2018 colorado transmission shutter

Transmission shutter at 56k. Had Transmission fluid flushed. GM refused to pay stating it's maintenance., yet the owners manual stats flush at 72k. They are aware of the problem but refuse to stand behind it. Cost me $ 694 for the flush. Oh ya, the fluid that was installed from the factory is the reason it had to be flushed.

It's replaced with a different fluid that is supposed to fix the shutter. No more General Motors products for me. They are junk.

Very nice truck. One problem is the key will not go to the off position when in park. This doesn't happen every day but way too often. Extremely inconvenient and apparently doesn't seem to be a solution. This has been happening to other chevrolet trucks since 2015. It should be solved and be put on a recall list.
