I have been struggling with the torque converter shudder issue since shortly after getting the car (2016 SS) at 32K. Got the first flush a year ago, and it was good for a while. Late last year, the issue came back, but it was mild. Dealer could not reproduce the issue. Early this year, I got the second flush based on the language in the TSB that says they can do it based only on customer complaint. That actually made the problem worse, and a few weeks ago I could start to make it shudder on demand (light load at 40 mph +). Took it back to the dealer, they drove it, and they said yup the torque converter is toast. Just in time, the car is at 55K miles.

So I got the car back, and it feels great. Big thanks to the guys at Simi Valley Chevrolet. They helped make it right.
