2016 Chevrolet Camaro Power Train

The torque converter on my vehicle is faulty. It has a violent shake, slippage of gears, and sometimes even loss of power while driving. Sometimes the violent vibrations cause me to have to slow down abruptly amongst traffic. Several mechanic have identified the torque converter as the problem.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated while driving 25 MPH and 50 MPH, the front end started shaking abnormally with the vehicle shuddering. The contact released the accelerator pedal and the failure ceased. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer however, the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The contact learned of the Customer Satisfaction Program under NHTSA Campaign Number: 10089393 (Power Train); however, the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not included in the Customer Satisfaction Program. The manufacturer referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to file a safety complaint. The failure mileage was 5,000.

VEHICLE SHUDDERS, A PROBLEM THAT WAS BROUGHT TO GM ATTENTION IN 2016. IN 2016 YOU RECALLED CERTAIN VEHICLES KNOWING THIS PROBLEM WOULD HAPPEN TO OTHER CAMAROS DOWN THE LINE. IM WRITING THAT MY CAMARO BE ADDED. I HAVE ONLY 25,000 MILES.

The contact owns a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro. The contact stated while driving approximately 60-65 MPH and depressing the accelerator pedal, the vehicle failed to respond and decelerated. The check engine warning light was illuminated, and the transmission was slipping. The contact veered to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the residence. The vehicle was then towed to the used car dealer, where the transmission was replaced; however, the failure recurred. The vehicle was towed to the used car dealer, where the transmission was repaired; however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was towed back to the used car dealer, where it was diagnosed and determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The Chevrolet dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 59,000.

On Friday August 12th 2022 at 9:30pm check engine light came on after car was sitting turned off for a few hours while my fiance was buffing/polishing/waxing the car. Checked the chevy app, it didn't list any problems. Took it to auto zone. They ran diagnostics. Came back codes P0711 and P0700. Made appointment at AAMCO Monday August 15th. Car was not smoothly down shifting and when put in drive or reverse would jump slightly. AAMCO basically said the transmission was bad. Which I can't understand how that could happen, it's a 2016 only has a little over 70,000 miles on it and is extremely well taken care of. I'm being told we have 2 options either the whole transmission needs to be taken out and rebuilt to find the problem, an estimated $3000-$6000. Or 2 the TCM can be replaced/reprogrammed for over $2500 which is not a guaranteed fix. They also told us a few other chevys with low miles also needed a transmission rebuild! So what is going on Chevrolet!? And we're still making payments on this car and it's already having expensive problems!

I noticed an occasional shudder at highway speeds. Traveling between Spokane to Coeurd'lene, a 30 or so mile distance, two episodes each way. The shudders are noticeable and there were very slight shudders before which I thought were hesitations before the last time I drove the car. I have had a difficult time to get it in the dealer as soon as I mention shudder. I was able to schedule a transmission flush without mentioning shudder.

CAR JERKING WHEN SHIFTING AT ANY GEAR, SEEMS LIKE TRANSMISSION GOING OUT. WHEN SPEEDING IT FEELS LIKE SHAKING.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO AND AS YOU ACCELERATE THERE IS A SHUDDERING SENSATION THAT YOU CAN FEEL. YOU LITERALLY FEEL LIKE YOU'RE BEING SHAKEN. I HAD TO DO A GOOGLE SEARCH TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG WITH THE CAR.

SIX SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION CLUNKS AND GRINDS 2ND 3RD 4TH GEARS COLD AND OCCASIONALLY 2ND WHEN HOT. HAS DONE THIS SINCE PURCHASED BRAND NEW AND NOW HAS 44,000 MILES.

JERKING AND GROWLING AND HESITATING TO SHIFT GOING FROM 1-3 GEAR

TRANSMISSION VIBRATES AT CRUISING SPEEDS. LIKE THE GEAR GOES UP AND DOWN.

PURCHASED CAR WITH 20908 MILES ON 12/18/19. NOTICED ENGINE RPMS FLUCTUATING ABOUT 200 RPMS WHEN AT STEADY CRUISING SPEED 2ND DAY OF OWNING CAR. 3RD DAY NOTICED BAD SHUDDER WHEN IN V4 MODE ALONG WITH RPM FLUCTUATION.

TCC SHUDDER , VEHICLE SHUDDERS UNDER LIGHT ACCELERATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS03

TRANSMISSION STALLS OUT DURING ACCELERATION AND AND ALSO LOUNGES FORWARD WITH OUT ANY ACCELERATION VERY SCARED OF DRIVING MY CAR IN DAILY BASIS AND HAVE REPORTED THIS PROBLEM TO GM

AUTOMATIC 8 SPEED TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS ON LIGHT ACCELERATION BETWEEN 1300-1700RPM. THIS ISSUE CAN BE REPLICATED AND IS ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN CRUISING UP A SLIGHT INCLINE AT AROUND 1500RPM. CHEVROLET ATTEMPTED A TRANSMISSION FLUID FLUSH FOR ME, AND EVEN A TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACEMENT FOR SOME OTHER PEOPLE, BUT THE ISSUE RETURNS.

VIBRATION AT SPEEDS OF 45 - 50 MPH. VIBRATION ONLY OCCURS WHEN VEHICLE IS AT OPERATING TEMPERATURE. IF THE VEHICLE IS COLD, THE VIBRATION IS NOT PRESENT.

VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. VEHICLE TRANSMISSION WILL SHUTTER WHEN RPMS ARE AT 1500 IN ANY GEAR. AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS DISTINCTIVE SHUTTER IN TRANSMISSION AT AROUND 1500 RPM. HAPPENS AT THE VERY BEGINNING OF ACCELERATION PROCESS.

WHEN DRIVING SLOW, I CAN FEEL THE CAR HESITATE TO SWITCH GEARS THEN ALL SUDDEN IT JUMPS OR NUDGES INTO SECOND GEAR. IT'S LIKE THE RPMS REVS UP THEN THROWS ITSELF INTO SECOND GEAR. ALSO WHEN IN SPORT MODE, THE VEHICLES GEAR/TRANSMISSION BECOMES MORE APPARENT OF VIBRATION OR STRUGGLES WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND CHANGING GEARS. WHEN ALSO PUTTING CAR IN REVERSE U CAN FEEL THE CAR JUMP INTO GEAR BEFORE SWITCHING THE GEARS. IT'S AN ABRUPT TRANSITION.

I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH HARD SHIFTING WHEN IT HAS BEEN IDLE OR PARKED FOR A WHILE. HESITATION WHEN IN LOWER SPEEDS, JERKING WITH ACCELERATION. JUMPING AND HARD JERKING WHEN I FIRST START IN THE MORNING I HAVE ALMOST HIT MY GARAGE DOOR SEVERAL TIMES FROM THE JERKING AND HARD ROCKING. IT STARTED AROUND 13000 MILES I AM AT 16000 AND ITS PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE

WHEN DRIVING, THE VEHICLE WILL VIBRATE/SHUDDER PERIODICALLY. WHEN PULLING INTO TRAFFIC, SOMETIMES IT DOES NOT SHIFT PROPERLY AND PRESENTS A DANGER. THE DEALER FLUSHED THE TRANSMISSION FLUID RECENTLY, BUT IT IS STARTING TO HAPPEN AGAIN.

MY TRANSMISSION JERKS AND RUMBLES, AS IF I AM DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STROPS. IT JERKS WHEN I PUT IT INTO GEAR. IT JERKS AND RUMBLES WHEN I ACCELERATE AND DECELERATE. WHEN I GO FROM PARK TO DRIVE IT JERKS FORWARD AND ACTUALLY MOVE FORWARD A FEW FEET WITHOUT STEPPING ON THE GAS. AND THE SAME WHEN I AM STOPPED WAITING FOR A LIGHT, IT FEELS LIKE I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND. ITS A VERY ROUGH AND HARD JERK FORWARD. THE TRANSMISSION JERKS CHANGING GEARS IN DRIVE AND WHILE DRIVING, EVEN IN REVERSE. ITS A HORRIBLE SCARY RUMBLE JERKING. YOU NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL JUST TAKE OFF BY ITSELF. THE INCIDENTS HAPPEN ON ALL DRIVING CONDITIONS, CITY STREETS, HIGHWAY, TURNING, SLOWING DOWN, COASTING. ESPECIALLY TURNING IT JERKS IN THE MIDDLE OF A TURN. I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS FOR OVER A YEAR. I BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE MY CONCERNS, BUT IT DID IT WHEN I DROVE OFF AND BROUGHT IT TO THEIR ATTENTION AT THAT TIME. THIS IS A CONTINUOUS EVENT FOR THE PAST TWO OR SO YEARS.

ISSUE 1 - 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISION IS SHIFTING HARD BETWEEN GEARS AND ALSO HAS A SHUTTER AT LOW ENGINE RPM BETWEEN 1200 TO 1500 RPM. THE SHUTTER WILL OCCUR IN MOST GEARS. ESPECIALLY NOTICEABLE WHEN USING CRUISE CONTROL. IT HAPPENS IN ALL ROADS IN ALL CONDITIONS AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS + GEAR.. ISSUE 2 - "SCRUBBING OR GRINDING NOISE" IN THE REAR END WHEN I FIRST GET IN THE CAR AFTER IT HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE. THE NOISE IS VERY NOTICEABLE WHEN I MAKE TURNS AT LOW SPEED. THEN AFTER THE VEHICLE IS DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES IT GOES AWAY. IT HAS BEEN MORE NOTICEABLE WITH LOW TEMPERATURES. THE VEHICLE HAS APPROXIMATELY 13K MILES.

THE 8 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION HAS A SHUTTER AT LOW ENGINE RPM BETWEEN 1200 TO 1500 RPM. THE SHUTTER WILL OCCUR IN 2ND, 3RD, 4TH, 5TH, AND 6TH GEAR WHEN ENGINE RPM IS 1200 TO 1500. THE VEHICLE HAS 10,000 MILES ON IT. THIS HAPPENS ON OPEN ROADS IN ALL CONDITIONS AND AT VARIOUS SPEEDS + GEAR.

WHEN YOU GOING DOWN THE ROAD TRANSMISSION 7/8 GEAR SHUTTERS LIKE IT'S SLIPPING

I BOUGHT MY CAR IN SEPT. 2016 AFTER THE FIRST COUPLE OF MONTHS AT RANDOM TIMES THE TRANSMISSION MAKES A BOOM SOUND WHEN SLOWING DOWN FROM SPEEDS OVER 55 MPH OR DURING ACCELERATION FROM STOP AND GO RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC IT'S AS IF THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO CATCH UP WITH THE ACCELERATOR. I GET MONTHLY DIAGNOSTICS AND NOTHING SHOWS UP AS AN ISSUE.
