2012 v6 hum/vibration - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

I had my 2012 V6 in early last year for what i thought was the TSB torque converter issue in early 2014 i think. The tranny guy, who wasn't a GM tech but a local tranny shop fella the dealer contracts through, looked it over, drove it, and said its normal.

Now after another 2,700 miles the low pitched sound (?) is getting louder from 43 to 46 mph. Very noticeable and irritating on the ear, but at 47 its gone, also if you get off the gas. Almost like i'm lugging it in OD but a 25 mph. BTW, no misses or grinding, runs fine and accelerates past it no problem. At 4.5 years and 11,780 miles its going back in this week (i hope).

Anyone else experience this?
Any ideas?

They identified it as a torque converter issue and at 11,841 miles they said it was now obviously defective.

Now the wait for the new one to arrive.

I have this issue is well. Are they going to replace it even if out of warranty?
=/ I'm at 57k on mine.
