savewave ; I am a new member and not sure how to get the following information to the right folks. I bought my 2022 C-8 about Dec. 29th 2021. The VIN# is: 1G1YB2D44N5109165. I drove the car according to break-in requirements. On Feb.15, with less than 2000 miles on the car, the transmission sounded bad and the engine light came on and my Chevy App. said, "transmission problem take it to a dealer immediately". I took it in to Van Chevrolet in Scottsdale. I got the car back 6 weeks later on March 29th. They said they replaced the Transmission Valve Body. On May 1st I shipped the C-8 from Scottsdale to my home in Denver. I was fearful something might go wrong if I drove it over the mountains. On May 8th, the Engine Light came on again and the transmission was slow to engage from a dead stop. The C-8 has been at Ed Bozarts Chevrolet since May 8th. The Service Terch. says after being in the shop for almost two months, it needs a complete new transmission and he has no idea where to look or how to get one shipped to the dealership. And that is the reason for this post. I have owned my C-8 almost seven months and have driven altogether less than six weeks. The reason for this post is to ask if anyone knows whom I can contact to locate a transmission and get it shipped to Bozarts here in Denver. Thank You very much.

Sounds like you need to locate a dealer who knows what they are doing. Transmissions might have some lead time now - I don't know the current situation - but it is definitely a warranty issue and your dealer should have run it through GM tech support to diagnose it as a faulty transmission get approval to order another one. If they haven't done that then something is fishy. If there is just a long wait for a warranty replacement transmission no one else will be to get one any faster.

 

I would try a different dealer and/or contact GM customer service. I think the number is in the Owner's Manual. The dealer may not know how long it will be to get one, but they should know how to order one.

 

Thanks, you confirmed pretty much what I suspected... I may put a call into GM Customer Service just to see what they say.

 

I'kk give GM Customer Service a call... Thanks.
