Cruze transmission problem (Part 19)

A familiar story, a 2012 Holden Cruze, done 67,000 km, and a seized automatic transmission. I was driving one day, stopped at a set of lights, and the entire transmission seized. It is four months out of warranty. I am attempting to have Holden complete the repairs out of "good will". What are my chances? Seems unlikely that an automatic transmission would fail after such short time and such few km.

I would like to think you have a good chance of having the transmission replaced out of goodwill. The car is only just out of warranty, the failure is a well known one, I can’t think of any reason Holden should object to doing the repairs at its own expense.
