Transmission failure after 6k miles

My brother bought a 2020 enclave with 5,000 miles on it. Don't know how that qualifies as new vehicle but he bought it as new. After driving it for a month, my brother and I when to Los Angeles to pick up some family members. on our way back the transmission failed!! Could not drive at all! Very dangerous situation to happen on the freeway!! We were very lucky that we didn't get hit. I truck barely missed us we pulled over to the right. It's been a week in the dealership and the only update is that it's waiting for transmission replacement. Also, my brother called GM for a buy back due the horrible experience his family had. And the lady was really rude and literally yelling at him. Was up with that? I only buy America made cars but after this, not anymore.

My 2020 Buick Enclave now has 20,000 miles on it. It has been back to the selling dealer 3 times for oil changes only. I have not had any issues so far. I have not been real happy with the way the transmission (9 speed) shifts, but can live with it.

The 2021 Buick that I special ordered as front wheel drive took aprox 4 months to come from the factory in USA. This unit has corrected all the items I did not like about the 2020 Buick Enclaves programing ! The other Buick that I own is a 2019 Lacrosse 4dr. That is also a smooth driving unit.

Garage door transmitters didn't work properly when brand new. Driver's electronic information system failed on 4th day. Going to dealer for second time next week and expect more repair visits before fixes are made.
