Chevy Silverado transmission problems can qualify your Silverado for a lemon law refund

The Chevy Silverado was first introduced to the public in 1999 as a light-duty pickup truck, with the GMC Sierra as its mechanical twin. C/K pickups, which were in production prior to the Silverado were produced until 1999 and 2000, respectively, for light-duty vehicles and heavy-duty vehicles.

The Silverado is said to be named after Silverado, California, or the nearby Silverado Canyon, where silver was mined.

For decades, General Motors Company’s (GM) pickup trucks have been one of the best-selling vehicles in America. In 2020 alone the automaker sold 847,110 Chevy Silverados and GMC Sierra trucks.

GM Authority reports that the Chevy Silverado sold an impressive 594,094 units in 2020, while the GMC Sierra sold 253,016.

2018-2021 Chevy Silverado, Colorado Problems

Below is a list of transmission problems reported in the Chevy Silverado:

Not Shifting Properly

One of the biggest problems many Silverado owners have faced with their transmissions is improper shifting. Your truck should shift smoothly from one gear to another, both during automatic and manual shifts. However, many 2018 Chevy owners found that this was not the case with their new trucks.

The 2018 Silverados have been known to slam hard into second gear after spending too long revving in first. Some owners have even reported that their car shifts hard from reverse into drive, which can be troublesome in parking lots. Silverados may also make grinding noises before they shift gears.

Jerking

In addition to not shifting properly, some Chevy owners have found that their transmission doesn’t provide a smooth ride. Your transmission is supposed to run smoothly, accelerating and decelerating evenly and shifting without jerking. But a number of 2018 Silverado owners have reported issues with their transmission jerking during normal operation.

Owners report that their Silverados surge during normal acceleration and jerk forward under light acceleration. Some of these problems have appeared on vehicles with less than 70,000 miles on them. And unfortunately, none of these problems are covered under the warranty, and GM has not issued any recalls.

Clunking

The last noise you want to hear in your brand-new truck is unexpected clunking. Unfortunately, this seems to be a common problem with the 2018 Silverados. Most owners report that their truck starts clunking when they’re driving in the lower gears or when they’re downshifting from a higher speed.

Drivers who have taken their trucks back to dealers have reported getting conflicting answers or no answer at all. Some dealers have told them that this is normal behavior for the truck. And, like with the jerking, GM has yet to issue a recall for these transmission issues.

If you are like many Chevy Silverado owners who have consistently experienced these transmission issues, you may be entitled to compensation under the PA LEMON LAW, NJ LEMON LAW, HI LEMON LAW, or the Magnuson Moss Warranty Improvement Act. Compensation may include a complete repurchase of your defective vehicle, a replacement, or a substantial cash reimbursement for damage the vehicle has already suffered due to the defect.

There have been dozens of Chevrolet recalls issued over the past couple decades for numerous Chevrolet models. Here are some of vehicles which have been recalled:
