Default Valve Body Replacement

I had the Idle Creep Message, pop up on the dash (No issues with driving no skipping gears) but i said let me take it into the dealership to clear the code.... that was on JUNE 29th, Quick diagnostic, dealer says you need a new Valve body.
I have been waiting almost 4 weeks for one to come in and its STILL NOT HERE. THIS IS BEYOND FRUSTRATING. Chevy Customer Care, is trying to look out and is stating once the resolution is done they will compensate me (Giving me a extended Warranty).. She didnt go into detail until the issue has been resolved, but she has been consistent with calling and keeping me updated. Having the car two months and one of them has been in the shop.

Now im concerned the Trans maybe next (Svc guy did tell me; a Transmission would of been faster to get SMDH)

This part is very hard to get and the dealer showed me the screen where lots of people were waiting on this part.

My faith is very low right now

Keep your chin up and hope the part fixes the issue for good. My buddy in WI just shared the same type of issue…

So, the software was the cause of the initial problem or in addition to the valve body problem?
