In 2017, the Chevy Silverado faced a significant number of transmission complaints, leading some experts to label it as the 'worst model of the year' due to its frequent transmission issues. Owners frequently reported problems including hesitating and rough shifting during operation, which sometimes resulted in jerky movements while changing gears and even a loud "clunk" noise from the rear of the vehicle that felt like a collision. The transmission also exhibited surging and hesitation when accelerating on highways, as well as jerky behavior at lower speeds and when moving from a standstill. Apart from transmission issues, the 2017 Silverado is also associated with abnormal oil consumption, causing the truck to lose nearly 3 quarts of engine oil between oil changes.

I own a 2017 V6 with a six-speed transmission, and in the 60,000 miles I've driven, I haven't experienced any issues at all. It doesn't require any oil, so I guess I lucked out with a solid vehicle.

In 2017, my 2500hd with 58,000 miles experienced a transmission issue after a one-hour highway drive. The transmission started slipping and then refused to engage, feeling like it was stuck in neutral regardless of the gear selector position. This had never happened in my previous three 2500hds, all of which had over 200,000 miles and no transmission problems. I am frustrated with Chevrolet and disappointed by the one-month wait for service at the Chevy dealer.

Here's a paraphrased version in American English:

I have a 2017 Suburban 4x4 LT with 117,000 miles on it that I bought brand new. I've kept up with regular servicing, never taken it off-road or driven it aggressively. Unfortunately, the transmission is shot and needs to be completely replaced.

In 2017, my Silverado had 50,000 miles on it when the transmission needed to be replaced, costing over $5000. Luckily, I had purchased an extended warranty when I bought the truck, which was a very fortunate decision. It seems that GM is experiencing transmission issues with their trucks.

Just discovered that my 2017 Silverado requires a new 6-speed transmission at 58,000 miles because the torque converter is failing. General Motors seems to have changed from what they once were.
