Default Flutter at variable speeds

2017 Stingray I have a flutter while driving. The dealership states they can not duplicate the problem , I have only had the car for two weeks and have not enjoyed the experience any ideas on what could be costing this problem because it seems as if i will be fixing this out of pocket

You have a manual or an auto? If auto - Flutter, maybe you mean shutter? If so, welcome to the GM A8. Literally hundreds of threads about it here. Best one is: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...-tracking.html which is a sticky at the top of this forum. The common fix is to have the Stealer do a A8 triple flush procedure. It works for many. For others, the converters are too far gone.

Our ‘14 did something similar when the engine was going in and out of v8 w/afm. The belt tensioner was the problem, replaced it and the flutter went away. Then we installed a range device to prevent it from going in and out of v8 mode.

If auto, try putting it in manual mode and see if the issue persists.

If its a major repair, consider finding a local reputable speed shop that specializes in our cars rather than paying dealership costs.
