After an aliment they did, it was said truck was fine. Another heavy clunk and hard shift around 68000 miles, back to dealer, asked to have transmission inspected, told the fuild was fine no issues. Was told that's just how this truck handles. Wrong. Something is wrong. I was sent away again. Now close to 97000 miles have have a P0741code and told the transmission is bad and needs replaced. The vehicle is never been in an accident, has only had minor weight in the bed. Never towed anything with the truck, northern transmission is faulty and causing driving problems.

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
The " service trailer brake system" light has been coming on for about 3 yrs in my truck. I have asked the dealer about this, and all I hear is it will cost me about $200 just to find out what is causing this. I was also told I could clear this just by pressing the dismiss button, which I have been doing. I don't feel this is the way to fix the problem. Since I do a lot of towing, I feel this is putting both mine and other lives in danger, since I don't know if my brakes are going to work or fail. I have recently discovered that this is a very common defect in this vehicle and is due to a faulty wire harness, which could fail at any time and cause a brake failure. I am truly afraid to operate this vehicle, and feel ALL 2017 silverado's should be recalled, and this faulty wire harness replaced, before people die.

Potential Consequences:
I was driving on along WT Harris highway and I attempted a turn along JW Clay Blvd. when my I pressed the gas and my truck didn't respond. I lost acceleration and it took a dangerous amount of time for me to cross the Highway. There aren't any warning lights or a check engine light on, but my transmission has begun to slip gears. This is after I had over 2k work done at the dealership for other problems I was having. Since no warning lights were visible it came as a complete shock in the middle of traffic when I could not accelerate. I have had my truck inspected by AAMCO Total Car Care and they have confirmed the problems and also the lack of warning lights or codes. After some research online I have found this issue common with Chevrolet Silverados manufactured between 2015-19.
