How would this be different than any poll ever taken, by anyone, anywhere, ever?
Just sayin bro, some praise consumer report polls when favorable, but dis a forum poll when not favorable. I don't get it, but who knows.

I voted no failure on my 2015 with 6700 miles but it upshifts hard when it's cold so I usually use the paddles to shift up and it generally downshifts ok as I slow down. Don't know how many others do the same. A few times as it has been downshifting if I'm doing a rolling stop and I accelerate there is a sudden hard shift and when it does that I usually back off. So something is going on, for sure.

That is a tough one to tell, and maybe lower. Who knows.

Please explain? It's a smaller segment of total ownership, sure, but how is it skewed or how will it skew the results?

Heck, the fact that the wave is apparently fading is proof positive.
Not a bro, BTW.

With 172 voters so far, it looks like we have a 91.86% forum rate of no failure.

all due respect, your claim is baseless. There are as many or more GM homers on here for every claimed "hater" that may vote negatively.
Hell, even that dbag black and white, although a dbag, did have transmission problems and would deserve to vote (ONCE) accordingly.
I agree on the enthusiasts part, but not on the "I joined and post only because I have problems with my C7" point.
I would bet my house the by a mile majority of members on this forum joined because they are enthusiasts, not because they had problems.

Steven, can you change someones vote? Someone voted for the 2017 TC failure, and after looking at his recent posts, he has stated that he has a 2016 C7 that had issues. Not a huge deal and 1 will not skew anything as this is far from scientific, just fun data to look at.

You can apparently vote more than once. I noticed one member in good standing reported a TC failure on a 2015, and no failure on a 2017.
Some of the voters apparently have apparently owned more than one C7.

Interesting, w/ 174 votes, there are 91.95% reporting no failure and 15.51% reporting some sort of failure for a grand total of 107.46%
The reason is you can apparently vote more than once. I noticed one member in good standing reported a TC failure on a 2015, and no failure on a 2017.

Makes no sense to me.
The person I spoke of had the same screen name in the 2015 failure category and the 2017 no failure category. There is something screwy about how the polling feature here calculates percentages.

If you start a poll it's up to you whether a person can vote for multiple choices or only one. This poll was set up to allow more than one vote per person, which is why it adds up to more than 100%.
