CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 has an early trend of the transmission shifting hard, surging & jerking.

At the moment these trucks are still under warranty. However this transmission problem shows up right away with the average reported mileage only around 3,000 miles, so for now the 2017 Silverado earns our "Beware of the Clunker" badge.

The rear seat in the crew cab version seats 3 across but has one 2 head rests. The 2 head rests that are there, are entirely too short to provide any protection. Since this is a crew cab with seating for 3 in the rear, there should be proper head protection for each passenger. The top of the rear head rest is only 28" from the seat bottom. Way too short for most passengers.

Rear center seat has no head restraint. Rear outboard seats have head restraints that may not meet minimum saftey heights, they are too small and do not extend high enough, they also do not lock into position. Front center seat has no head restraint. Front center seat has no shoulder belt, has lap belt only.

Truck is a 6 passenger vehicle the front seat can seat 3. my 13 year old grand daughter flipped up the middle console to sit in the middle position. The plastic cup holder broke off the console and flew into the back seat. We were stopped the side of the street in front of grand sons home loading up 6 passengers when this happened. Myself, wife, grandson, his wife, 12 year old grand daughter and 2 year old great grand daughter. We had buckled up my great grand daughter in the back seat in her car seat when this console broke off and fell on the back seat. This is a crew cab vehicle and the console is made of plastic and weighs 2.2 pounds and what would this do flying backwards in an accident.
