Default Replacement DCT

I've read about the C8 transmission issues that some owners have experienced, but I'm not sure if that has been discussed. If you did have to have your transmission replaced under warranty, is anything done differently in order to ensure that the same failure does not occur? Does GM extend your warranty if they replace a transmission? Do they provide you a courtesy vehicle if the repair takes a long period of time?

A small percentage of DCT's have required replacement. Problems like this are magnified on an owner forum since members seldom post about positive experiences. While it has happened, the odds of having multiple DCT replacements are small. GM does not extend your warranty and since this is a Chevy you should not expect a loaner during the repair process.
