GM Can't do much about the dealership, but they will stand behind the car. Take it to a local dealer and they will get paid to fix it under warranty. I wouldn't use that dealership again if it were me. Was it that way when they left the dealership?

I seen one driving around last weekend, it looked sweet!

Back to the OP, GM will make it right...sooner or later.

Love the C7; but the new car bugs seems to very high on this car even for a first model year vehicle. Check the other Corvette forum and it's a problem reported by others.

What C7 Forum are you referring to in your post. Thanks

I remember when I first started reading the ZL1 threads and it was the same kinda stuff. Some folks had nightmare problems with their brand spankin new ZL1s. From the supercharger to the diff, tons and tons of problems. Then you have the majority whom have had absolutely no problems whatsoever. The point is ALL were usually sorted out quickly and for the most part corrected. I can only remember of one ZL1 owner on this forum who had sooo many problems he just walked away from the car and said never again.

I'm sure this is an easy fix, probably a re-boot or something simple like that, so let's hear the exciting stuff; what color, model, options, and what color interior!??? The Stingray is Gorgeous! I'm thinking about getting either the Gray or White! Love to see some pics!

I got my white z51 5 weeks ago. Going to pick it up from American Racing Headers tomorrow after them having it for a month. Good timing too since the Camaro has blown up again.

They'll fix it B. Don't sweat the small stuff.

Love the Article White! What interior, if I get white I think I may go with the Adrenaline Red interior. If I get Cyber gray, love the Kalahari interior! You blew up the Camaro??? What does that mean?

Dyno or strip. Not sure. It was going 9.80 and shooting for 9.50

Perhaps it passed PDI just fine, and the issue cropped up while the salesman was driving to meet your wife. That's a very real possibility.

Coming from the dealer world myself, I can tell you that this scenario isn't uncommon. Sometimes it's as simple as a loose grounding bolt. They'll check out fine during the PDI, then a little jostling on the road works things loose. Everything is fixable.
