Great so GM won’t cover the 2019 fix because I’ll be past the 60k/3 year. Even tho it’s documented that I’ve been dealing with it all along?!
That is pure evil. I was hoping to keep this car, not wanting to lose tons of money on a trade in

Yeah, I don't want this the be a fry Al or GM thread. I called this hours after the official answer, made my case, and moved on. I bring this new information because first and foremost, I am an enthusiast, and I want you guys to be enjoying your car the way you should be able too. It is very possible GM thought the flush would work, or work long enough. In many cases the flush would in fact stop the shudder,often times only temporarily, but still worked. Perhaps it just took more data, more global warranty claims, and more $ spent by GM on LV HP fluid, to really get some attention. I would imagine there will be some "special coverage" for customers with a documented history of shudder, who have fallen out of powertrain warranty. We will have to wait for those answers.

I am not even going to take mine into the dealer for this issue since I was going to buy a converter with a higher stall anyway. I'll just do that and have it tuned.

Just curious if after the 3rd try of failing to fix this shudder issue will this be considered a lemon car in California?

$2k is about the diff in trade-in vs street value... I’ll be dumping this car if the 2019 fix isn’t covered for the 2016 owners.

Seems silly to dump a really good sports car over a torque converter...? Many of us would upgrade to a better converter anyway. And if it’s $2K to do a bulletproof one, well many people spend that much on just a cat back exhaust. So, I don’t blame people for being pissed, but the fix really isn’t bad at all. Rest of the car seems solid. Just my humble opinion.

Going in, you shouldn't expect to have to do anything like that, but when it comes down to the choice between spending $2k on a mod that fixes the problem and throwing away a big chunk of a $40k outlay just to save that $2k - on a car that you may otherwise really like - the $2k mod becomes the more attractive option even from the $ point of view.
