Consumer Description

My 2019 vehicle experienced premature torque converter failure resulting in transmission shuddering, hesitation, and loss of power while driving. The transmission fluid was found to be burnt, and the vehicle requires major transmission repair. These symptoms occurred during normal driving conditions and created a safety concern due to unpredictable vehicle behavior, particularly during acceleration and merging. This issue is widely reported in 2019 vehicles equipped with GM 8-speed transmissions. GM has acknowledged the issue through technical service bulletins but has not issued a recall.
