Techs love working on them, they are easy to work on... A good tech will have it sorted out quick on cause, warranty or not, best way to repair...

I think many situations turn out fine if working with a real good dealer and tech. Have faith, let them do what they do, don't go to battle positions and defcon 1 unless things really go screwy.
That is the best advise right there.

Last year I took a 2013 427 Corvette Convert to the Drag Strip and on the 3rd pass the Clutch Pedal stuck to the floor. Pushed it into the Trailer and brought strait to my dealer on Monday in the Trailer. Explain what and where it happened and on Wednesday I picked the Car up no questions asked and no charge. I asked the Service Manager if I could take it back to the strip. He said sure there is 2 more years of warranty on it.

I know it wasn't a motor issue but still they stood right behind it.

The Vette was running 12.3's @ 118 MPH. A little slow for me. I actually looked down at the Tach to see if it was running. After driving a 6.7 car for a few years I felt like I had enough time between gear changes to make sandwich.

I would be very interested in the follow up by GM.
