Default ZR1 Failed

Waited 2 years for my ZR1. It finally was delivered to me on May 21st. I had it for 3 days (less than 200 miles) and the transmission threw codes and went into limp mode. Dropped it at the dealer and gave been waiting ever since. Supposed to be "waiting on parts", but no firm date on when. Have to say this is very disappointing. It appears to be a common issue yet GM doesn't maintain a parts inventory. Chevrolet wants to compete in the "exotic" & “supercar" market then they need to do better.

What is wrong with the car? What parts are they waiting on?

Atleast you did not blow up the motor like I did at 1900 miles on my new '26 ZR1. Been waiting for over a month and still not sure when I might get the car back! My car had a hole in the block on the new ZR1.

They tell me it's a failed clutch pack.
