2017 SS Lemon Law? NEED HELP

Hey everybody, earlier this year I gave up my 15 RS to move up to the big boy league. After months of searching and patience, I found a hell of a deal on a 2017 ss with 800 miles on the OD. I checked the car from head to toe, ran the VIN, gave it to chevy to run as well. nothing came back bad at all, no warranty claims nothing! Turns out previous owner couldn't make payments, and boom she was gone. so I pulled the trigger. Happy as hell!! I bought it from a popular dealer in my area, not chevy. I shit you not first day on the freeway headed home 8 miles from the dealer, the car dies. I get stuck on the side of the freeway for 3 hours, had it towed to chevy, because its still under factory warranty, turns out, the alternator died(in a brand new car). 3 days later I get it back. one day after getting it back, Im driving and I start to notice a knock coming from the transmission. ( see video/ my apologies for poor sound quality but it is still noticeable especially at 5 sec mark) knock happens when going over bumps, accelerating and occasionally stopping. At this point I have yet to hit the 1500 mile break in, so Im thinking it could be something that would go away. 1500 miles later and the noise is till there so I take it back to chevy, this time they tell me they cant figure it out, they will need it for a couple of days, so I tell them ill bring it back in 2 weeks. later that week I was detailing my car, upon detailing it I notice 2 deep scratches/ dents on both sides of the car and on both rocker panels, in the same spot. Im thinking what the hell!! I know i didn't scratch anything, I have babied it. My worst fears have come true, they didn't mount the car properly, those damn RATS!! but thats not it, the day after it leaves the chevy dealer , I notice a knock every time I turn on the AC. What the hell!!!! I fell like my damn car is falling apart, and I have not even made my first payment yet. So here I am amongst my fellow Camaro brethren. What do I do guys? I just contacted GM care and they told me I would receive a call from a specialist in California to help me fix every thing mentioned above^ I really want to begin my build and i have such high aspirations for this car. thank you all!!

Sorry to hear of your problems, it seems a lot of us are going through some sort of issue. But as far as the knocking, check this link out. Maybe the culprit.

That's unfortunate your car wasn't lifted properly.
