Have any Canadian owners joined the class action for the 8 speed transmission shudder problems? If so, how does one join the suit?
Question C7 Transmission class action suit
- Thread starter Tom Lundy
- Start date
I'm not aware of a Class Action suit brought forth in Canada on this issue, or if a Canadian can join the suits that have been filed in the US.
Here's a link to the US filing.
Class Action Lawsuit Over GM Transmission Problems In 2015–2019 Corvette, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC Vehicles
Current or former purchasers or lessees of certain 2015 – 2019 model year GM Corvette, Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC vehicles need to pay close attention

Had no shudder but was proactive.
Did not wait and see if I would experience the A8 issue and remedied a trans-fluid resolve.
I had a gr8 friend change out both my C7 A8’s with the “Mobil 1 Red Cherry Fluid” - youtube joke
. This fluid was only available via GM Dealerships.
Replaced the trans-filter and the pan gasket in the process. All bolts torqued to spec. All behind me and I drive on now. Cost me a bit … and had noticeable
a8 shifting improvement after the fact. I know of a couple of others in AB who have also done this.

Would it be possible for you to send me a copy of your invoice on a pm?
I had mine done and the dealer wouldn’t warranty it, then I got ghosted by GM when I tried through their customer service..

Sent you a PM. I had mine done while the car was still under warranty. If yours was out of warranty before you asked for the tripple flush you might be out of luck unless you have extended warranty.

Are you saying, I can get my Corvette/Chevy dealer, to flush my trans for free , if I complain about this problem? Bought mine used about 2 months ago, with only 2950 kms on it. Warranty was done by then.
If your car is still covered under the 5 year Powertrain Warranty or, as previously stated, you have an extended warranty that will cover this type of service you should be able to get the triple flush done at no charge. Extended warranties are hit and miss in this regard but the factory GM Powertrain Warranty will cover it. If no warranties are in effect, it would be a chargeable service.
The attached TSB may be of some help.
