My Z71 has 18,900 miles on it. I just started to experience the transmission shudder. I'm taking it to the dealer next week. I plan on keeping it parked in driveway until then. Looking for those with the experience of getting it repaired and any subsequent problems. TIA!
This is for 2023 3rd Gen Trucks. This could be the cause why they may not do over-the-air (OTA) updates. FYI
A new GM preliminary information bulletin, PIP6127, changes how dealers handle torque converter replacement on certain truck models.
The PIP bulletin, which are similar to technical service bulletins, covers 2019-2022 Silverado and Sierra 1500 models equipped with the 5.3L V8 or 2.7L Turbo, along with 2023-2026 versions using the 2.7L Turbo. It also covers every 2023-2026 Colorado and Canyon equipped with the 2.7L and eight-speed automatic.

FYI for those who have experienced the radiator hose leak or may experience it. GM is planning to refund those who had to pay for the repair.

I received these 2 notifications yesterday for Update 633.20. I have had several updates since July '24 when I bought my '24 Z71 but first time the Chevy app on my phone notified me.
The update went just fine and the release notes were accurate. FYI
Just got our 2026 JGC Limited 4x4 out of our dealer service dept. They performed two recalls on the 2.0L Hurricane I4 Turbo. We have 1,800 miles on it.
First was RSU 26-104 which software updated the TCM and PCM modules. There is no more throttle lag on launch nor any transmission shaking at low speed. It really takes off immediately! This is definitely faster than our 2020 3.6L Pentastar
Second was the 1-66D to replace the main spark plugs.
For those interested, I included the work order detail on the above recalls. FYI
Here are finance offers for July '26
What the Update Includes
If you don't currently subscribe to Mint Mobile, you might be wondering if this free data upgrade might finally win you over. JD Power says Mint Mobile leads the way in customer satisfaction, but let's do the math.
The lowest-tier plan, 6 GB, costs $15 a month, with payment due upfront; the amount you'll owe will vary depending on whether you choose a 3-, 6-, or 12-month plan.
Compare that to Xfinity, which also costs $15 a month for unlimited data, but only for the first year. After that, it's $45 a month.
Meanwhile, Mint Mobile's unlimited phone plan costs $30 a month. Sounds like a no-brainer, right? Especially since many wireless companies try to sell you service bundles. Who needs a phone plan that works like cable TV if you're just going to use streaming services like Netflix? Well, Mint Mobile is no stranger to limitations.

The Z71 did an over-the-air update this morning. It was fairly large over 3GB. In reviewing the release notes it was dominantly for correcting issues with CarPlay.
I don't use CarPlay, I use Android Auto. I think a community member had has issue with this version when they updated where they had to disconnect the battery for 10 or 15 minutes and that seem to correct it all. I didn't have any problems after the update. FYI.
Anyone experiencing bluetooth issues in the 2026 Jeep Grand Cherokee? My phone keeps disconnecting from android auto and bluetooth in general. I have to unpair the jeep and phone, reboot my phone, and reboot the UConnect 5 infotainment system to get to where I can re-pair them again. Others having issues if so were you able to get it fixed? Thank you.
We traded in our 2020 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4x4 Limited for this 2026 Grand Cherokee 4x4 Limited. Got a pretty good deal. I was surprised at the trade-in value because it was a couple of thousand more than Kelly Blue Book. It seems Jeep Dealers are eager for pre-owned Jeep Grand Cherokees.
I was worried about the engine given the comments. However, many other reviewers were positive about it. The 2.0L Turbo Hurricane has more HP and Torque than the 3.6L Pentastar in the 2020. I like the new engine. Glad they kept the 8 speed transmission. Obviously we will see how it does as others have experienced either good or bad.
Hi. Could be joining this group. Wanted to find those experienced with the
2.0L HURRICANE 4 TURBO W/ESS engine as to it's power and reliability. Thank you for any comments!
For those who have experience with AEV are they good quality?

I started have a problem with the air inlet panel which sits below the windshield. One side got separated and the rubber/plastic piece that goes across the bottom of the shield fell below the windshield.
I had it repaired in Nov. 25 and it broke again this past week. The dealer told me there was a technical bulletin#25-NA-127 (attached link) which required new parts to be ordered. They will call when the parts come in.
This just an FYI for those who may be having the same problem.
For those of you who have a 2022 or later model and who use Android Auto. I've had Gemini on my Google Home smart home manager for 5 months and works really well. This should make the AA use even better.
