^^^ It's called, "updating a thread" so people know the current status and don't just think the OP went away and left people hanging.

I actually have not seen this photo even if it was posted before. That looks horrible.
OP, I hope you are happy with whatever comes of this, and the next car you get in its place.

You come over from the Stingray forum?

Have to say I'm pleased with my '14 A6. Wonder if this will be the first time in Corvette history that the first year of the generation comes to be viewed as the MOST reliable in the series?

Sounds like torque converter failed and then repairs were not properly done by dealer techs. This set off the nightmare you have endured.

Everyone involved is baffled why they won't give us a straight up buy back.

I didn't, after several attempts to fix my 16 stingray, GM called and said they were prepared to buy my car back if that was agreeable with me. I did go through BBB, not sure if that made a difference. The BBB process indicates they will buy back or replace. They never even mentioned replace in my case. Go figure.

Stand behind your product and customers.
Especially when that product is approaching $100k.

Dealer techs change oil and do minor repairs. TC is major break down. Not for that faint of heart. They Rarely have to look at a tranny. Experience 0

Why is it such a secret knowing the company that is remanufacturing these replacement rebuilt transmissions. Someone out there has to know since everyone on the Forum is so knowledgeable about the C7.

I'm guessing whoever builds the A8 'rebuilds' the replacements. Not good PR for them or for GM to release those #s, if they look bad. If they subcontract company X to build for them, company X won't last too long if they make GM look bad.

Not sure I get your point/question.

UPDATE:
Just got off the phone with my wife. As of yesterday, GM's head attorney had our case put on his desk. (informed via email)
Our attorney called my wife and and said that GM's attorney had just called and said (paraphrase) "I have no clue why GM has done this to your client. Quite honestly I'm pissed off. We will give you everything you want. I'll contact you next week."
Nothing's been "done" yet, but holy crap, did not see that call coming....

Thanks for the update. It's a real shame it took lawyers getting involved to get this result.
