That is not remotely close to this problem.

I would say you are very lucky. The GTR issues were due to overheating and them never testing the launch control limit. There was no warning about lanuching your car and it was even recommened to use to save the tranny from abuse when at the track. Nissian ended up limiting the number of lanuches you can do in the next year model.
Here another example of a pretty recent car as well. I choose recent cars as you would think in this day and age we would have no problems but it certainly is not true.
09 Camaro

Or better yet here the brand new 2013 Ford Escape with 3 recalls already.

The 2011 Mustang GT (1st gen) also had massive issues as well
Its just that when you look at the data. A brand new car is exactly that brand new. You can do all the testing you want but you won't find out how good the car is until the mass market gets their hand on it. They even did a report about it in Canada here
