Yikes! Did you run over an IED?
I don't understand why shops don't lay the parts on blankets instead of just leaving them on bare concrete floors.

Guess I have great luck. When I had my windshield replaced two weeks ago at my dealership they cover the entire interior to protect it then laid the parts they removed on blankets.
So one would think if a dealer did that just for a windshield they could easily lay a few blankets out and not stack metal parts on expensive wheels.

You're right...It's just to charge you more money for sub par ****. My bad.
It doesn't have to be 50 state emissions legal. Able to be stamped out at a reasonable price to pay absurd union rates. Dead nuts reliable in climates from Alaska to ******* Florida.
Nope...
just a scam to fleece you.
lol

that's kinda my point though. If everyone had the revised converter, the entire conversation would be different. I'm happy as I could possibly be now. Everyone should have this experience. Transmission is awesome.

Certainly makes the case why all A8 owners need to purchase an extended warranty.

well the reason they replaced the stator is because the stator is the part inside the convertor that was bad to begin with. Some lack of an extra check ball allowed the overnight drain of fluid. So replacing the stator and whatever seals involved was "supposed" to do the trick.
Obviously they were wrong. For those who had their convertor or stator replaced and say its fixed, I urge them to drive the car...put some mileage on it. The issue will return, and in my case, a few more symptoms added in for good measure.
P.S. I do not hold my dealer service department responsible, they did a flawless job. But they can only do what GM tells them to do. In this case GM does not have a real fix.
I still wonder if they replaced the entire trans with the new model they put in 2016s, would that solve the problem? Those of you with newer build dated 2016s may not have enough mileage on it to tell for sure. I'll have to see what my lemon law attorney can work out with them. All I know is I am not happy and $65k poorer. So disgusted you have no idea.
