Picked mine up from dealer yesterday. After 2weeks. My paperwork is at home and I will post the details later but the general rundown:
Transmission pulled and out on bench. When taken apart they discovered that a bushing (I have to look at report to get name which bushing) had been installed backwards in the factory. That cause it to block a certain pathway / flow for transmission fluid under some conditions. Result being restricted cooling and lubrication which resulted in hot spotting and premature wear on multiple Internal transmission parts (again specifics are in the write up I just don’t have it with me). All damaged items replaced and transmission re-assembled correctly and a flush and something else then bench tested the installed and road tested.
No symptoms now. About $5k in work (all covered under warranty). Seems better than new.
Yikes. Assembled wrong from the factory? Uggh. Apparently quality is not job 1. Probably was the Friday afternoon shift before a 3 day weekend. Just bad luck. I dunno. Weird
