Sorry you are not off to a good start. I'm sure they will get you straightened out.

Did they say what was wrong with it? Is this an freak thing?
I'd ask or get an extended warranty. I'd be a little heated over this 😵‍💫

Said was less then a handful from introduction I question that but we’ll see.
Warranty is 5 years 100000 thousand still not a happy camper
 
Welcome aboard!! Don't' blame you at all for being upset, I would be too! At least they found the issue right away and can get a replacement pretty quick. Hopefully this will be the last issue you have with it.

Transmissions are a strange animal. The tolerances in them are incredibly sensitive and the smallest spec of dirt can destroy them.
Good luck and keep us updated I'm very interested in how this turns out. A handful sounds like dealership talk to me.
