Purchased my vehicle just a few months ago and had zero issues, other than pesky afm bull. Within the last month, transmission began shuddering and jerking as if slipping gears under normal driving conditions. Soon thereafter, a whining noise started that was more prevalent during gear change. Spoke to technicians at my local gm dealership service department and he informed me that this is an extremely common issue with this year model and transmission. According to this senior technician, they have found that a fluid swap can cure these issues because the what is called for from factory just doesn't cut the mustard. Checked the system, and to my astonishment, there are no recalls or service bulletins for this known issue. Take my truck in for services, hoping all I would need still is the fluid swap, and now the technicians are telling me I need to fork over 5k for a new new transmission because mine is shot. Even more to my amazement, I start looking around on this site and there have been a ton of similar complaints surrounding this year make and model tranamission, and yet, gm has done nothing to correct or prevent these problems from persisting.
Transmission shudder.
