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.

My 2017 Silverado 1500, while at a stop light was idling rough and check engine light came. So when I brought the truck in for a second recall. The dealer said they could do a diagnostic. Well they said it was miss firing due to bad fuel injector cylinder 8 wasn't working so they gave me a price of 1500 to fix the problem unfortunately we just got out from the factory warranty and had extended warranty that didn't cover fuel injectors so we put lucas fuel injector cleaner and it helped. It seems as if there are a lot of complaints for this reason.

A few months after purchasing from dealer check engine light came on solid. Brought to dealer. Vehicle was shaking and running rough..dealer diagnosed issue as faulty fuel pressure sensor. They replaced the part through my extended warranty. A few months later the check engine light cane on blinking same issue vehicle shaking and running rough. Took to dealer immediately. They diagnosed as bad fuel injector. They claimed the ECM went bad caused by the bad fuel injector. They replaced ECM and fuel injectors costing thousands. They convinced me I had to pay for a "platinum fuel injection service" after it was replaced. This was another $300. I was promised the issue was fixed. I was told if check engine light came back on for same issue it would be covered "under good faith"...well 2 weeks later the check engine light came back on after hardly even using the truck... I had my family in the truck for a planned family even and had to pull off in the sweltering heat to pay for a tow truck to come get my vehicle....now it sits over at the dealer again...they want me to pay a diagnostic again. And it has not even been looked at. For the amount I paid for this truck it is dangerous untrustworthy and embarrassing. After reading all these complaints for fuel injectors gone bad at early life, why is this not recalled?

All fuel injectors in "bank 1" became faulty and need replacing immediately with little to no warning of issues. Check engine light came on after multiple injectors became faulty. Check engine light came on while traveling on a straight road after 2 minutes of highway travel going 70 mph. Consumer stated I'd like to add the following information to my report. After looking further on the NHTSA website, I came across information in the 'manufacturer communications' section of the website pertaining to 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500's. the NHTSA id number is 10163854, and manufacturer communication number is N182198000. In this letter it explains issues with bank 1 fuel injectors, and what I experienced with my pickup. Under the 'conditions' section of this letter, page 1, my vehicle meets all the conditions aside from living in Wyoming and not one of the 13 states listed. My pickup is a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado with a 5.3L engine, the malfunction indicator lamp illuminated, I took my vehicle to garvin motors in powell, wy, and they said a diagnostic trouble code returned with fuel to air ratio issue in bank 1. upon further diagnostics it was reviled the fuel injectors need replacing in bank 1, just as stated in this letter from GM. I have been in contact with two GM dealers in the area, and I have been quoted two prices to replace parts listed on this document from GM. I have also reached out to GM, and they said they will research this letter more and get back with me. I am now two weeks without a vehicle while the dealership is demanding I make a decision to have repairs done, how I will be able to pay for repairs upon completion, and GM customer support will not take my calls with telling me they will be called back. I have spoken to GM three times about this with each time stating they need to look into the matter further. Denny menholt dealership located in cody, wy, currently has my pickup with no repairs started at this time.

Fuel injector or fuel pump does not work properly. On two (2) different occasions, months apart, my engine has lost power and the vehicle stalled. Both times at low speeds 10 - 15 mph and low rpms. This has nearly caused me to crash into one vehicle and for another to almost hit me from behind as my car died while making a right hand turn off a busy road. I have had the vehicle towed in twice, but the dealership and GM both say unless they can duplicate the issue they will not fix or replace anything. This vehicle is unsafe and needs to be recalled/reviewed. On top of this, they had to replace the vacuum pump for the brakes and do a software patch update because the backup camera was dangerously bright, especially at night. The camera issue took 2 visits to 2 different dealerships to get resolved. GM is playing the numbers game of hoping for a fine instead of paying to replace any parts. Especially since they are dealing with a pr battle about making cars outside of the usa. They took the bailout money and screwed americans.

My 2017 siverado with less than 50,000 miles is at the dealership, due to a defective fuel injector on the #7 cylinder. I am being told it is not under warranty, and that I will have to bare the cost of the repair. I do not feel that on a two year old vehicle, that the fuel injector should fail, nor should I bare the cost of replacement. I am not asking for a resolution, I just want other to be aware of the defect.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado. The contact received a recall notice for NHTSA campaign number: 19V088000 (fuel system, gasoline). The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. Rodenroth motors Inc (3055 S mackinac trail, sault ste. Marie, mi 49783, (906) 662-4756) was contacted and confirmed that the parts were not available for the recall remedy. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue and was not able to confirm when the parts were to become available. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

The engine is unable to receive consistent fuel when you start the vehicle. It requires pushing down on the gas pedal multiple times and restarts to get the engine going. Then, while driving the engine loses fuel and causes the vehicle to turn off and essentially die. This has put me in 2 near wreck incidents already despite the GM dealerships saying there is no issue.

Silverado 1500

  • 8,400 miles
Engine hesitation, or misfiring. Jerking, or transmission shuttering when engine is at low RPM and on incline. (I.e. when traveling about 45mph and start up a hill, the RPM's are about 1300, and the transmission doesn't gear down, so it starts shuttering until you give it more acceleration than usual.) after dealing with this issue for nearly 8 months and 15K miles, I believe this safety issue should be recalled. Dealer originally acknowledge the problem but was unsure of the cause. After 5 repair attempts the dealer say they can't duplicate and the vehicle performs as designed.

Vehicle hesitation and surges in acceleration. This condition is a safety issue as it hesitates pulling into traffic, surges in acceleration have caused loss of tire traction on ice covered roadways nearly resulting in a collision. Dealers have acknowledged an issue but advise they are still waiting on a fix from GM.

The contact owns a 2017 Chevrolet Silverado 1500. Upon refueling the vehicle, water entered near the plastic filler, which affected the fuel gauge area. The dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was waiting for them to schedule an appointment to inspect the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was waiting for a solution to be provided to the dealer to diagnose the failure. The VIN and failure mileage were not available....updated 05/17/17
