Was the car at Marco Island during the hurricane? Sounds like you had trans issues before that, but just curious if there is any connection to these issues and the storm.

They replaced the transmission in record time - 2-1/2 weeks.
They are getting a lot of experience in this process.
FYI - Codes found: p0700, p2714, p2715, p2854 and p073e.

This will be the first new car I am buying that I worry about not only it’s reliability, but the ability of the dealer to fix it properly. I am hoping that GM fixes these issues in the next week or so, my TPW is next week.

Having said that, I’m currently waiting for my my Lincoln Aviator to be built (scheduled for next week) and I’m getting anxious about all the issues I’m reading about online…and multiple recalls in the last month. I’m trying to give myself my own advice, but I do understand where you are coming from. Ironically, I am getting out of a Volvo XC90 that was supposed to be “reliable”, and I have never had so many MAJOR problems with one vehicle. Major issues and disappointing service. Never again.

Reading about some of the worst C8 service experiences, which always wind up on the various forums, can make one think they’re riding on a time bomb which can explode without warning at any time. That's just not the case. As with any modern car, glitches can pop up and a trip to the dealer may be needed. Major problems are not common. The overwhelming odds are that your new C8 will be just fine, and provide many years of trouble free service.
