Any shutter On newer builds

I was just wondering if anyone has had the shudder issue on vehicles built Jan or later. I think from previous reading this was supposed to be when they started using a different axle isolator and or torque converter. Mine is a march build and I have no shutter... hope it stays that way.

I too was curious if this was resolved in newer builds or if it remained an unsolved problem. Wasn't it after some miles on the rig? How many miles do you have on yours?

I was just observing that Outcome Based Education has another product here.

FWIW -

A Shutter goes on your windows.

A Shudder is some bad "stuff" that happens to a small but significant portion of Hemi owners!

The two words NOT interchangeable.....

Mine was built in January and no shudder problem. I've tried and tried and tried to reproduce it under a lot of conditions. Pulling a trailer. Up inclines, flat roads, all kinds of speeds from 35 to 50mph...

I have almost 4K miles on mine and I'm hoping that I will never see the problem.

Mine has a slight shudder (like 1 second worth, I don't even think I would call it a shudder, more like slippage, kinda :) ) right at 40mph. But all of my cars has one speed that I fell a little "hiccup" at. My Fusion is 30mph, when I am slowing down past 30mph I feel the tranny do some funky stuff and then it is gone. My old Altima was 28mph, it was the same feeling as the Fusion and the new Jeep. I consider it just part of the experience and don't let it bother me. If it was a big shudder, I would be upset.

Ours is a Latitude, 3.2 V6, Tow, Active Drive I, 4X4, build 3/14. Shudder/wobble started after about first 200 miles, 12-18mph from a stop, had both front axles replaced at around 900 miles, TSB 21-018-14 with adaptive learn procedure, back in shop at 1200 miles, wobble/shudder/shimmy is back. Currently, Chrysler is re-engineering transmission mount according to my service manager, these new mounts will be shipping in about 3-4 weeks, in the meantime they are attempting three other "fixes" which he was not specific about. Nevertheless, a new car shouldn't wobble no matter how brief.

These are completely seperate issues. This thread was from back in 2011 and was talking about the shudder felt from improper downshifting/torque converter lock-up on models with the 5.7L HEMI. Its more of a fishbite or surging feeling. There is a new TSB out to address this but again it is only available for 2012-2013 HEMI's.

Mine was Built 6/14. 1k miles so far and no shudder. A couple of times the transmission seems to downshift too late or too soon while stopping but, nothing as drastic as people describe in some posts here. I'm assuming that it is just learning how I drive still. Overall very smooth transmission so far. I just have to get used to how fast it wants to move through the gears. We are all used to driving 5-6 speed trannys so we have to adapt to a new shift pattern caused by more gears. Once we get used to that they will come up with 10-12 speed transmissions that we will all complain about. :D

My KL was built in June 14, and it shuddered (wobbled ) from day 1. Now at 2000 miles, still wobbles at 1800-2200 RPM, 2nd to 3rd gear shift when the trans is over 150 degrees. Had the software checked, but I have the latest. So the next step is the replacement axles and a new trans mount. But many others say they went this route and the wobble comes back in about 300-400 miles. Some have even had the entire trans replaced, and the wobble remains. One owner said his tech put in 4 washers under each of the 3 engine/trans mounts that lowered the entire transaxle and changed the geometry of the axles. Initially this worked, but I haven't heard back if that solved the problem. Many people have been told there is a bulletin #S142100022 that has 13 steps to try to have this wobble fixed.

Others with a build date in June also have this problem, so it's still out there.
