The clutch torque converters wear out so fast and they wear out so close to the end of the vehicles warranty.

Torque converter locking up on random occasions with no warning before shifting period very dangerous while in traffic or trying to turn. Gm told me they knows about this problem of course and said install a new transmission with updated parts that were bad from the factory.

6. 2l engine had faulty injectors and had to be replaced. Gm said my truck had a warranty block so I had to contact the bbb and go to mediation to get injectors replaced. Now I'm noticing a shudder (vibration) while driving with a fluttering of the rpm�s. All my research has led me to believe it is a faulty torque converter. My wife has a 2017 camaro that is having the same issue. Dealership stated that they are replacing the faulty torque converters in vehicles with 8 speed transmission, but will not replace mine because gm has put a block on my warranty. Gm cannot provide any evidence giving them reason to block my warranty on my vehicle.

Purchased my 17 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 on 11/28/17 and returned it to the dealership on 12/1/17. This was due to a severe shuddering & shifting in the transmission & severe shake in the front end at 70-90mph. They balanced & rotated the tires, saying the issue was fixed, I picked the vehicle back up on 12/4/17 but the issue was not fixed & an electrical issue had also occurred. I took the vehicle back on 12/7/18 with the same complaints regarding the transmission & shaking in the front end, as well as the electrical issue. The problem electrically was while sitting at a stoplight the bright lights flashed & the radio/navigation screen went blank. The dealership called me on 12/8/17, told me they had been unable to duplicate the issues, finding nothing wrong. I left it over the weekend, went in Monday morning & spoke to the service manager directly. He told me he had purchased the same vehicle with the same transmission issues. Said there was a possible fix by exchanging the transmission fluid & they would use a new machine pico to check it out. They had to replace the torque converter due to malfunctioning & perform a programming module update on radio, I picked it up on 12/22/17, issue with the transmission was still not resolved. I took it to a different dealership for transmission shudder, shift & shake issue most noticeable at 70-90mph, & radio issue. They were advised to perform a module update on the transmission & given 2 options on the radio, they chose to replace the screen. I took it back to that same dealership, module update made transmission/front end issue worse, especially coming out of a curve. They've replaced my 2 back tires said they were bad & should fix the shaking issue in the front end. Unable to duplicate transmission issues thus they cannot repair it. Owners with the same issues are being told gm knows but can't fix transmission issue.
