Default trans blew up

Hey guys,I was just wondering how many people on here have had trans problems on their 07+new body style trucks.Mine blew up at 15,000 miles.It basically wouldnt shift out of second gear.It started out just doing it when cold but over about a week got to where it wouldnt go past 2nd at all.Mine was covered of course just was wondering if theres any more of these problems out there.

The rear stator support bushing failed, scoring the input shaft and sealing rings and eventually burning the 3-4 clutches. It's a common problem.
