Torque Converter Problems??

Good Afternoon Peeps,

First time poster on here and love the site.

Anyone have any experience with a problematic torque converter?

Not often but once in a while,I feel the engine/car stutter or vibrate for a second or two when shifting between 2nd to 3rd or 3rd to 4th (Can't remember which one)

In the month that I have had the car and 1k miles I put on her, I've noticed the problem maybe 3 or 4 times.

A (so called expert) states it can be the torque converter . Either an update to the ECU can fix this or it needs to be replaced.

Car still has 1 year warranty on it left so I'm not worried but what should I expect?

If its under warranty why not take it to dealer and have them diagnose?

While I was under warranty they'd diagnose my car free of charge when I had problems.
