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).

During acceleration and deceleration, the 8-speed automatic transmissions seems to jump as if it is missing gears. This has been an ongoing issue for some months. The vehicle was purchased brand new in 2016 with only 12 miles. Diagnostic testing has been performed and nothing has been found. However, this issue still persists. Also, the backup camera, radio, and entire mylink system went out. After diagnostics, it…
