Default Another C8 with a Leakey DCT!

Car is out of commission with a transmission fluid leak! 1,750 EASY miles on it too! Apparently, the result of a "porous" transmission casing , per the dealer, where the fluid actually penetrates the casing when warm and under pressure? Isn't that just SPECIAL! Oh, and guess what, GM has authorized the replacement of the transmission, BUT, there are NONE AVAILABLE! Not too frustrating! To enact the Lemon Law here in CA is an option, but then what do you do? You have no C8! And getting another car like the one I ordered might never happen! From what I've read, these sorts of transmission issues are not that uncommon. GM, I hope you're getting your act together , I want my new car back!!

Sorry. I'd be plenty upset.
Just add the extra fluid and drive it until they get a replacement. The car will warn you when it gets too low.
