- Houston, TX, USA

Transmission has failed from 4th gear up (3) times within 91,000 miles. When going at speeds more than 50 miles an hour, the transmission will break and lose forward motion causing a safety issue with oncoming traffic. The transmission was "rebuilt" at lafontaine GMC of highland, mi (2) times and they are telling me they are going to "rebuild" it a 3rd time. Just wanted to note safety issue so when this happens in the future I will have a legal avenue.

Truck lurches forward unexpectedly during slow stops such as when approaching a barrier to park, a gate, or pedestrian crossing. As the transmission downshifts, the torque increase causes the brake pressure being applied to become insufficient to stop the vehicle causing it to lurch forward up to six feet. During accelleration while highway driving the transmission may unexpectedly downshift to an inappropriate gear causing the engine rev limiter to engage and reducing power unexpectedly when it should be increasing.

- Oklahoma City, OK, USA

When traveling low speeds like in a parking lot first gear jerks so bad it feels like someone rear ended you. Going highway speeds between 45 to 75 you feel vibrations coming from the transmission it feels like you're going over rumble strips. I had my transmission flushed and changed it fix the vibrations but 3000 miles later the vibrations started again.

- Cameron, TX, USA

I have had issues with my GMC Sierra since it was new. It has jerked and clunked when I start to go and then left off the gas. There has also been a hesitation when stepping on the guess. I have taken it to the dealer several times and was told things such as: "I just needed to get use to the 8 speed transmission"," the hesitation is when the truck switches from V4 to V8". and "there is nothing wrong". now the warranty has expired and it is getting worse. It now feels like "running over a rumble strip" or like it is "missing" and "hesitating". all of these things occur when the vehicle is in motion.

- Eden, NC, USA

My 8 speed transmission seem to wait too long to up shift. Will down shift at odd times. When is stop and go traffic around 5-15 mph the truck will lurch forward when coasting or coming to a stop. When truing on the truck and going from park to reverse there will be a loud "clunk" that can also be felt causing the truck to rock.

2016 GM Sierra - 85,000 miles never had many issues with jerking/jumping/braking as many have described. Went to accelerate from a stop light and the truck would not shift out of second gear. Could not get truck to shift and would then shift hard upon deceleration. Took to the dealer service department. They said the torque converter is shot and 4th, 5th and 6th gear is trashed. I only have 85,000 miles on the truck, mostly highway miles and very limited towing on the truck. GM changed their warranty from 100,000 miles to 60,000 miles. I had an extended warranty up to 75,000 miles. Now they won't help with any of the cost. Would hope they might stand by their equipment a little more than that. Especially since they are having some major issues with their transmissions as shown in all the complaints.

Truck hesitates, jumps, and bumps when applying brakes. When stepping on brakes to stop, it bumps and jumps before it actually comes to a full stop. It seems you really have to step on the brake hard to make it come to a full stop. This is worse on low speed, below 30 mph, stop and go traffic. There were a number of instances I almost rear ended vehicles in front of me due to this problem. The truck also bumps and jumps when taking off. I think this started a few months after I got the truck brand new. It is getting progressively worse. I took it a number of times to GM service center; they did a transmission relearn, software updates, and transmission flush--truck got better for only a few hundred miles, then same problems recurred. The latest couple of times I went back to GM service, they told me nothing is wrong with my truck. It has been very frustrating dealing with this problem and GM service for the past 3 years.

When driving in slow moving traffic trans mission feels very jerky and shifts hard. Also when going from park to reverse transmission will clunk very hard causing the truck to move. Truck also seems to hesitate when trying to shift in lower gears while accelerating. This has been an ongoing issue since purchasing the truck brand new from the dealership. Prior attempts for service have been explained by their technicians as being an adaptive transmission needing to learn

- Bakersfield, CA, USA

Transmission shifts hard going from 1st to 2nd gear with no fix from GM. Complained to dealer they said it's normal and there's no fix for the issue. Issue also persist when going from drive to reverse, a hard shift that I've never experienced before in several previous GM products I owned or currently own. Happens every time I drive the vehicle

2016 GMC Sierra- bought used hard shifting noted immediately and shuttering on inclines, took to dealership had part replaced- fixed shuttering but not hard shifts- now it not only shifts hard but while I was trying to stop at a drive through the brakes failed- lunges forward almost hitting the car in front of us- next day I pulled into a parking spot same thing happened- brakes would not compress- stood on the brake before it finally stopped- backed up a bit to straighten up and the [xxx] thing did it again in reverse. I'm traveling back home to Arkansas from Florida in a few days with my children and I'm scared to death to drive this thing. I can't get it looked at before we leave because of the weekend/ christmas break.seriously unsafe vehicle! there should be recalls on these vehicles! I've read so many similar stories, why has this not been addressed yet? GMC should be ashamed.

Since buying the truck new in 2016 it had a vibration, which got worse as you increased speed, at highway speed, 65-75 mph the vibration is so bad it was making me nauseous. I have taken it to the dealer several times, first balanced the tires and said everything was normal, truck still vibrating. Several more trips to the dealer with the same result.

Transmission shifts abruptly and torque converter causes shudder at highway speeds. Truck has been serviced twice for the same issue by dealer and dealer recently told me problem is unresolvable.

- Franklin, TN, USA

Constant vibration and or shake at speeds between 60-70 mph. This issue is commonly referred to as the "Chevy shake" this issue has been existing since first purchasing this vehicle. I addressed the concern with the dealership during multiple visits for service. As this was my first full size truck, I wasn't sure what to expect regarding how the vehicle would ride at highway speeds. I was told by the service department that the vehicle was in tolerance in regards to how it rode and the constant vibration. So I excepted this as being the norm and went ahead to add some modifications to my truck. Since the initial complaint the service department has since turned over most of their staff and added people willing to address and acknowledge that my vehicle indeed has this vibration/shake issue. Due to the modifications made they will not address or attempt to correct this issue. Had I pressed the issue in the beginning and not accepted what these so called professionals had told me to be acceptable maybe I wouldn't be in this predicament. My vehicle has also been in for numerous bucket seat issues from sagging and poor seat support. Everything described here is factual as I have all the service records and history with the same GMC dealership and service department in regards to these problems. Long story short, these issues have made long distance trips almost unbearable between the constant shaking and poor seat support.

Transmission - when driving the vehicle it does a hard shift when accelerating and decelerating. I have taken the vehicle into the dealer twice. They are saying that is a "state of the art" computer that needs to be reset!!! I am taking it back in for a 3rd time. The care is 2 years old with 31K miles.
