Owner complaint summary

Severe transmission shuttering destroyed my transmission and I need a new one according to a local body shop and a GMC service center. This is a KNOWN issue with these 10 speed transmissions, but they will not recall the ones from this year, they only recalled newer models. Car has been inspected by a local autobody shop, a 3rd party warranty company, and a GMC dealership service center. Shuddering causes severe shaking while driving between 25-65mph. No lights or other symptoms, just started occurring randomly. Purchased car Feb 2025, brought it in to local auto shop November 2025 and they could not get a transmission for months. They stated one was set to be delivered by GMC Feb 6th 2026 and they day before arrival GMC called them saying it was back on back order. Called the dealership in April 2026 and they stated they were not backordered. Had vehicle transferred to dealership service center and they say it’s still on national back order with no ETA. I have been waiting for over 6 MONTHS for a new transmission. This car has been undrivable for almost longer than I have been actually able to drive it.
