Had a torque converter shudder which was fixed by updating to new gm fluids. After this service, around 1000 miles later I started experiencing hard shifts from 1st to 2nd gear. Took it into service where they changed a valve body. This got rid of my hard shifts for about 1500 miles, then it came back even worse. These problems occur when the car is in motion(usually under slow acceleration).

Hello! I want to report gm on the infamous 8l45 transmission shudder. I have had the fluid changed in 2018, the torque converter changed in 2018, and the fluid flushed with the na-18-355 bulletin back last year. Although the shudder hasn't returned. I don't trust that this transmission shows quality. I worry that this will last until our warranties are up and we're on our own. This not acceptable. This is a weak point of this amazing car. I had rough shifting and I've had shifts that bucked. This is not safe. This should be a recall or gm should give everyone a longer warranty on these transmissions.
Takata recall I just purchased the Camaro it has 48 k miles and seems like the torque converter is trying to pass the transmission I have took it to several places to get it looked at and they keep telling me it's normal but there is nothing normal about a car that sounds like its about to break apart especially not this new I'm am about tired of the car and noone wanting to fix it even doh I have factory warranty on it and even extended warranty thru silverrock I have seen where many are having this problem with the transmission on these cars and noone wants to do anything about it.

My car has been having a lot of vibrations, sputtering, rumbling while driving. Especially when speeding up. It happens while in cruise control also. I took it to be serviced and they said it was the torque converter. They flushed the system and said it should clear up after 200 miles with the new fluid they replaced. I took it back because it has been over 500 miles and is still happening. I was told all they can do is replace the fluid again for now until they fix the problem. Why are they not able to replace the torque converter now before it causes more intensive damage? I am afraid as it gets worse I will be broken down on the side of the road with a car that is in worse repair than it should be.
Automatic 8 speed transmission shudders on light acceleration between 1300-1700rpm. This issue can be replicated and is especially noticeable when cruising up a slight incline at around 1500rpm. Chevrolet attempted a transmission fluid flush for me, and even a torque converter replacement for some other people, but the issue returns.

The contact owns a 2012 Chevrolet Camaro. While driving at 45 mph, the vehicle started to jerk violently. The failure recurred numerous times. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that the torque converter needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired; however, the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 17,000.
At rpm's approximately 1200-2000 car stutters, like it needs to downshift. Happens at various speeds when applying gradual acceleration. Dealer service says no error codes found, that this is "normal" on the 6 speed transmission & that because of all of the computer components, the transmission naturally lags. Seems to be problem in the torque converter?.
In may, started to feel a vibration/shimmy of some sort when accelerating in all sorts of speeds. Took vehicle to dealership and they could not duplicate. Vibration/shimmy continued and gradually become more frequent so took vehicle back to dealership in June in which the tech test drove and was able to duplicate the issue. Was told he was not the transmission expert so they had the so called transmission expert test drive and he was unable to duplicate the problem. Took my car back to the dealership the very next day and it was determined to be the torque converter. The transmission had to be flushed due to metal shavings in the transmission. I have had continuous problems with the transmission since the torque converter was replaced. The transmission is hesitating when attempting to increase speed, it slams into gear, downshifts when its not suppose to and the vibration is slowly starting to come back. Dealership is claiming this is normal for the type of transmission I have and its operating as designed.
Transmission & torque converter had to be replaced at 54,000 miles. Easy, highway mileage only on vehicle. I have all receipts for maintenance of vehicle since day purchased. Vehicle maintained in strict adherence to owner's manual long trip/highway maintenance schedule.
