    It feels like i am running over rumble strips when going 40-60 mph and low rpm. A brief internet search reveals that this is a common issue that appears to be related to the transmission. The issue began recently. I have 40k commuter miles on the truck.

    Twice now my 2017 w/~41000 miles has gone into instant, no warning or grace period, but an instant drop to a forced 10 mph in the middle of traffic, this last time on a highway with no shoulders during rush hour. The three codes thrown the first time (i don't have the codes from the second time but the dealer is ordering a new ecm based on the u0401 code): rc (radio controls): b1325 - control module power circuit -…

    The transmission is slipping between 3rd and 4th gear. Takes a few seconds to actually get into gear. When brought back to the dealership they were able to replica the problem. When it was brought up to be repaired with gm they reported the issue as normal and to make sure the transmission fluid is warmed up prior to drive.

    Transmission shutters when going at a constant speed. This started around 10k miles and the dealership has tried to fix it three times without success. First two times they replaced the torque converter and third time they replaced the transmissions fluid. The truck also shifts very hard from first gear to second gear with a huge jerking motion around 10 mph. This is very dangerous when driving in parking lots or…
