Help! 2012 ls3

[Flying C6-R]

I am at a loss. I bought a new 2012 Centennial Grand Sport.... It has been in the shop 3 times within my first month owning it! (side note: the dealership has been terrific) i have an abnormal squealing at first start up. It lasts about 5 minutes. At first it was a water pump leaking. So they replaced it, then it was still there. So the second time they replaced the belts and after a few days it returned. The last time they replaced the the main pulley and belts. It went away for a few days and returned. I am at a loss... I went back to dealer and we started up 3 other new vettes and none of them had same noise. Again the dealer and service manager has been excellent (Actually best dealer experience I have ever received, ever), so I know they are trying to help but what can I do? Have anyone else have or had a similar experience? I love the options and the Centennial edition.... But lost all confidence that this one has poor build quality! Love to hear any feed back
Thank you

I think this qualifies under Georgia's Lemon Laws.
Section 10-1-784(b)(3)

(b) A reasonable number of attempts shall be presumed as a matter of law to have been undertaken by the manufacturer, its agent, or the new motor vehicle dealer to repair or correct any nonconformity of a new motor vehicle, if:

(1) a serious safety defect in the braking or steering system has been subject to repair at least once during the lemon law rights period and has not been corrected;
(2) during any period of 24 months or less, or during any period in which the vehicle has been driven 24,000 miles or less, whichever occurs first, any other serious safety defect has been subject to repair two or more times, at least one of which is during the lemon law rights period, and the nonconformity continues to exist;
(3) during any period of 24 months or less or during any period in which the vehicle has been driven 24,000 miles or less, whichever occurs first, the same nonconformity has been subject to repair, three or more times, at least one of which is during the lemon law rights period, and the nonconformity continues to exist; or
(4) during any period of 24 months or less or during any period in which the vehicle has been driven 24,000 miles or less, whichever occurs first, the vehicle is out of service by reason of repair of one or more nonconformities for a cumulative total of 30 calendar days, at least 15 of them during the lemon law rights period. If less than 15 days remain under the lemon law rights period when the new motor vehicle is first brought in for diagnosis or repair, the lemon law rights period as regards the problem to be diagnosed or repaired shall be extended for a period of 90 days.​
