Had a torque converter shudder which was fixed by updating to new gm fluids. After this service, around 1000 miles later i started experiencing hard shifts from 1st to 2nd gear. Took it into service where they changed a valve body. This got rid of my hard shifts for about 1500 miles, then it came back even worse. These problems occur when the car is in motion(usually under slow acceleration).

I purchased this car new in october, 2016. My transmission problems started soon after owning it, growing worse as time went on. The car would not shift, once it did, it lurched. It would miss shifting, lag, delay and roughly drive, even though being an automatic. The dealer only serviced new software updates; all else was ignored. In early august, 2019, a service manager told me to get a second opinion. I soon…

I bought the car new. It's been in shop 3 times already due to transmission issues. Always wanting to add different transmission fluids/flushing 18-na-355. Car has vibration and shudder at highway speed. Jerks as when gears change out for an automatic transmission. My car has low miles and very well taken care of inside and out. I do have more documentation if needed

Transmission hesitates hard shifts vibrates and shudders when accelerating. Especially noticable between 55 to 85 mph. Very dangerous when driving on highway or interstate as the hesitation during shudder may delay critical maneuvering of vehicle

My camaro shakes violently when the car cruises at around 1,200 to 1,400 rpm. I have taken it back to the dealer several times and have had the transmission tripled flushed. The problem goes away for a few days and then returns. The dealer says that they cannot do any more to rectify the problem, but the vibration is getting worse. I am concerned for both the safety and decreased value of my case as a result of gm…

Hard shifts between 1st & 2nd gear vibration between 1500 & 1800 rpm. This car has active fuel management vibration seems to happen worse when in 4 cylinder mode. Gm is aware of the issue and keeps promising a fix which has yet to be released. Blame it on fluid in transmission.

My car has been having a lot of vibrations, sputtering, rumbling while driving. Especially when speeding up. It happens while in cruise control also. I took it to be serviced and they said it was the torque converter. They flushed the system and said it should clear up after 200 miles with the new fluid they replaced. I took it back because it has been over 500 miles and is still happening. I was told all they can…

The front and back windows get a film on them. We were told it was because of the leather seats. When the car has been sitting when you start the car there is a shift flare from 1st to 2nd speed. It does it one time after it's been sitting for an hour or so.

The manual transmission bogs in first gear under aggressive acceleration from a standing start. This most often occurs when pulling out into traffic. I have had the vehicle almost stall on numerous occasions iwhen pulling out into traffic. I believe the cause is excessive torque management in the vehicle's ecu program.

When taking off from a stop, at normal speed, the engine bogs and almost stalls. This requires a re application of the clutch and more throttle to prevent stalling. This happens almost daily. It has happened while pulling into traffic from a driveway and almost caused an accident. I have been driving with a clutch for over 30 years on both cars and motorcycles. There is a real problem with the torque management…

Pulley bearing or pulley tensioner is squeaking. The service advisors at my dealer refused to believe any sort of noise, except another service rep said he hears it. They refused to fix any issue because they're lazy and dont want to pay for the part.
