Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Purchased vehicle brand new from dealership and from day one, i notice the power train slow to shifting from gear one to two. The vehicle hesitates and sometimes shifts hard only during cold starts. Every time i take it in for my schedule service i report the same issue to my service advisor along with the service manager at the gmc dealership. They say that it is a normal problem and they know about it. The last schedule service i told them about the same problem, this time his service tech test drove vehicle and said torque converter was shuddering causing vibration. The solution he said they changed the transmission fluid. Today i still notice the same issue and will report to the dealership next time i take in for service. I have read this is a common problem from the manufacture since putting in an 8 speed transmission. I feel this is a safety issue and some day i may feel that the transmission may lock up on me and may cause an accident.
