My 2015 was delivered to the dealership Friday AM and is currently just waiting word from GM as to what repairs / inspections need to be done.

Anyone else stuck in that situation?

When is GM going to give us a timeline?

Good luck!

There appears to be two possible problems, neither of which are really serious issues.

The first being reported involves how the drivers side airbag is attached to the steering wheel. The second involves about 800 cars and how the rear parking brake cable was installed. They may have been installed incorrectly.

This "stop sell" usually results in a recall being issued but GM is still looking at the problems. Hopefully they will deal with this issue quickly and efficiently.

This is what's being reported so hopefully its accurate!

Tell us? Probably never. They've already made their public announcement. Communication from this point will be with the dealers.

There are 2 concerns:
1.) Driver air bag module
2.) Park brake cable not connected

This is a safety and quality control concern. Dealerships with 2015 Corvettes in stock will receive replacement parts as soon as they are available. It's great that Chevy is catching/correcting this before anyone gets behind the wheel.

Can anyone (hopefully a dealer) confirm if the stop sale applies to ALL 2015s or only those on the rangenof VIN #s identified as impacted?

There are a couple of posts on this with the VIN's listed. It's not all of them and it's not a range.

Well, at least you wont end up like these 19 people : http://money.cnn.com/2014/09/14/news...erg/index.html

It seems like GM just cannot catch a break.

^^^ This. Why is that so hard to understand?

Again.. I beg of other potential owners to buy something else so there will be less of my beautiful C7s on the road. Every time I see one rolling past me when I'm in mine I cringe.. because I loved be one the first to have one in my area.

"Some" 2015 Corvettes are affected by this recall. There is a VIN list (approx. 700 vehicles) that are part of the recall.

I'll tell you why it's so hard to understand...

Is it going to take a week? Is it going to take a month? NO ONE KNOWS.

Communication is key and we know that GM likes to keep the secrets to themselves.

I know there's a member on here that has already shelled out $85k and they can't touch their car.

Less? At the end of this model year there will be some 60-70k C7's out there.

Nate@VanBortelChevy

It would be impossible to determine exactly how long it will take, or even guess at how long it will take at this point.

There is a procedure that HAS to take place when a recall is issued. This procedure is not controlled by Chevrolet, or any manufacturer. When a safety concern is detected, the manufacture has to notify the NHTSA prior to investigating the cause of defect or developing a remedy.

The defect has to be investigated.

A remedy has to be developed.

The faulty component has to be reproduced.

Replacement parts (when available) will ship out to the dealers.


It is rather unfortunate that this has occurred, but again, it's best to catch it before people get behind the wheel.

I don't think it will take as long as some of the other recalls affecting other vehicles as this only affects hundreds of vehicles (not hundreds of thousands).

My car is one of them, sitting on the lot at BG. Thought delivery might be this week--NOT.

Nate@VanBortelChevy

We have a customer that had a museum delivery scheduled this week, the museum called to tell him they will have to reschedule at a later date.

The MAy 2014 Low Beam C6 recall still does not have parts..I would't hold my breath

Zymurgy

The current C7 situation is totally different than the C6 low beam issue. The C6 requires a new shunt to be developed, manufactured and distributed. The C7 issue seems to be limited to a relatively small number of vehicles and it does not appear that any new parts need to be designed, etc.

Which posts/threads?

So just to be 100% crystal clear, you're saying that if a car is not one of those ~700 VINs identified, the stop sale does not apply and the c7 can be delivered?

I ask because my car was built at the end of last week and my VIN is not on that list of ones identified.

VG

I'm on the list. My car was suppose to be delivered at the museum on Wednesday. I sent my check to my dealer so I own it now. I got the email that my delivery will be rescheduled someday.

They are delivering cars at the museum today.

As I understand it, cars that are being produced now have the fixes.
What that means is they are getting new parts but are using them to keep the line going.

Basically the ones on the list, like me, are just lost until GM addresses the issue.

I waited a year to order my Corvette. Then it took a while to get an allocation. Then my TPW was changed three times.
Now this.
I will buy GM products again, but this will be the last one that I order.

What do I think GM should do? Stop the line and put your people on fixing the cars and then restart the line.
