Transmission died after only 1400 miles, vehicle is brand new and I’m concerned about the transmission dying after only a few miles on a $110k car, already took it to a Chevy dealer and confirmed it was the transmission and needed to be changed, warranty will cover it this time

On Wednesday March 16, I was driving my 2022 C8 Corvette with only 450 miles on it. I stopped a red light and the car stalled out. I didn't think anything of it and push to start it up again and it started as i continued to drive I approached another red light and as I stopped at it the car shut off and again and wouldn't start back up, as I pushed the start button I smelled smoke and I stop trying to start the car. Oil pressure gauge was reading 0 pressure and flashing red. A notification came across the dash board indicating engine failure and also was notified by my app on my cell phone that the engine failed. Tow truck driver couldn't put the car in neutral due to the vehicle not starting, having to drag onto the flatbed for towing back to dealer

Shifting luggage during a left turn caused the remote front trunk saftey switch inside the trunk to be depressed and open the front trunk, this was at low speed in my neighborhood, no damage or issues occurred, however if this had happened at higher speeds, the front trunk lid could have caused loss of visibility if the lid had completely opened.

At under 3000 miles car started sputtering sporadically and stopped driving while in motion. We were able to get the car home. Tried to start the car back up and it violently surged. Car had no idea what gear it was in. Transmission service now light came on and car sent me an email stating to take it to the dealership. Had car towed to dealer and used tow company they requested me to use.. Dealer says valve body flooded and replaced it. Still not working correctly and dealer says transmission is being flooded. Gm engineers not sure why. Car has been at dealer over a month and have no clue when it can be fixed. When you shifted from park to reverse car would lunge violently like you threw the transmission into park while the car was moving down the street. Car is not safe to drive as it just started to have issues during regular use. Dealer has confirmed and recreated the problem. I was told if valve body didn’t fix it that gm would overnight a new transmission. Now I’m being told they want to continue to debug the issue and they have no clue on what the issue is or when it can be fixed. I’m out a vehicle I count on and am still paying for a car that I can’t have use of. Dealer is dodging my calls now. Here is my open case with Chevrolet asking about lemon law protections since it may be another month before I get my car back. [SR:9-7132169239 Car has under 3200 miles on it and is their flagship product.

At approximately 700 miles, my check engine light came on and the car produced an error message that said "Idle Creep Temporarily Disabled". Soon after that the car would lurch, buck on acceleration, and would only drive in even numbered gears. I felt the car was extremely dangerous and unpredictable to drive in this state since the car was unpredictably bucking and lurching forward and not shifting smoothly as usual. The dealer ran an OBDII poll and found five codes relating to transmission issues. GM has admitted to me that my vehicle is one of several that have "Assembly Debris" in the TREMEC supplied DCT. This "Assembly Debris" made the transmission filter completely black in appearance at 750 miles in addition to triggering the check engine light and dangerous driving behavior.
