Default C8 transmission problems

Has anyone else have problems with their C8? I have 1300 miles and have a check engine light saying something is wrong in the transmission.

Do a search on C8 transmission problems -- there are many posts concerning the issues, fixes, and replacements. You need to take it to the dealer and have them look at it.

Welcome to the Forum!
Bummer you are already having possible trans issues.
I agree with Vette DD that the C8 section is the best place for your question. This is more a “hello” section. Following the link Vette DD provided will get you in front of C8 members. When you raise the question there, I would encourage you to provide a little more info to help them provide insight, (what code is showing; other than the CEL, are there any symptoms like jerky starts; shifting harder/softer than normal; etc? ).
Hoping this is a simple fix!
