Pissed about the shutter issue

I bought one of the first 2016 Camaros in Tampa. Just happened to be at the dealer looking into trading in my 2014 Camaro that I had just got out of the body shop after my neighbor crushed it. The 2016 just rolled off the trucks. The dealer pulled up a nice blue 2016 RS LT1. Gave me payoff on mine.

I have had this shudder issue since my car was new. I thought it was a bad coil pack. My wife's Outlook used to have a similar issue we had the plugs and a couple of coil packs replaced and it cleared up.

I have told the dealer twice about the shutter issue. They did reprogram my transmission a month ago. They never mentioned that there were any know issues. I put a lot of my miles on my car the first 5 months I had it . Used to have a 104 round trip to work. Now I work out of my house so I have only put a thousand miles on it the last couple of years. It has around 16,000 now. So my fluid should have been replaced long ago.

It is hard to drive with the shutter. You either have to back off the pedal or hit the gas. Happens at cruising speeds.

I am calling the dealer tomorrow and ripping into their ass. It is BS GM hasn't put this out. Dealers are just ignoring the complaints.

I am a GM fan. My grandfather retired from Fisher Body in the 1960's. My dad retired from GM in the 90's.

I love the car but the transmission issue makes it unbearable to drive. My dad is selling his 1989 Corvette with 30,000 miles on it. I might trade the Camaro and my wife's Oulook in and get my wife a new car. Then buy my dad's old Vette. Though I have an 1982 Vette sitting in the garage.

I decided to check on the 8 speed transmission because the 2019 Camaro is coming out with the 6 speed auto so I knew there was some type of issue.
