I was supposed to pick up my 2012 Ashen Gray ZL1 at my dealership today at 5pm after PDI. As part of the PDI, a technician who I respect, took the car for a short test drive to make sure everything was perfect. I got a call from my service manager saying that the rear end is bad and whining distinctively at low speeds. They have ordered a whole new rear end to be Fed-exed tomorrow and hopefully installed by tomorrow night.

Of course I am really upset and want to get your opinions on what this really means since I am not a technician. Will the car be the same after a complete rear end replacement? Does this mean I have received a lemon? Was this an assembly line error or was it just a defective major part? By the way, it sat in QC for 4 weeks with the others.
