2016 GMC Sierra 1500 4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed
355-horsepower 5.3L V8 8-speed shiftable automatic 4WD w/low range
| 20000 mi | Transmission was shuddering at highway speeds under light throttle application. The dealer seemed to know of this problem. The transmission fluid was drained and flushed, the filter changed, and a new transmission fluid added. Was told to drive for 300 miles and if problem returns, I would need a new torque converter. The truck is fine so far (but I have only had it back from the dealer 2 days). |
| 28000 mi | Transmission vibration has returned. Dealer updated software. |
