Description of the problem | 2019 gmc sierra shifts extremely hard when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear when accelerating after sitting idle for a long period of time. I took the vehicle to romain gmc in evansville, in and they stated that gm says this is how the transmission normally operates. This has the potential to be a safety issues as the engine goes into high revs and slams into gear, risking losing control of the vehicle, especially during icy or snowy conditions. This issue occurs daily, sometime multiple times a day. |
