GM is advising to have the valve body replaced. Obviously that part isn’t in stock anywhere in the entire country outside of the assembly line currently. So eta on a fix is god only knows when. Until then I get to drive around a POS 2017 CTS. Since I live in Georgia, my 30 day lemon law countdown started yesterday. Anyone have any luck dealing with Cadillac customer care directly?

Looking for any advice on the best way to proceed with an issue I am having with the CT4 V BW with only 1100 miles on it ( 32 days since purchase).
I've been very easy on the car over the month of ownership. No hard pulls or launching the car from a stop. And it's been a great car that I really enjoy driving.
Starting this morning (08/02/22) a check engine light appeared when I started up the car after sitting in my garage overnight. Found this very concerning and immediately took it in for service. No issues driving but I did baby it and made sure to stay under 3k rpm just in case.
The tech's notes state the following.
"1066 scanned a P0700 and P281D shift solenoid 2 circuit low that passed it's last test but the mil was on. Inspect wiring to the trans and all looked ok. Code states an electrical concerns exists not related to fluid level or condition. Clear the code and let the vehicle power down for 10 minutes with the fob removed per GM recommendations. Start vehicle and the code did not come back. Test drove the vehicle for 10 miles to simulate the conditions under which the DTC set. Re-scan after test drive and no codes came back. The fault is not current. There are no bulletins related to the code other than making sure the ignition is off for at least 10 minutes to properly clean the code. If the same code sets again, the vehicle will need to be dropped off for extensive transmission diagnosis. (Pan removal and internal trans component testing)"
I drove the car home without issue and without the check engine light coming back on. Parked car in garage for 6ish hours and went back out to go to the store to find the check engine light is back on.
This feels like a significant issue or am I making a mountain out of a mole hill? Is there any additional steps I should have them perform or look at? Did I buy a lemon
Please help.
