I think sometimes it is easy to forget that 40k is what many small businesses earn in a year. This is not a trivial investment in any company. We consumers should demand that for the money comes the piece of mind that we received a product worthy of the purchase price ( however we choose to judge it ).

I do think GM’s drivetrain warranty is a good one, better than many competitors. I found issue with your comments ( which were in response to another’s posters desire to understand the real issue ) that we consumers are not really owed anything more than a product with a given period warranty.

I just disagree with that sentiment. Today any vehicle where the drivetrain does not last substantially longer than 100k ( with proper maintenance ) is a sub-industry drivetrain. Regardless if repairs are made under warranty.

That we have enough failures to warrant conversation on a vehicle that is a couple months old indicates issues.

GM should come forward and disclose the problem/solution so someone much more knowledgeable than myself can confirm that yes this should take care of present and future issues. Consumer piece of mind.

Otherwise you are left with their word that everything is rosy which BTW is what we believed in the first place.
