What owners wrote
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 GMC sierra. While driving approximately 5 MPH, the vehicle failed to shift out of gear and there was a delay of three to four seconds before shifting into second gear. The failure recurred every morning. The vehicle was taken to the dealer (jim causley, located at 38111 gratiot ave, clinton township, mi 48036) where it was confirmed that GM was aware of the issue. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired.
Truck lags power when pressing the gas pedal at times after putting transmission into drive from reverse. Transmission shifts hard into and out of first gear and at times feels like it is skipping 2nd gear during a downshift.
