I took a picture and sent it to him that day along with the rear strip issue. Now the local dealer says they can't help with that and the selling dealer wants me to bring it by so the service manager can look at it. That means that with the time stamped picture that shows May 10th i will still have to drive 280 miles back and forth from the selling dealer to get this taken care of. What a pain in the a,,. Now the A8 shutter has now started, very annoying. Will they tow it due to the shutter.
I traded in my Challenger Hellcat for the SS. I bought a 2008 Challenger SRT the first year they came out and traded it for the 2017 Hellcat. I was at the dealer with my Challengers one time in 10 years for the airbag recall. That's it, one time in 10 years. It may be time to go shopping. Three problems with the GM in 6 months and all 3 are a pain to deal with. The A8 fix will not be out till the first quarter of 2019. REALLY!!!

Your local dealer should do the A8 warranty work. I bought my 16 A8 from Becky (out of state) and it was no problem getting it corrected locally.
I had three issues with my 16 2SS that similarly frustrated me. The A8, headliner replacement and parasitic battery drain. My 04 GTO was only at the dealer once in +11 years for the gas cap recall. (I did all other maintenance work myself)
The headline was replaced, I took the aftermarket LED marker lights off and the battery drain stopped. The A8 was fixed with a new TC but I lost confidence in the transmission long term and traded it for this manual. My fingers are crossed for a repeat of the GTO’s great ownership experience.
