I JUST watched this video: Read the caption at the bottom of the video as soon as it starts. "People will love this feature .....but if you use it it will void your warranty"

With regard to warranty treatment remember this. Any one person will experience 95% dealer and 5% manufacturer. Meaning the treatment they get is dictated by the dealer and it's good or bad people. The reality is that none of us knows how many people that have abused their vehicles and still received warranty work. So to sit here and slam any company over a couple of instances of denial is not fair. In those instances, we are probably only getting one side of the story. Regardless if a machine is advertised to race or not. Abuse is abuse. I think it's funny that the only people that I see complaining about warranty either flogged the crap out of it or modded it. I have yet to see "joe blow" that doesn't abuse it and has not modded it complain. Or maybe "joe" just hasn't spoken up yet. I have a continual problem with my wife's clutch sticking and my only complaint so far has been with the idiots that write the service ticket. |

"I have never seen so much disinformation in one single thread before. "
1) This is the internet. So that elevates us all to experts without validation. See your post for proof. 2) I am posting anecdotes and am learning from everyone's feedback. So far I have learned this issue is another corporate/customer dilemma. Caveat Emptor 3) Dealers do matter. Mine has no issues with us and takes care of us. Disappointed that my friend had no such luck even after elevating to Chevy. Such is life. I do not know how much fight he put up. 4) I appreciate everyone's feedback. It has been a good dialog. 5) Waiting for 2015/16 for used C7s to surface. Hope to see you at the Fest everyone.

It's up to the dealer.
My 2000 Camaro had the infamous "clutch stuck to floor" syndrome. Took it into the dealer, left it. Came back the next day, and they said there was nothing wrong with it. I had the service writer ride shotgun, and I rowed through the gears rapidly at WOT. At the end, the service writer was white as a ghost, and the pedal was stuck to the floor but engaged. He ended up putting on the ticket: "Unable to replicate. Owner operates car outside of design parameters." Seriously. Took it to another Chevy dealer and they fixed it. Clutch design was changed in 2001.

My guess is it must be clearly evident that the car is competitively tracked or this wouldn't be an issue. I'd like to hear the other side of this and OP don't take it personally as this isn't even your story, but there are always two sides.

If your dealer knows you test and tune, and improve your driving skills at "untimed" track day events, he'll look after you. Just don't compete, or "race" and everything is OK. ;-) Also careful of what you say, one wrong word and you are screwed...

This issue was discussed at the Fest and I will say people at the Chevy level were frustrated hearing dealers not working with owners over this warranty void concept as discussed in the thread. The individual who's story I described was given advise on how to elevate the problem to a higher level then he already had and the Chevy team was helpful with him. Until then...shop for a good dealer. Good luck drivers.
