I took my 2016 2SS Vert A8 into Sam Packs' Five Star Chevrolet in Carrolton for the triple flush at about 1K miles and they did it no questions asked. The customer rep that I met when I got there was very familiar with the issues and TSB's on these cars, but he is unfortunately no longer there. :/

I have a 2018 2SS Redline Convertible and I'm happy to report that the Thompson Group in Grapevine, Texas changed my transmission fluid to fix the so called "shudder" without argument. It seems that we get lots of complaints on this Forum about dealers so I'm glad to report that I have a good one.

Bumped to see if anybody else has had experience with a dealer in the DFW area changing their tranny fluid under TSB 18-NA-355.

The wording is super confusing anyway - who wrote this anyway? Were they intentionally making it super vague?
"Vehicles that are presented with TCC shudder should have the appropriate fluid exchange procedure completed. Diagnosis beyond the customer compliant is not required if vehicle was built prior to production dates indicated above. For vehicles built after the production dates listed above." The product date is listed as a range. The wording says diagnosis not required if vehicle build prior to production dates indicated above. That makes no sense. That literally means it was built before the date range listed, not within the date range listed. So you could have a pretty hard time convincing a dealer that GM meant to say diagnosis isn't required for vehicles built within the range of production dates listed. Which isn't what the TSB says. Typical GM.... |

I'll be taking my 2016 2SS (with 1880 miles on it) into the dealer as soon as it comes out of storage here in snowy MI. I'm taking the TSB with me. Don't know if it has the issue as I haven't even driven it since buying it Dec 1. I'm going to head it off at the pass, so to speak! I'm not sure why a dealer wouldn't just do the TSB now, since verification is not required. That's cashflow for the service dept that comes from GM's pocket, not theirs! (at least for cars under 6-60, which all are under 6, but some may be >60) If I were a dealer I'd be "suggesting" this service to every customer!

Mine is at Classic Chevrolet for unrelated issues, I can call them and ask my service adviser to see what they are doing. I have a M6 so it doesn't apply to my car

I need to take my 2018 Colorado in at some point to have this done, I will take this TSB with me. Looks like it was corrected in that vehicle in 2019, so since I bought it in July 2018 it's within the window for sure. Still under B2B in my case too. Under 10K miles still too. My Camaro is a M6 so no worries there. |

Yeah, sure is. They should have worded it to say that if the vehicle was built prior to the "TO" date under Date Breakpoint, it's potentially affected.
Folks whose cars are close to that breakpoint are going to have a harder time getting it done. They'd have to know the production date, and then argue with the dealer (and GM) whether their trans is one of the "fixed" ones from production. That's probably where the VIN lookup came into play with an earlier poster. FWIW, my wife's DD is a '16 CTS AWD with the 8L45. Nearing 40k and it's never shuddered.
