Transmission Solenoid Problems of Chevrolet Sonic

After only owning the 2012 Sonic for less than 4 months and having only @ 3,700 miles on it, I have a problem with the transmission. I pulled out of my work driveway, and the engine was racing in drive but going nowhere. It was moving forward very slowly and not shifting. I eventually was able to get almost off the road, but my back end was sticking out into a major thoroughfare because it completely quit going forward . I put the car in park and back into drive to try to get it to move forward again. At that point, whether in drive, neutral, m1, etc, it was in reverse, so essentially the car ended up being even further sticking out in the busy road. I had to wait for a quick break in traffic and drive it in reverse the wrong way into a parking lot to get towed. Dealership replaced solenoid pack but was not the problem. They tore transmission down and found it was a torn belt on the clutch fan, so they think. As of today, still fighting with general motors for a new transmission. They just want to fix it and extend warranty. I think that's unacceptable for a car with 3,700 miles on it . It's a shame gm won't stand up to their product. Starting to feel this car was not a safe choice. Seems to be a lot of complaints on the power train, especially shifting issues.
