mention any problems and stated they “take every vehicle through a mechanical inspection and smog Saftey.” I can’t believe only 3 weeks of having this truck and no warning signs and to just completely just shut off and have the transmission destroyed/burnt is a horrible experience.

The toque converter is bad and is ruining the transmission. GM is aware of this issue and will be repairing fleet vehicles at no charge. I have a problem with this discrepancy In their policy when they are aware of this problem yet only cover the repair if your a fleet owner.

I purchased vehicle new 12/2013 and have had the vehicle to Chevy dealer after purchase due to hard downshifts and banging in transmission on shifting. Dealer claimed condition was a normal condition and would do nothing to remedy. This shifting condition stayed the same until the following event. 10/19/2021 driving northbound on I75 in Michigan at 75mph vehicle starts jerking and banging and starts losing speed. Tachometer is bouncing up and down between 1800-2300 rpm, transmission temp was 270 degrees. Vehicle is having transmission failure. I put transmission in manual mode and used 4th gear at 45 mph to limp into my destination. It was pitch dark, raining and very hard to see and I was concerned of being rear ended if I pulled off the side of the road and waited for a wrecker. The next day I drove the vehicle to a transmission shop, again using M4 to limp in as my brother in law followed behind with his emergency flashers on to alert others of a slow moving vehicle. The independent transmission shop inspected my vehicle and determined the torque converter failed and contaiminated the transmission, lines and cooler with metal shavings. They also commented they see several of these vehicles for the same problem, it's common issue they said. Mileage at failure was 124780. They rebuilt the transmission, replaced the torque converter and flushed the lines and cooler at a cost of 2755.00. GM should be held responsible to reimburse owners of these vehicles as they knew of these transmission issues and placed the occupants of vehicle at risk of injury or death if this issue caused a collision. I have attached documented complaint at GM when vehicle was new of clunking and banging in transmission and their answer was its a normal condition.

AT 72K MILES THE TORGUE CONVERTER ON MY 2014 CHEVROLET SILVERADO LTZ REQUIRED REPLACEMENT AT AN OUT OF THE POCKET EXPENSE OF $4486. THE AUTO REPAIR GARAGE WHERE I HAD THE WORK DONE REPORTED THEY HAVE SEEN MULTIPLE VEHICLES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION COMING IN LATELY WITH AROUND THE SAME MILEAGE (72K) HAVING THIS ISSUE. I DRIVE MOSTLY AROUND TOWN (NOT MUCH HIGHWAY), HEARD A GRINDING SOUND AND CAUGHT IT EARLY BEFORE LOSING ANY GEARS. UNFORTUNATELY, SOME VEHICLES HAVE ACTUALLY LOST GEARS. SOUNDS DANGEROUS.

TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, ON A BUSY CITY STREET, I HEARD AND FELT A LOUD BUMP THAT SOUNDED ALMOST LIKE I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED. AFTER THE INITIAL BUMP, I TRIED TO ACCELERATE BUT THE TRUCK JUST MADE A WINDING NOISE LIKE IT COULD NOT SHIFT GEARS. THE TRUCK FINALLY SHIFTED BUT, WOULD NOT CHANGE OUT OF FIRST GEAR. LUCKILY I WAS NOT HIT FROM BEHIND. I JUST HAPPENED TO TAKE A LESS TRAVELED WAY HOME THAT DAY. IF I HAD TAKEN MY NORMAL ROUTE, WHICH IS THE HIGHWAY, I GUARANTEE THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND POSSIBILITY MINE OR SOMEONE ELSE'S LIFE. THE TRUCK HAS HAD HARD SHIFTS SINCE I PURCHASED IT CERTIFIED PREOWNED, WHICH I SEE IS A VERY COMMON COMPLAINT. AFTER HAVING THE TRUCK CHECKED BY A MECHANIC, METAL SHAVINGS WERE FOUND IN THE TRANSMISSION FLUID, WHICH WILL RESULT IN THE TRANSMISSION HAVING TO BE REPLACED. ALL MAINTENANCE FORTHE TRANSMISSION WAS UP TO DATE PRIOR TO THUS HAPPENING. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION BEGAN SHIFTING ODDLY AND MORE SUDDEN THAN NORMAL AND WAS NOT GETTING ENOUGH POWER UNLESS THE ACCELERATOR WAS PRESSED REALLY HARD. WHILE MY CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY (<60,000 MILES), THE DEALERSHIP, LAFFERTY CHEVY, INDICATED THE SHIFTING WAS A RESULT OF AN ADAPTIVE TRANSMISSION THAT LEARNS MY DRIVING HABITS AND IT WAS NORMAL. NOW, THE PROBLEM IS WORSE 6 MONTHS LATER, AND THE CAR IS OUT OF POWER-TRAIN WARRANTY (65K MILES), AND THEY INSPECTED IT FURTHER AND HAVE TOLD ME THE TRANSMISSION NEEDS TO BE FULLY REPLACED. THE TRANSMISSION AND POWER TRAIN MADE IT VERY SAFE TO DRIVE THESE PAST FEW MONTHS AND GM KNOWS THIS IS AN ISSUE AND THE DEALER SAID NOTHING ABOUT THIS UNTIL THE PROBLEM GOT MUCH WORSE AND IS NOW OUT OF WARRANTY.

RADIATOR FAILURE DUE TO CYCLING OF THE THERMOSTAT. THIS IS A DESIGN PROBLEM. IT IS NOT JUST A COMMON PARTS FAILURE. GM ISSUED SERVICE BULLETIN, PI1513F IN RECOGNITION OF THE FAILURES SEEN IN 2014, 2015 & 2016 MODEL YEAR VEHICLES. THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT GM ANNOUNCED IN JANUARY OF 2019 DOES NOTHING FOR MANY OF THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES.

THIS TRUCK IS ON ITS 3RD TRANSMISSION. BOTH FAILED THE EXACT SAME WAY. THE TORQUE CONVERTER OVERHEATED DUE TO THE V8 TO V4 MODE AND WARPED THE TRANSMISSION. THE FIRST TRANSMISSION SWAP WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE SECOND SWAP WAS NOT. WHICH I HAD TO PAY 4800.00 TO REPLACE. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH THIS MODEL AND THEY HAD TO UPGRADE THE TRANSMISSIONS. THE SECOND TRANSMISSION THAT WENT IN DID NOT LAT BUT 50K MILES. RIDICULOUS. I DO NOT DRIVE MY TRUCK AGGRESSIVELY, NOR IS THERE ANY REASON THE TRANS SHOULD HAVE FAILED TWICE WITH THE EXACT SCENARIO. IT HAD INCREASED RPMS ON THE ENGINE BUT TRUCK DID NOT MOVE. WHEN SPEED WOULD SLOW DOWN IT FELT LIKE I WAS DRIVING ON RUMBLE STRIPS AND I WAS ON A BACK COUNTRY ROAD. I SHOULD BE COMPENSATED FOR THE SECOND TRANS SWAP. GM KNEW ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT NEVER PUT A RECALL OUT. I AM NOT A SATISFIED CUSTOMER.
