MY CAMARO SHAKES VIOLENTLY WHEN THE CAR CRUISES AT AROUND 1,200 TO 1,400 RPM. I HAVE TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION TRIPLED FLUSHED. THE PROBLEM GOES AWAY FOR A FEW DAYS AND THEN RETURNS. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANY MORE TO RECTIFY THE PROBLEM, BUT THE VIBRATION IS GETTING WORSE. I AM CONCERNED FOR BOTH THE SAFETY AND DECREASED VALUE OF MY CASE AS A RESULT OF GM IGNORING THIS PROBLEM. THE PROBLEM HAS BEEN PRESENT SINCE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2018.
