A 2015 Chevrolet Silverado seemed to be running rougher after an oil change. When inspected by dealership, Litha Chevrolet located 200 East Cypress Ave in Redding CA, they identified lower end knocking and lifter ticking noise. Also identified was PO300 was randomly missing and PO324 Knock Sensor performance. The dealership recommended total engine replacement, after reviewing the report. The 2015 Silverado is currently out of commission. It is not roadway safe. The Silverado has been serviced regularly as recommended and has not been in any collisions in the past. The truck has had one owner previously, my father, who left me the truck when he perished. I relied on the truck for daily and extended transportation for myself and my children. I have maintained excellent care of the 2015 Silverado with regular maintenance and services. There is no explanation of this issue other than it was caused by faulty equipment from the manufacturer. If you can provide any information regarding how to fix this please contact me. Thank you
The transmission began slipping and failed at 106,000 miles in spite of obtaining all recommended services throughout the life of the vehicle. It failed completely while driving, which was a major safety issue. It now needs a new transmission. After searching online, I see that numerous owners have reported issues with the 2015 Chevy Silverado transmission. There were no warning lights. It began to make a noise and a shaking and failed about one week later.
4WD (transfer case) malfunctioned, locking the truck in 4WD mode and making road driving dangerous and potentially damaging to the truck. No prior issues. $500 software repair.

It started out with the transmission slipping/jerking at about 50 mph. Then as it progressed it began whining. We were barely able to get it to a mechanic to have it looked at. We were told it was the torque converter which caused the transmission to need to be replaced.
Vehicle went into neutral while driving on highway. Depressing accelerator only caused engine to wind. Pulled over into a parking lot, put vehicle into (P)ark, turned engine off, restarted ignition, and transmission began to function again.
My wife came home and told me there was something wrong with our truck. I went and inspected it and found nothing. The next day i drove the truck about 30 miles up river. Coming home I was traveling around 55 mph the truck came to a sudden slow down as if I had locked up the brakes then drove fine again. This happened three or four times not as bad as first time. While in town stopped at a light it tried to take of. Not like something giving it gas but like it was in gear and the brake wasnt going to hold it. Almost put me into a school bus ahead of me. Then the rest of the way home it kept binding down and releasing then binding back down. Hard to control but not necessarily a break problem. Its something else. I have worked on vehicles all my life, professionally for 25 years. I never seen a vehicle do this. It has to be in the transmission. Maybe something in the torque converter would be my guess. I have heard of the issues with the 8 speed ever sense this happened I have parked this truck. I cant afford a need transmission that doesnt actually fix the problem from what i hear. I feel GM needs to do something here. At least pay for the parts to fix
Driving 25mph for 3 miles leaving my house speed limit increased to 55 and as i stepped on gas to speed up truck shuttered, shook, and ck engine light came on. #6 cylinder has no compression, found info about common chevy problem 122000 miles.
For several years this truck will at times start "grade braking" on its own. In other words, at speed, ie: 55 mph, the computer chip will tell the transmission to downshift to assist in "grade braking". The danger is that it actually speeds up the truck, and while attempting to stop at a stop sign, (or light), the truck is actually speeding up, while I am actively pushing on the brake pedal to stop at the light. I ended up having to replace the transmission with a new (rebuilt) transmission. I hoped this would end the problem, but now once again, I have the problem occurring with the replacement transmission. GM tells me they cannot program out the grade braking component. This is a very dangerous situation in which one day I will be unable to stop where required, due to stopped traffic, or a stop signal.
vehicle is shifting hard between 1st and 2nd. it only seems to do it at lower speeds. the RPMS had a shudder between and only once the truck has been running for awhile. has been in to an independent service dept. at the local dealer where it was purchased and has had all work done since purchased. there are no warring lights or check engine messages. they flushed all fluids and hooked to diagnostic machine found nothing. had it back for a week and it did it again. Took it back to them and had them ride along so they could see what it was doing. they replaced the torque converter although the shudder is gone but it still shifts hard between 1/2
Transmission slipping, set cruise control and it would engage for some time and then disengage without warning. I followed all maintenance requirements for the transmission like flushing the transmission at the appropriate mileage.
I am having issues with my transmission. When I first turn on the truck in the morning, put it in gear, and lightly accelerate the truck accelerates way too fast then cuts out the power. It is enough to throw me forward or back in my seat and it honestly is frightening. I am also having problems with the vehicle shifting incorrectly causing me to have no power or a sudden surge of power. This is usually when i have slowed down and them am trying to accelerate again. Also, When I am slowing down to stoplights, the vehicle will occasionally shift down to too low of a gear and act like i am slamming on the brakes. I have had several close calls with this truck due to this issue. Gm knows about the issue and has refused to recall the vehicles that are having these problems. They are recommending changing out the fluid multiple times at the owners costs. This has resulted in several class action lawsuits. They also have gone to the lengths of changing warranty coverage to no longer include abnormal shifting. This is not safe. This is causing accidents and they are actively covering it up. Please help the hundreds of thousands of people that are having issues. We need your help, I need your help and gm is no longer standing behind their vehicles.
Air conditioning compressor busted and spilled oil and metal shards all over road. Condenser coil sprung a leak in 2019. Heavy vibrations in cabin when driving interstate speeds. Oil cooler lines leaking causing oil leaks and now I am noticing a leak on the radiator! Leak on the inner drivers side axle seal.
The truck would take off on its own. The steering column would lock up, and the brakes would fail. The transmission is currently slipping an d these are just a few thing that are/have happened.
The contact owns a 2015 Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

The contact continued to drive the vehicle. The contact stated that the failure had been reoccurring and the vehicle would lose power steering while parked. The contact stated that the stability tract control warning light and the 4-wheel drive warning light illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the battery needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the wiring harness lid needed to be cleaned and the dialectic grease needed to be applied inside the connectors. The contact stated that the vehicle was repaired; however, the failure reoccurred while driving. Additionally, the dealer diagnosed that the transmission control module needed to be replaced. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 45,000.
6l80 transmission has the Chevy shutter or slipping truck only has 60,000 miles not very optimistic that it will last till the 150,000 miles if it-??s already acting up and I can hear metal slapping when shifting at various speeds and stopping speeds
