Hard to argue that this problem has gone on way too long. I know the issue drives me nuts when on the freeway and if I were on the road for work like I was 10 years ago I would probably be much more vocal. Now that I'm driving more in the 6K miles/year range the annual trans flush seems to be keeping the symptoms at bay.
That being said unless an actual fix, along with a warranty extension comes in the next year I'll be getting out of my car and with it GM products. While I might not like waiting I do understand the scope of the issue GM faces with this type of situation. I'm sure they understand that whatever they do to it has to actually fix this problem correctly or they'll have a real mess on their hands. |

Nsxmatt - dude - chill out. I don't think anybody here doesn't know a fix is coming soon and is trying to get a dealer to come up with another solution. The thing is, this problem really makes the car suck to drive, and even though everybody knows the flush is not a true solution, it has at least stopped the problem in the meantime. I and everyone else here just wants that to get us to the Q1 fix at least. Personally, I am just worried that just letting it go in the meantime will cause more damage that they won't cover in the fix, and I'm sure others feel the same way. This car is my only one and I drive it 40 miles a day on my commute. I can deal with it until the Q1 fix if I have to, but I just hope I'm not causing more damage to other components in the meantime. And yeah, I only have this car for the joy it brings. I gave up a fully working, totally fine nice car to get this car and feel a little cheated now. I don't want to give up this car, but if that Q1 fix doesn't work, I guess I'm going Mustang for the first time.
I'm sure nobody actually wants to use the lemon law, but it's a good idea to get prepared for that in case the fix doesn't work. Remember that they had a fix already and it didn't work. The problem has been ongoing for 3 years. It's hard to blame us if we don't have full confidence that they are going to fix it for good this time.

I have a 2018 lt RS V6 with only 900 miles that's experiencing this already.
The first day I took delivery of the car I did notice it a little bit but didn't think much of it just driving around in town. When I first got it out on the highway last weekend I really started to notice it. And when using the cruise control it's just ridiculous how much the RPMs jump up and down. So after reading up on all this, this is a issue that's been ongoing for 3 years and there still really no definite fix for this? Hard to believe I just purchased a brand new vehicle that has issues right off the bat..And not just a minor issue we're talkin about the freaking transmission / torque converter. Taking it to the dealership Monday to drop it off and hope that they come up with something that's going to remedy this and not just put a Band-Aid on it. |

So hopefully this is just detailing the physical things needing to be shipped and the service bulletin itself will include a tune and instructions to replace the torque converter if it's too far gone. One can hope, anyway. Thanks for posting that regardless. It's nice to hear any news about this.

Had to take my 2017 RS in for this problem on Monday. The car has 18,350 miles on it. The dealership called this morning and said that they are doing a one-time flush of the transmission fluid, I asked why they were not following the 3-step procedure in SI #156-NA-175. The rep said that in their experience, a one-time flush solves the problem in 75% of cases. Argued about it a bit, and he said that if the problem reoccurred after 350 miles, the plan would be to go head and install a new TCC.
Not too pleased about them not following the SI. Thoughts anyone? |

Chances are, if you went back after 350 miles for a new TC, they would then refer to the bulletin which says not to replace the TC because of the upcoming Q1 fix.

Until the new fluid and procedure goes live globally, any deviation from 16-NA-175 or 18NA-177 will result in un-paid dealer claims. Tomorrow the new procedure, and info on the new fluid will be demonstrated via EIB through the learning center.

Hi. I just wanted to affirm. I just took my SS on a 900 mile road trip between TX and Atlanta GA. While on the interstate, I felt my car shuddering when applying mild acceleration at speeds between 60 and 80 MPH. Feels alittle like running over rumble strips...alittle...is this the infamous torque shudder? I want to try to have it fixed before returning to Texas. Is there a TSB I can show my dealer? I know it's been hashed over endlessly and there probably is one it's just hard looking stuff up on this phone and I'm not near my PC in TX.
Thanks. |
