Poor GM
 

Ibtm

See you all on the other side.

Been on the Corvette forum and there's a lot of issues with the C7. Great car performance wise but I wouldn't touch it till the 2016 model year at the earliest, so GM can get a majority of the issues sorted out.

Huh...no mention of Car & Driver's loaner Vette blowing the motor up with 6000 miles on the clock

I've owned three Corvettes, I love those cars.

I wanted a new Stingray. But the 370z was way cheaper. I could have bought a pair of 370z's for what I would have spent on a Stingray. Plus I like to modify things, and the 370z is great for that. Or maybe I'm just getting older.

Usually as you get older you like to keep your cars hellastock, LOLLLL

GM requiring dealers to stop sales/deliveries of affected models.
The two issues are that for some cars, are that the airbag could become detached from the steering wheel in a crash event and, second, regarding parking brakes not working properly because one of the parking brake cables was not installed properly.

No parts for the airbags yet.

Glad it is caught at this early stage and GM taking the responsible step of halting sales. Managing bad publicity at work and protecting the brand.

This is why you never buy cars on there first year of release.

Guy I work with, ordered a '15 vette the first of this month. I've been sticking it to him over the problems with the vette. Now he is starting to crack with this latest news. :bowrofl:

You are not getting older, you are getting smarter.

Please pay attention where you put NON 370Z related threads to avoid having them moved.

Thank You..

Definitely a shame! I haven't been following the C7 closely, because I can't afford one, but I sure thought they were the car to have. I had only seen positive reviews, stating near supercar quality, etc.

We are here.

We made it, buddy.

:iagree: In my earlier post I mentioned the model year 2016 Vette which would actual be it's 3rd model year. Just read about too many issues with this car at this time. I'm sure GM will get most of it sorted out but it will take them more than 1 year to do so.

Fixed for you :tiphat:

Sorry to disappoint but it blew brother

A GM with major problems right off the assembly line???

The devil, you say! :icon18:

There was also a radiator hose failure during one of the first magazine tests -- can't recall which one.

Oh no, the sky is falling! Common quote over in the Corvette forum when people freak out over something small. Ok, so the recall has to do with the airbags and the parking brake cable.... not that big of a deal if you ask me... thought I read it only affected 2800 vehicles?

And about C&D engine failure... not confirmed but it may have been a fault within the oil filter itself that caused pieces of metal to basically grenade the engine. I spend more time in that forum than I do here, and I can tell you that engine failures are pretty rare. I think out of 31k C7's sold, there was like .04% engine failure rate so far, all of which were taken care by warranty. Not trying to defend Chevy, but I think some people are overreacting.

*Ok, I guess I may be trying to defend Chevy because I am think about getting a C7 next year!

I think the current leadership at Chevy is trying to gain a flagship image so they are being proactive about the recall. Their estimates for lawsuits seem a little on the low side however.

:iagree: with what he said.
After the ignition switch debacle, they are getting extremely gun shy. One little thing goes wrong and they want to make sure they fix it before media shoves it in their face. Not a bad thing for consumers.

My daughters car is recalled, but they don't have parts to fix it yet. GM is going to be fixing ignition switches for years.

I would love to have been sitting in on the meeting to stop shipment of vettes.

I think that is what I said

With 60% of Stingrays ordered with automatics and the new in-house built 8-speed auto going in 2015 models I expect to hear of plenty of issues with 2015 models as well.
