My LFX is hesitating
Yesterday I was driving in my 45th down the freeway and I noticed that when I tried to accelerated a bit, my car started to hesitate and lose power.
Has this happened to any one here?

Have you done any mods?
Are you still inside warranty coverage? |

there is a known torque converter issue that sounds similar to this (most reported lugging uphill in lower rpms when accelerating).

No mods. All stock. Hesitates with the traction control on and off.

This has been a well discussed issue, the rpm's are between 1,200-2,000 when the slug hits and the LFX engines wait to go then hit the higher rpm's and pick back up, There's a ported throttle body available for pre-order that is supposed to fix that problem

Will the dealer put this new ported throttle under warranty? I only have 10k on the 45th

Probably the torque converter. Mine went bad and it's getting replaced tomorrow. Boy am I nervous.

This sucks big time. I'm sure we all paid a lot of money for our cars. I never expected for something to go wrong at 10k. I'm kind of second guessing Gm quality vs Ford. I love my camaro, but if it is going to be falling apart I think I'm leaning on getting a mustang.

Can someone elaborate on the torque converter? I experience the same thing and I assumed that was the infamous dead spot!

Mine would start jolting and shaking if I slowly wanted to accelerate from highway cruising speed. It literally shakes the car like you are going over rumble strips sounds almost the same too. It was rare at first then I went for a weekend cruise and I couldn't count the number of times it happened. It started to drive me crazy.
