Hello, everyone. New forum member, longtime Camaro owner (I'm on my fourth one).

I've been experiencing the A8 shudder. I have a 2018 2SS Redline Edition that I bought brand new in July. I contacted the service department at my local dealership and spoke with the guy who runs their shop (whom I've known for quite a while now). I gave him the service bulletin number that I found thanks to these forums, and he said, "yeah, we've been doing a lot of these, mostly on Silverados."

I'm taking mine in Thursday morning for the triple flush treatment. It seems crazy to me that this is an ongoing issue since the 2015 model year, is affecting vehicles up to the current (2019) model year, and they still haven't come up with a proper solution. I've seen the revised service bulletin that states:

"...A revised service procedure will be released in Q1 of 2019. If the vehicle experiences a repeat shudder condition, this document should be followed again..."


How have GM's engineers not come up with an actual solution to this four year old problem? Why am I taking off work to take my brand new car to the dealership to have a temporary fix applied to a four year old problem? I just paid GM $48,000 for a car that had a known, four year old problem, and now it's up to me to miss work to have a four year old problem addressed. Is GM going to reimburse me for the pay I missed out on because I had to take my brand new car in for an issue that existed for two model years before I bought my car?

I saw somewhere in these forums that someone asked why a class action lawsuit had not been filed already on behalf of everyone who owns any of the 11 affected vehicle models. General Motors had better get this fixed before they find themselves in trouble.
