| During acceleration, the engine hesitates and begins to choke. when it attempts to shift into the next gear it feels like the car will shut off. i was almost in several accidents on the highway due to this issue. took car to chevy dealership at 845am the next morning and the mechanics could not get any type of answer to me until 2pm. i was told they were on the phone and laptops with tech's somewhere else in the u.s. the guessed decision, was some sort of can/am or cam sensor. they did not know why there were five error codes from this issue. i was told that the mechanics were instructed to start fixing this issue, by replacing the sensor and then run another diagnostics on the vehicle. i have to wait three days for the part to come in and was told this may eventually not be the correct fix to this issue. iknow have to wait. luckily my power train warranty covers this part and labor but i have to pay a one hundred dollar deductible towards the cost per the contract. *tr | |||

| In may, started to feel a vibration/shimmy of some sort when accelerating in all sorts of speeds. took vehicle to dealership and they could not duplicate. vibration/shimmy continued and gradually become more frequent so took vehicle back to dealership in june in which the tech test drove and was able to duplicate the issue. was told he was not the transmission expert so they had the so called transmission expert test drive and he was unable to duplicate the problem. took my car back to the dealership the very next day and it was determined to be the torque converter. the transmission had to be flushed due to metal shavings in the transmission. i have had continuous problems with the transmission since the torque converter was replaced. the transmission is hesitating when attempting to increase speed, it slams into gear, downshifts when its not suppose to and the vibration is slowly starting to come back. dealership is claiming this is normal for the type of transmission i have and its operating as designed. *tr | |||

| While the vehicle is being driven, and during gradual acceleration, the vehicle hesitates and begins to shudder when it attempts to shift into the next gear. this shudder occurs at multiple speeds, usually around 31mph, 42mph and 53mph. the shuddering only seems to occur during gradual increases in speed, and is not noticed when accelerating at a more rapid pace, such as when entering onto a highway on-ramp. the shuddering fluctuates between mild to severe and is also noticed somewhat when the vehicle is downshifting to a lower gear as well. if the operator temporarily ceases in the acceleration, and then re-engages the acceleration, the vehicle seems to respond. this problem appears to be getting more frequent over the past two weeks, and the problem seemed to increase during a recent longer 3 hours trip. i have noticed numerous other similar complaints while researching this matter via the internet, and the problems seem to be frequently occurring at/after 6000 miles. i am concerned that this problem could result in an accident if i am attempting to merge with on-coming traffic and the vehicle fails to respond to acceleration and/or stalls out. *tr | |||

| At rpm's approximately 1200-2000 car stutters, like it needs to downshift. happens at various speeds when applying gradual acceleration. dealer service says no error codes found, that this is normal on the 6 speed transmission & that because of all of the computer components, the transmission naturally lags. seems to be problem in the torque converter? *tr | |||
