A disgrace ... similar to what I have been told ... sad to say but the word is getting around as it should... not going to help resale ..kind of takes the fun away ... purchased this toy against my better judgement..but after decades I thought I would give GM another shot...plus the C7 was in third year of production .... oh well ... it sure is a nice looking car ..with plenty of power ..but ...

I know what its like to get a sh*tty new car truck, I also know what my time is worth, sometimes its best just to eliminate the worry and drive something else.

My goodness!! I didn't realize I was stirring up a "hornet's nest!"
I just wanted folks to know that it's possible to get a replacement transmission. I love my car! I hope all you C7 A8 drivers love your's too!
Of course I might be a little biased... I am president of the Glass Class Corvette Club of Marietta, GA.
By the way, only 2 of us (out of 230 members) with A8's have had my problem. Not a terrible record. How many thousand A8's were produced!?
Have fun in life... Never take it too seriously... and when you can, put the top down!!

Hello all!
I just wanted to let youall know that it's possible to get a new replacement A8 if you are having problems.
My transmission was diagnosed with double engagement ( I had that hard shifting problem in the morning that some of you have also had). The dealer has ordered a new transmission for me, and I should receive it sometime this week or early next week. I've had this problem for a long time, and a different dealer tried a software upgrade and a new torque converter and neither of these fixed the problem . So now with a new transmission I should be able to start enjoying my Z 51 again!
I took delivery of my car in October 2014. So it was a early production transmission. I'm hoping that this is a 2016 transmission and that it will be better.

I as well as jmoses52 would sell it back to GM in a heartbeat for what I paid NOW
I have a DSOM 2016 and got it ordered when I heard they may not make it anymore, as I missed out on the green 2015.
now I want my 2013GS back
well GM customer service can you help,
and I do not mean the 8 visits before the TC or tranny is possibly fixed, give me my money back.
Had the problems been known to exist from a recall I would rather walk than drive my broken vette,
instead of the corvette summer it will be the summer of walking home 2 hours from the dealership every weeks
WOW that is something the brochures covered it must be a extra

it is not a question of complaining so you must sell and leave as others have suggested,
