- 2015–2019 8-speed automatic transmission. The 8L90/8L45 eight-speed is widely reported to shudder and clunk on light throttle — the well-known "Chevy shake" — traced largely to the torque converter and transmission fluid.
- 2014–2021 5.3L V8 (Active Fuel Management). The Gen V 5.3 V8 with cylinder deactivation is widely reported for collapsed AFM lifters, wiped camshaft lobes and heavy oil consumption, usually announced by a persistent tick.
