I have a 2000 Monterey Sport XLS , 3.0 that has had the same problem mentioned in a Dec 15, 2003 - 103700- Power Train:Automatic Transmission:Torque converter shudder, surge, and or vibration (possibly intermittent) when driving 35-50 MPH at steady throttle. *TT. Now this says 3.5 engine yet mine is 3.0 and had had this problem for a very long time even causing damage to my vehicle due to the surge. I have only received 1 notice to get something fixed but never received anything regarding this. Why it's not just the 3.5. Another lady reported the same problem as I reported & they said it was being investigated. Well how long does this take if the 3.5 has this problem then it should be no surprise the 3.0 has the same.
