1 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem

Failure Date: 07/12/2025

Torque converter not working right and is damaging the transmission. Causes shuddering while accelerating and jumping motion. It jumps so hard at times that it seems like its not giving any power to go and almost like it is going to stall and cause a wreck. Happens when accelerating from being stopped or slowed down. They had me replace the dual pressure egr something that cost me $690 that did nothing and made it worse it seemed like.
