OK guys... maybe time to step back from the keyboards for a bit.
I'm frustrated also as the two issues I've had with my $42K car have been unresolved as well. As a matter of fact it's been in the shop for a week now without an update. The good news is I do have a loaner and hopefully the dealer will address the issues as best possible. While I'm certainly not happy with the situation I personally will not be throwing F Bombs at anyone as this won't help anything and espically in these crazy times I refuse to be part of the "going nuts on people you don't like or agree with" culture we're currently living in. This being said I certainly hope that any "fix" GM comes out with for the trans/rear end issues comes with an extended warranty. I bought my car to keep and would hate to have to get rid of it before the 5/50 expires. I think the fear of GM "playing the clock" to walk away from this issue is adding to the frustration of many. It wouldn't be the first time an automotive company has used this tactic to shirk their responsibility in resolving a defective design. |

I can only tell you my experience, I haven't had any issues like this with any of my Camaros, including 3rd Gen and 4th Gen. I don't expect the car to be perfect, but yes I expect more quality for a higher price point. That's kind of how the world works if you didn't know. And in a case where you don't get that quality, the blame lies with the provider, not the buyer. Your "you should have known better" and "it's hard to fix these problems guyyys" arguments are ridiculous at best. This is no ones fault but Chevy's and if they want to keep long term customers they should be bending over backwards to satisfy us, not pushing us away.

And nobody said anything about putting the blame on the customer. The point is EVERY car will have problems and GM is working to provide a real fix. Anything other than GM going back and time and reengineering the car to be completely perfect is unacceptable to you. If I worked for GM I wouldn't want you as a long term customer because your expectations are unrealistic. |

So got the car back from the second flush on both the rear end and the trans. Heard a hint of groan from the rear end on my first turn out of the dealership and the pretty sure I the shudder pulling slowly away from the third traffic light. I guess I'll know more later this week when I drive it across town for work.

If this was just a Camaro problem, I might could take this shudder shit a little better, but it isn't. It affects ANYTHING with an A8 tranny in it. GM screwed up big time and they know it. They have a lot of their dealers big money customers complaining,ready to jump ship because of this shitty shifting transmission.

I got my car back this afternoon. George the service department manager said that they put an old stock TC in the trans. He knows it's gonna fail but his will get me to the 1st quarter of 19 plus some. As mentioned above, the Colorados are really effected by this and the truck market is their bread and butter. We should be so lucky at 35K to 50K for a Camaro. Have you looked at a sticker on a Silverado lately?? What are the fleet owners saying to Chevy>

They better extract their heads from their asses and come up with a viable solution and not another band aid.

My warranty will be up by 1st quarter of 2019, will I be SOL? Had flush a couple thousand miles ago but I feel the shudder returning.

If you wish to make sure your other systems are covered; such as headlights, infotainment, gauge cluster, information/HUD systems, AC, heated/vented seats, or even TPMS receivers -- then you'll want to acquire a GM extended warranty plan like GMEPP prior to your vehicle hitting the 36/36k limit of the original warranty. My dealer seems to think GM will be sending original owners of effected 8L90 vehicles a notice that they are provided a 48/48k B2B and 84/100k PT warranty extension offer at either a greatly reduced price or no charge to lessen the weight behind the multiple class action suits that have been filed against them for chronic powertrain issues with 2015 & newer vehicles with 8L series transmissions. I wouldn't hold my breath and would buy GMEPP before your chance expires and if such an offer comes, call the notice support number and request a refund for the extension you already bought. |

What I can't figure out is...
Why the F##K have they been dragging their feet with it. Are their engineers such morons that it took 3+ years to figure out the issue? People should be fired over this. Period. |
