Experienced the transmission shudder and had the tranny fluid changed in early Dec '23 with 43k miles. It rode like a dream for about 1,000 miles but is back to it's old trick. Just talked to dealership who said my Powertrain Warranty expired two weeks ago and it needs a torque converter for a truck that has 45,000 miles.  I am so f'ing mad I promise you I will never buy another Chevy and do everything in my power save my friends from a similar nightmare. Did I mention it was a $66,000 truck in 2019 and this is what I get...Has anyone had any success appealing to GM customer relations on this issue?

Just got mine back from the dealership. Took it in for the first oil change at 3300 miles. I reported shuddering @ 3500 rpm on hard acceleration. I had to leave the truck so the trans tech drove it 14 miles without me in the truck. He checked for codes, fluid level, leaks etc. He could find no problem or it didn't act up for him on his road test. I think he was thorough in his inspection however he could not verify my complaint. This issue has not been resolved and I will persevere until it is corrected.  I now have the issue reported/ documented.

I’m really considering not buying another GM truck. Parents Acadia engine went out, wife’s Yukon transmission went coming back from cali last August in Az costing over $10K.
 

I’ve had my transmission cooler line replaced, passenger side lifters replaced, my transmission triple flush with reprogram transmission module.

 

My ‘19 TB is my first truck, so I’m considering other options out there. Just need to do some test driving before my powertrain warranty goes out March ‘25.

I just made a post regarding my transmission issues...

 

In the prior 2-3 weeks I had been noticing this same shudder a lot of you had mentioned. 

 

I didn't know of this new and improved fluid. I also heard that there was a redesigned gear or something for the 10 speed GM had done after issues with backorder delays...?

    • Welcome back! No, it definitely doesn't pass the sniff test. Even "ceasefire" needs an alternative definition these days.    $5.29 at Kroger today
    • That makes sense, and I think you are describing the real product problem. Capturing data is the easy part. If the owner or technician has to manually dig through five minutes of millisecond-level logs, the product has already failed. The device would be at the ECM harness, not at the OBD port, so I agree that data retrieval and event marking need to be thought through carefully. The way I am thinking about the architecture is: The recorder itself should not depend on a phone, app, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, or cloud connection to capture the event. It should always keep a local rolling buffer and lock the event locally. A button, phone app, or small cabin device would only act as an event marker. If the driver feels a stumble and presses the button 10–30 seconds later, the pre-buffer has to already contain the useful data. For data retrieval, the practical options would be a sealed service USB lead, Wi-Fi download, or a phone/cabin companion device. I would not expect the owner to remove the ECM-side module or work with raw files directly. The cloud or AI side would be for interpretation, not for capturing the event. The truck may have no connection when the issue happens, so the evidence has to be saved locally first. After that, cloud processing could help decode the data, compare it against baselines, and generate a readable report. For the first version, I would keep the automatic triggers conservative and objective: driver event marker bus-off error passive voltage drop / brownout device reset FIFO or queue overflow a normally periodic message disappearing side-to-side communication mismatch, if the topology supports that For “learning normal,” I agree with your point, but I would not want to overclaim it as automatic root-cause diagnosis at first. A realistic first step would be learned baseline comparison for that specific vehicle and operating condition. For example, a value would only be compared against similar conditions: RPM range load / MAP throttle position gear / vehicle speed coolant and oil temperature battery voltage AFM/DFM state, if decoded and validated Then the report could flag things like: this periodic message disappeared compared with its normal timing this value deviated from this vehicle’s normal range under similar conditions the same abnormal pattern repeated after the same type of event the anomaly occurred together with voltage, oil-pressure, misfire, or communication changes But I would still call that “abnormal pattern detected,” not “replace this part,” unless there is enough validated repair data behind it. So the intended product would not be “here is a huge log.” It would need to be an event package: what triggered the capture how much pre/post data was preserved what changed before and after the event whether the device itself reset, overflowed, or saw a bus error selected graphs around the event raw data only as supporting evidence From your perspective, what would make this kind of report useful instead of just another datalog? For example: What are the top 5 parameters or events you would want highlighted first? Would you trust a learned baseline for that specific vehicle, or would you prefer fixed thresholds? How much false-positive flagging would be acceptable before you stopped looking at the reports? What would a one-page report need to show for an independent shop to take it seriously? For misfire, AFM/DFM, oil pressure, or U-code complaints, what would you want the tool to flag automatically?
