Transmission is shuddering. Can try to accelerate and it lurches until it finally catches gear and goes. Definitely a concern when at a stop and pulling into traffic

I began slowing down for a traffic light and experienced what felt like a car hitting me from behind. The problem is, "no one was behind me". A few days later I began noticing a distinctive shutter between 40 -70 Mph. under my seat, " It felt like I was going over rumble strips . I began researching this issue and learned that GM issued a Service Bulletin ( 18-NA-355 ), and the problem is a "known Issue". My question for my Senator is this "why wasn't a recall sent out"? Apparently a major car makers can get away with designing, building, and marketing a product with know problems which could lead to more serious issue. Since the issue deals with the power train, transmission safety, and the safety of the drivers , "How was GM permitted to simply issue a service bulletin? I followed the instructions and the dealership did not want to complete the work, "I had to write to GM and ask them to mandate the service on my vehicle. After the service my vehicle ran ok for a while, "but now I have strange shifting, slipping, clinking, and a violent jerk at times. How can the NTSB allow a vehicle with issues on the road? Again, this is a question for my Congressman and Senator.

Torque converter shudder, hard jerky shift ..vibration around highway speed,vibration goes away when let off gas pedal... Lagg in acceleration around when car is already in motion.. Had the transmission fluid flush 3 times with my local chevrolet dealership... They said theres nothing going can do anything to fix it if theres no code indicating that something is wrong.. By the time it throw a code either the transmission or the torque converter fail.

I purchased this car new in october, 2016. My transmission problems started soon after owning it, growing worse as time went on. The car would not shift, once it did, it lurched. It would miss shifting, lag, delay and roughly drive, even though being an automatic. The dealer only serviced new software updates; all else was ignored. In early august, 2019, a service manager told me to get a second opinion. I soon discovered that gm is being sued, via class action law suits as my problems are being experienced by many others, yet they still sell new cars with this same transmission. On august 17, 2019, I traded it back in to the dealer with only 17,400 miles on it, not knowing that I would be stiffed on the trade in value. Gm did almost nothing to help me, finally admitting that they know they have a problem, but no solution. I have discovered that most trade publications and media outlets have not run this story alerting the public that gm in knowingly selling cars with bad transmissions. How do I recover my losses?

I bought the car new. It's been in shop 3 times already due to transmission issues. Always wanting to add different transmission fluids/flushing 18-na-355. Car has vibration and shudder at highway speed. Jerks as when gears change out for an automatic transmission. My car has low miles and very well taken care of inside and out. I do have more documentation if needed
