This vehicle has a severe transmission shift issue that will likely cause an accident at some point. This vehicle has an Allison 10 speed transmission and began shifting extremely hard or violently from 7th to 8th gear in November of 2023. This problem began when pulling a travel trailer that is weight rated well below the capacity of this truck. This hard shift causes vehicle occupants to lunge during the event and it is feared that a catastrophic failure will occur, resulting in a vehicle accident. The vehicle was taken to the dealership where purchased as it is still under manufacturer's warranty, and in March of 2024 the dealership performed a software update and transmission "re-learn" which solved the issue until the truck was used to pull a travel trailer again. The issue returned in November of 2024. …

The differential, front right axil "housing" is rusted to the point that it is pitting. The rust completely covers the entire right axil housing and does not come close to matching the light corrosion when compared to the rest of the differential or anywhere else on the vehicle. These indicators lead me to believe the housing was in a corrosive environment prior to being installed onto the differential where both the internal and external surfaces of the housing were exposed to same corrosive environment. Several concerns: If the inside of the axil housing is rusted as bad as the outside, the integrity of the axil has been compromised; Internal rust contamination will lead to premature failure; the housing was not properly heat-treated; no vehicle should be delivered brand new with this level of rust on any part. The issue was pointed out to GM shortly after purchased new. …

My business work truck started not shifting properly. I dropped it off at Mirak Chevrolet in Arlington, MA on 4/29/25 and they diagnosed the vehicle needing a valve body part # 24065357. GM/Chevrolet has been unable to source this part and was unable to provide an eta. I immediately contacted GM and my case # is [redacted]. Then it was approved and escalated for a new transmission and same issue unable to source part and no eta. This is my business vehicle that has not been operable since [redacted] due to a manufacturer issue. No fault on my end. This is a brand new vehicle that should not have these type of issues. I have lost revenue, income, jobs, and I don't have a replacement vehicle. I have a loan on this vehicle that I am making payments towards but there is no end in sight. It has been a month with daily calls to GM for an update or for someone to call me back and nothing. …

I bought a new 2024 HD2500 with the 10 speed Allison. My truck is 1.5 years old with 8,900 miles on it. About 50% of its life I tow a 5,000 lb travel trailer. My Valve Module went out on it. The truck went into "limp" mode. Would run (very noisy) but would not move in either gear. Its been disabled at the Chevy dealer for 9 WEEKS. No ETA on a part. The internet is loaded with issues related to the 10 speed transmission being distributed by Chevy. Action by the NHTSA recommended. I live in a small town. There were 2 of the same trucks brought in a couple days ahead of mine and 8 more after my truck. ALL with the same problem. 2024 model year. The service manager at the dealer where I bought my truck at ( a larger town) told me there were TOO MANY of these failures for him to count. I'm dealing with GM. [redacted] customer service. …

While towing my travel trailer at 55 mph the truck rear tires locked up causing an alerting situation. The transmission automatically shifted out of tow/haul mode, the CEL illuminated and the following message appeared on the dash "reduced acceleration condition, drive with caution". This event happened a total of 3 times within a 20 mile distance. Because it was a short burst and I was traveling on a straight section of roadway, the risk of accident was moderate. This would have been a high risk of danger if I were on a curving downhill section of roadway. The situation was confirmed by my local dealer through a diagnostic check exhibiting a P0747 and P0700 error code. There were no CELs or other warnings prior to the lockup. The diagnosis was a problem with the transmission valve body. A new valve body was ordered and arrived 14 days later. …
