Default What do I do with this 2016 C7?

I bought it new and a week later I had to have the RT front rotor and brakes replaced. At around 16000 miles the Torque converter stated acting up and they took it in and replaced that. Now at 22000 miles at almost any speed the car is doing it again. It Shutters, and it also feels like someone is hitting me from behind every now and then. It also hesitates while shifting but not all the time I'm sure it's the Torque converter again. I wish I had never bought this @$%^%$ thing.

Yea I'm taking it back in to Stingray Chev so they can put another Torque Converter in it. It's just frustrating, I only have this car to drive so it is my go everywhere car. I would like to trade it in on another one but I owe a little too much on this one. Hopefully this fix is the last. Thanks for your responses.
