Regenerative electric motor braking in (low 1) has bad vibration at around 50 miles per hour. It doesn’t stop at any speed until returned to Drive mode.

Given the complicated nature of the hybrid mechanism, I’d suggest you need to take it into the Chevy dealer. I doubt many independent shops would touch it.
