Description of the problem | "the transmission does not downshift from a high gear (5 or 6) to a lower gear when slowing down from 45 mph to 20 mph (or lower). When the accelerator is depressed to accelerate the engine bucks, vibrates, and does not accelerate. The engine rpm drops to 1,000 rpm or lower. If the accelerator is quickly floored the transmission downshifts several gears lower and jerks forward. This condition happens primarily on secondary roads while driving along the road and when pulling from one road into traffic on another road. The situation when pulling into traffic is dangerous because the truck does not accelerate as it should. This truck was purchased new and has 1200 miles on it. This condition has been present since the truck was purchased and the severity varies with truck speed and road inclination. I reported the situation to the dealer and they attempted a fix (had the truck for three days) that supposedly involved a "new download" from chevrolet, but it didn't change a thing. Dealer knows it didn't fix anything and says chevrolet may have a "recall update", but reading all the other similar complaints, i'm suspicious. In the 1 month i have had the truck, i have almost been hit twice by approaching traffic because of hesitant acceleration. This is a dangerous problem and chevrolet need to fix it immediately. I |
