It's not that. It's to get the point(s) across.

Is this a friend of yours? Or a friend of a third cousin? OR-an "Internet Expert"? Because owners are saying the problems do go away with the fluid change in many instances.A recently retired GM engineer said to stay away from that 8spd unit. He said it was garbage and GM knew it and was trying to band aid it with the fluid change.
Let me see if I can find it. You can be the judge of that.Is this a friend of yours? Or a friend of a third cousin? OR-an "Internet Expert"? Because owners are saying the problems do go away with the fluid change in many instances.

Right-and in the same thread somebody else says he is not having issues. Sorry-the information you provided is about as credible as some provided here and elsewhere. I'm not going back and forth on this issue."It is well known, and even acknowledged by GM, that the problems with this transmission cannot be fixed. Therefore, as soon as possible and with as few miles on the vehicle as possible, take it back to a dealer and request the defect be repaired. Do this several times, keeping all records of when, where, action taken (even if none), any advice or comments made by dealer persons, and if possible, record everything on video with sound. Remember it's not the dealers fault you bought a vehicle with a problem that cannot be fixed by any means, but the dealer is the one that's stuck with trying to fix it. Obtain all the information you can find on this problem, and even similar problems in other models (because the same transmission is used in multiple other vehicles), obtain all applicable GM TCB's (such as TCB 18-NA-177 and TCB 18-NA-355) that have any bearing on the problem, and then after a "reasonable number" of repair attempts apply for Arbitration according to the requirements applicable in your state. In Arbitration, which is free to the vehicle purchaser, present all evidence regarding nature of the problem, past history and the manufacturers inability to correct these serious defects, evidence that the issue exists in the vehicle you purchased, and the history of repeated attempts by dealer(s) to fix the problem but that the problem still exists. When is all is said and done, you may be given a refund of the vehicle purchase price, a replacement vehicle having the same configuration and options, a decision to return to a dealer for further repair attempts, or no other action or remedy. In the case of the 8L45 / 8L90 transmission issues, arbitration in many states has already ordered refunds and replacement vehicles, as the problems with this model transmission have been around for so long and are so well documented. In any event, Good Luck."
And yours is any better? LOLRight-and in the same thread somebody else says he is not having issues. Sorry-the information you provided is about as credible as some provided here and elsewhere. I'm not going back and forth on this issue.
I've put 40,000 miles on my 2017 V6 8 speed Canyon since the switch to the Mobil 1 blue label ATF switch and the shudder has not returned. The only other problem I've had in 70,000 miles is a whacky infotainment touch screen. I am very happy with the truck.I've noticed that as well, they all have their weaknesses. That includes imports as well. Especially European cars.
The Japanese brands though don't seem to have "severe" quality issues though. Even the Tacoma, which drives like garbage, is still reliable. Compare that to the Chevy Colorado and you're dealing with a potentially problematic automatic that shudders, despite the new fluid change.

My Fiat Jeep Wrangler has been perfect over 3 years, 42k miles, and lots of hard off-roading. They've made the best Jeep yet.I think quality is dropping across the board. I am leery of anything run by Fiat, but people seem to be happy with the new Rams? I have had Ford F-150s for years and I think their quality is dropping a little too.
