There are about 1500 GT-R in the USA now (delivered and in customer hands), with volume deliveries starting in August. People started throwing out BS stats like "30+ bad trannies" and "5 bad trannies just in my area," etc. These claims started flying around about a month ago.

If true, we should be hearing about multiple additional failures each week, right?

No new cases reported in a long time (and only handful of truly documented cases to begin with).

What conclusion do you draw? And based on what facts?
What we know is that LC is being deleted from the upcoming models. Obviously the transmission problem is allot more widespread that what you make it seem. By deleting this feature Nissan will effectively spend millions of dollars.

There are also instances where the owner didnt even Launce the car for the transmission to break.
