Denali

My truck has 30,000 miles and has the 'Chevy shudder'. why is this not a recall? GMC wants me to pay out of pocket for the transmission flush. When I am driving the truck it begins shuddering and shaking through certain shift points.

The vehicle will often shift unpredictably. Moving from a dead-stop, the vehicle will sometimes demonstrate significant hesitation (to shift) followed by a loud and violent engagement. In some instances the vehicle feels like it has been hit by another vehicle. The automobile will shudder and slip and jerk when it shifts between gears. The vehicle is unsafe to operate. The dealer can not fix the issue, but understands the vehicle problems.
