Corvette shutters
I have a 2016 Corvette that shutters . The service bulliten says to replace the transmission fluid. I have a full warranty. They want me to pay $800 because the say fluids are not covered.
If the fluid is the cause , it should be covered. Does anyone else have the same issue?

Time for a new dealer. Post your location, or even better, post up in your respective regional forum, and you're likely to find dealer recommendations from the forum as well.

I took TSB to my dealer and they did the fluid change with no questions asked and gave me a loaner. I wasn't having any issues but tsb said if customer complains change the fluid no testing or driving the car and this is what I pointed out when I took my car in and they said OK. Shifts a lot smoother and as everyone that has on says, GET A RANGE DEVICE AND B DONE WITH IT.

That's what you should do japur. Depaula is just trying to screw you over. They'll charge you, and then turn it into GM as warranty work for a second payment I'm sure. If I were you, when you get this taken care of I would put this out on Google reviews, and www.dealerrater.com. Let all know what this dealer is about. Good luck.

Some members have posted no problem, no questions asked when getting the new Fluid installed even when not under warranty.
Some,.. when not under warranty mention it was $600.00 for labor, and again, it all depended on which Dealer they went to
Bottom line, when still under warranty, it's free/suppose to be free, but as with said Dealer mentioned, they're trying to make more money.

Gonna see how my local dealer treats this when I approach them this week. I drive with my Range connected at all times since I purchased, but I move it from the Vette to the Avalanche and I've forgotten it once or twice.
