Default Automatic transmission grinding

2017 GS. CE #416 Front bearing in driveline support noise grinding, bearing spinning and coming out of support. replaced torque tube and drive line assembly. After that louder noise came about. They found drive shaft loose inside of drive line support. Replaced bolt for shaft clamp. Applied locktite to threads and reset drive shaft position to correct. It still makes noise not as loud. Mechanic said GM working on a better fix.Well with 735 made in the USA that could average to 15 per state haha can't they just ha I quit. Anyone else have this problem?

Wow That sucks. Maybe after a few more miles it will work in and become quiet
