1800 miles and transmission needs replaced

I purchased a 2021 GMC Acadia SLT on December 30th 2020. On March 11th (70 days and 1800 miles into my ownership) the vehicle lurched forward and the check engine light came on. I'm being told by the dealer it is a stuck valve problem that GM is aware of and put out a paper on. The transmission needs replaced. Now nobody can answer whether I'll get a new or remanufactured transmission. I obviously am disgusted this would happen to a brand new vehicle. I would expect GM to put a new transmission in not remanufactured.

The ride is absolutely fantastic. The engine is wonderful too. I've had two previous vehicles that have had small turbo engines in them and hated them. So glad to have this V6! The interior is very spacious too. I love having all the knobs back too. My last car was one giant tablet screen and it was so frustrating flipping around while driving. I definitely made the right choice in this vehicle.

Bought 2021 acadia AT4 in September. Traded in my 2018 Sierra for a more practical family vehicle. I originally was looking for an SLE elevation edition, but ended up with an AT4 as supply was an issue. Was more money than I wanted to spend but I figured buying a top trim level vehicle would be nice for a change. Big mistake. Poor gas mileage....worse then my 5.3l v8 sierra. Rattling doors with music and bumpy roads, makes the upgraded bose stereo system not worth the extra cost. Buggy infotainment system constantly connects and disconnects between wife's phone and my phone.....sometimes volume stops working and everything needs to be restarted to function properly...power down phone, power down vehicle... Worst of all the black chrome trim has all flaked and peeled off every trim piece of the vehicle and has been in the process of warrenty coverage since November. Only to be replaced by more black chrome that will most definitly do the same thing. GM will not replace with black painted pieces instead.... its really bad, and started at 3 months of ownership and 7000km of very easy driving. The vehicle does drive nice, has lots of features but I don't see the value at all. Other gripes are for 55k should have leather...nope that's another 4k option. Also only the most premium option comes with the nice guage cluster. Mine is an AT4 with almost every option available except leather but I still get the basic guages. The push button shifters are.....different... The gear lockout or +/- are placed all the way over near the passenger seat which makes them pretty much useless. The sunroof rattles when open... The at4 is supposed to be more geared towards offroad but I still payed an extra $800 to put a leveling kit in it to lift the front end for some better ground clearance. Very low for an SUV crossover. I requested the factory tow package and have towed a small trailer a few times. The camera features are nice and I do like 👍. The cabin in pretty roomy and suits my needs. All in its okay.... I will probably get rid of it as soon as I am able to. Not horrible. Not great. Not worth 60k.
