Bad transmission

My 2016 Chevy Silverado has had radio and transmission problems since we bought it. Has been back to dealer numerous times, they say it’s fine. Well now it’s in the driveway with a blown transmission. This is clearly a big problem in the 2016 Chevy trucks, wouldn’t recommend one to anyone.
