Haha...I tried to explain this shutter to my dealer and they put air in the tires and claimed it was fixed.

brake rotor issues,tranny issuise,easily bent alum. rims, intermitten steering shaft problems . Thats just some of the things I have had repaired after seeing TSB. Has anyone ever had to hit the brakes at high speed pretty scarey I am looking into sloted rotor . I have had the shimmy from all of the above but the only shimmy I get now is that high speed shimmy when the need to brake from high speed arises but hopefully the new rotors will fix this

Sint3k, how have your R1's been so far? So far my drilled/slotted Delco's have been excellent, but I only have a 1000 miles on them, so we'll see if they warp sometime down the road.

The AC Delco Drilled/Slotted are FAR better then the stock OEM non drilled/slotted. They come from a different mfg and are of better quality.

Joe,
Let me know what the GM rep says to you as I have talk to the guys down here and they do have a fix for your car.

Well guys, I just drove an 08 Impala SS and an 08 Buick Lacrosse. They both shook on the highway just like mine. The buick felt worse, and the sales guy tried to tell me it was from the car sitting on the lot for a while. Well after 20 miles it didn't get any better, I was surprised. I wonder what the heck GM is doing wrong with these cars that they shake like this?

So what does that mean? Are you not going to fill us in on the fix? If not why bother posting, or boasting about a fix!!!
