[ASKED] 2017 upgrades for 2015&2016 model years
 
Tadge we need a status on upgrades for 2015&2016 model year C7's.
Supercharger upgrades; tilted internal heat ex-changers and larger supercharger lid.
Auxiliary radiator for manual transmission cars.
Transmission cooling upgrades for automatic transmission Z06's
Coolant temp as a pocket gauge in sport mode.
2017 PDR display upgrade.
Will they be available and if so when?

Id vote for a general update on status of any items still in the works and those that never will be.

Missing from the list: Secondary A8 transmission cooler kit for 2015 Z51

Possibly remove from the list: PDR update. A software upgrade was just released this month. Has anyone had it installed to see what it includes?

The only thing it says it addresses is the timing issue with the lap timer and from what I can see the system reacts better to showing details when driving in shadows from trees, etc.

Pocket gauges are in sport mode, not tour mode.

Especially the A8 trans upgrade for 2015 Z51
Promised Dec 2015, never delivered.

All customer complaints cancelled without explanation from GM.

I think that is you have your answer; they have decided to do nothing. Just as they have done nothing about issues in the past, like the LS7's busting off valve heads and chewing up motors, or the Z06 overheating issues.

I believe that If they were going to offer the cooling upgrade as a dealer installed retrofit kit, they would of done it already.

My guess is that the cost to do so would be significant; and even if they offered the kit as "for purchase" track upgrade, the lawyers would likely oppose it as it could open the door to a class action as a known defect for all 2015 auto's.

Just my thoughts.

+1, will GM be offering a program for 2015/2016 Z06s to upgrade to 2017 cooling or not

Jrider 03-07-2017 05:45 PM

Walks like a duck..
 
Yes, your comments are most likely the case. Tadge shouldn't have opened his mouth and probably got told that. The fact that every person on this forum that filed a complaint have been told NO with no explanation and even been told to not bring it up again. My experience exactly. Every request to escalate, denied. Every request for explanation, denied. They proactively just closed the case several times with no explanation in the case log- just closed it. I kept reopening it, they kept closing it.

Another vote for asking this!

What case log do you speak of? Is there a system where customers can open requests?

btwicked 03-13-2017 12:32 AM

+1 for this one. We need this answered!

Jay_Davis 03-13-2017 06:53 PM

The question as listed doesn't show the non-Z06 A8 transmission cooloing.

Also, I think we got the PDR update, but no one has posted yet if it contains the 2 second fix (or any other changes it might have).
