Just got off the phone with the dealership after bringing it in for a shuddering feeling under moderate acceleration. Was told the torque converter was the culprit. My st has 49,9XX miles on it so thankfully covered by warranty. Bad news is a new one is on backorder and was told it could be 1 week- 6 months. They are giving me the car back to drive as it is not super severe but I am worried this will cause other problems with the trans and if it does would they blame the issue on driving with the faulty part and not cover additional damage. Anyone else have this problem? I'm bone stock besides wheels, catch can x pipe and valvetronic mufflers.

Bad Torque Converter

The parts coverage on these things is absolutely ridiculous. Mine is sitting at the dealer with a 2nd failed rear end, with no ETA. I got 2 days-1yr as an estimate.
The thing that pisses me off, is that they're pushing this crap out at the rate of 100's per day, but people that have already paid for these pieces of crap are sitting here waiting on parts for months, while new vehicles are being made.
When I worked at John Deere, service parts ALWAYS took priority to production.

Got a call last week that the TC came in was supposed to pick up my st today and told me the got the new one in but the shuddering problem is still there and may have gotten a bad one from the factory or there is some other problem. Wonder how long that'll take.
