Transmission has been clunky and jerky from from purchase. The vehicle vibrates between 30 - 35 miles per hour when shifting. The vehicle lurches forward when accelerating as if it has difficulty down-shifting. The problem is present from simply backing up out of the driveway, modest speeds on city streets, or on the highway. When brought back to the dealer, they claimed it was a software issue and "refreshed" the software. The problem has not gone away and did not improve by this software correction. My internet research indicates that this is a common problem with the new 8-speed transmission for the 2015 Yukon denali and Cadillac escalade.
