16-NA-175: Shake and/or Shudder During Light Throttle Acceleration Between 25 and 80 MPH (40 and 128 KM/H) at a Steady State – (Oct 11, 2018)

Some customers may comment on any of the following conditions:

A shake and/or shudder during light throttle acceleration between 25 and 80 mph (40 and 128 km/h) steady state driving when transmission is not actively shifting gears. A shudder feeling that may be described as driving over rumble strips or rough pavement. Shudder feeling is evident in both Drive and M7 MY15-16 & L7 MY17, MY18 and MY19 mode.

Important: Do NOT replace the torque converter or transmission assembly for this condition. Engineer reviews have proven that replacing the torque converter does not provide a long-term solution to TCC shudder. A revised service procedure will be released in Q1 of 2019. If the vehicle experiences a repeat shudder condition, this document should be followed again. All part replacement claims will be subject to engineering analysis. Any part(s) determined not to be defective will be subject to a possible claim debit.

Claims for Chevrolet Shudder Vibration

Comments

Chevrolet Colorado owners have experienced significant problems with shudder and hesitation and here are some typical complaints,

“my truck has started randomly doing a quick vibration (fast paced vibration like driving over rumble strips on highway) that typically lasts a second or less.  Sometimes it will do it multiple times over a perioid of several seconds, other times its just a quick vibration.  Its a pretty significant vibration, I really can feel it in the steering wheel and the entire column shakes.   Seems like all interior pieces vibrate as well.”
