On the surface, one would think that 3 years should have been enough time to develop a reliable fix, but unfortunately "should have been enough" doesn't constitute a guarantee that it really was enough.
Dare I suggest that arbitrary mandates (i.e. that 55 equivalent mpg fleet average matter) can have the effect of bringing techniques to market before they're fully ready for prime time?

I believe GM knows full well how to repair (fix) the problem permanently but is limited due to regulatory, legal and actual expense. All really add to expense....it will be cheaper to not admit and correct the issue, bandaid the current transmissions and upgrade transmissions in future models. At the very least they know root cause of the A8 issues.
There are already aftermarket companies offering AFM delete, and TCM tuning along with upgraded torque converters built based on your Camaro requirements.
