If it were anywhere near even 10%, GM would have placed the transmission on stop order and would have recalled all potentially failing units.

All well and good. But since I don't have time to walk around and chase down every SS A8 owner on the streets, I go off the community here. One poll has 78 stating they have the shudder vs 25 not. That's 75% with the shudder.
And most don't have it reliably fixed.
If someone has knowledge of this and still gets an A8, best of luck and cross your fingers. Not something I'd be parting with $37K+ for. Oh and I don't trust GM doing the right thing by any means regarding recalls. That's actually laughable.
