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 contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado. While stationary, all of the instrument panel indicators illuminated without warning. The vehicle was taken to urka auto sales in ludington, Michigan where it was diagnosed that rodents had eaten through the wiring harness, a main ground wire, and the front wheel speed sensors.

Drivers door could not be opened from inside the vehicle. Handle moved but door mechanism would not engage. Had to lower drivers window and use exterior door handle to open the door. After turning vehicle off and restarting the engine the drivers door inside door handle mechanism worked again. I'm concerned about being able to exit the vehicle quickly in an emergency or if power was disrupted to the vehicle and was unable to lower the window. Vehicle was stopped in a snow storm (blizzard) on a back country road at the time of incident
