My 2016 started having the shudder around 39,000 miles. My tires were pretty worn (I like to drive a lot :blush: ) and we thought maybe changing those would help. The worn tires made it feel like the shudder feel like it was going through the steering column. Changing the tires did help, but there’s still a mild shudder. It’s tolerable, but... as someone said earlier, we pay the money we do for a good ride.
I brought the car in today. It’s covered under the Powertrain warranty. The service advisor offered no resistance — he said the problem has come up with other vehicles and they are aware of it. He even mentioned the change in transmission fluid because the original used was “too thin.”
The service advisor mentioned one Camaro owner came in and the flush alone didn’t fix it. I got the sense I was going to get the flush and TC replacement, but I’m waiting to hear. We’ll see.
But again, thank you for the post because it immediate gave me peace of mind that I’m not crazy and there is a potential fix. I’ll check in if any other details are shared and offer an update on how the car feels after the repair!
Edit: The dealer did the flush and it feels immensely better. The service advisor said to give it about 200 miles for the fluid to circulate through the system; until then it might shudder a bit. If it has, I haven’t noticed it. So far, so good. Keeping my fingers cross this fix works. If it doesn’t, I’ll have to go back to get the TC replaced.

Still OK?
Wish there was a poll on how many experience this problem. Sorry if i missed it. Sounds like a lot having the shudder. But people with failures are more vocal then someone with no issues.
