This is a powertrain issue, covered for 5 years or 60,000 miles. If you have a higher mileage, that's a problem, I think in this case you will need to pay for the flush and, if it doesn't help because the torque converter is already damaged past the point of no return, for TC replacement. Yes, it sucks that GM kept punting this and you may have run out of warranty in the meantime.
I haven't heard of any single case when the flush with the new Jan 2019 fluid + potential TC replacement wouldn't resolve the issue.
If I were you, I'd bite the bullet and tell the dealership to fix it no matter what, you will lose more by getting rid of the car and buying another Camaro or something else.
