Shift Solenoid Issue

So about 3-4 months ago I had shift solenoid B go bad in my transmission. Today I had shift solenoid A go bad. Apparently when they replaced solenoid A they did B as well b/c its all under warranty. Seems kinda strange to me that said solenoids would be going bad if they are brand new as my trans guy stated. Either way he is going to have to replace again at his cost. Any one have insite as to what could be making them malfunction. I just find it weird that two new solenoids could have gotten "wet" with less then 2K miles on em.

stock tuning? Not sure why your shift solenoids would go bad. I was throwing a shift solenoid code at one time, forget which one though. I just turned the code off and haven't had an issue since.

well i rescanned the car, saved my data, and erased the code and reset the computer. I drove it for 20 miles and it was fine.....So we will see

what code are you getting? I think mine was a shift solenoid 2 code that's fairly common with stalls. I just turned it off and haven't had any issues since. I think I did that this spring.
