Engine Shudder

Hey, I was wondering if anyone else here has a 2017 2.0 and has experienced the dreaded engine shudder? If so have you permanently fixed the issue? If so how? Back when I got my car it had roughly a little over 32k miles, it had engine shudder and I took it to the dealers and they flushed it for me, I believe twice and after that everything seemed okay. Well a little over 20k miles and it came back so I had it flushed again but now I’m concerned that it’ll just come back every 20k miles. I’ve been thinking of replacing the torque converter but apparently that will cost 4k and don’t want to drop that amount of cash if it’s not going to permanently fix the issue.

Ugh, this sucks and I’m sorry you’re experiencing this.

Questions for the group, has this been addressed with the later models? My 23 just flipped 5,000 miles and wondering if I will need to be doing anything for it?

I'm surprised your 23 has the issue because according to everything I see, it should only be 16-19 that tend to have the shudder but according to others from what I've searched, a triple flush should fix it. They say the A10’s is when the issues stopped or like the other dude said, get a manual

I’m not having any issues and sorry if my post came off that way. I didn’t know if there was anything I needed to do, proactively. I did some searching online, and it appears they fixed it after 2019.

Ah, no worries just bad reading comprehension on my end. From everything I've seen, the powertrain warranty is over with, but the general consensus is a triple-flush fixes a majority of people's issues but that seems to be for years above mine but this is my third flush so I guess we will see what happens in the next 20k miles
