Apple initiated the repair program back in February and many were skeptical at the time that the faulty parts would be replaced with the same faulty parts.
8 months later, curious if those that have done the replacement have experienced the issue again or if Apple really did fix the part that has been causing the problems?
 
I've read comments that replacement logic boards have also failed, although I'm thinking most of those comments were dated prior to the replacement program.
 
Had mine replaced before the replacement program but they refunded me the money from the repair. I haven't had an issue with it since last year when it was replaced. But then again, it took 3 years before I saw any signs of the Gfx card acting weird.

Since Apple does not manufacture the part, they can't really go and fix it.

The part is being replaced by the same faulty part. It's a design problem from ATI.
