Shaky Mess of a Truck

I have had this vehicle for two months and it has spent 20+ days in the shop. The truck vibrates at all speeds above 40 mph and can be felt in the floor, seat, steering wheel ,pedals, etc. Even though multiple dealerships have confirmed there is an issue GM corporate has stated the vehicle is "operating as designed". Not sure which car companies design their truck to make the occupants nauseous. Anyone looking to purchase this truck should research Sierra/Silverado vibration issues and purchase something else. GM isn't going to make it right or fix your issue so steer clear. Update- Switched to a RAM Rebel and couldn't be happier.

My 2017 Sierra 1500 with 65,000 miles is currently in the shop getting a $4000 transmission rebuild. I have never towed or plowed with this vehicle. This shop says they see this all the time with 2017 Silverados and Sierras. Consumer reports gives these transmissions its lowest rating and says they have major and minor failures. There is a class action lawsuit for 8 speed GM transmissions if you want to join it.

All terrain option SL 5.3 v4 to v8 with the 8 Speed transmission Red with 22" wheels NICE! So far very pleased with my choice. Low gear and low speed the transmission shifts a little hard at times (mostly when in crawling traffic). All terrain option a tiny bit bouncier ride but I love it so far.It's on the pricy side but its a great truck and not made of Aluminium. (former f150 owner).

Overall it's a nice truck. It rides well, is comfy, and has almost every bell and whistle. Almost everything seems to be at 90% of my expectations. The transmission is constantly searching, and the entertainment system already seems dated.

The eight speed transmission seems to have problems.
