Interesting Note

I just thought it is interesting to note that this forum has never received a response from Tadge regarding the thread topic related to the C7 "Warble" problem. This particular thread is of keen interest to many forum members as evidenced by the large number of posts and views to this thread. Looking at many other threads on this forum that have received as much interest as this thread have been met by responses by Tadge. One can infer that the moderator or Tadge do not wish to address this topic of keen interest to the forum. Why?

Your statement is not quite accurate. Tadge addressed the wheel bending issues (cracking falls under the same category of “problems with wheels”) in this thread:

I believe the Warble issue was also already figured out to be a differential issue and it was disucussed in the Ask Tadge section. Please see posts 31 and 34 in this thread: https://www.corvetteforum.com/forums...e-noise-2.html

Why has this topic never been formally addressed by Tadge? I don't think this topic has gone away with C7 Corvette owners and will continue to be a concern for many owners.

A manufacturing defect? If people are having the warble and can’t get their diff replaced when they are under a proper warranty then thats a different issue entirely..

If replacement of the differential is the solution, is GM now providing replacements to all C7s with this problem, or just those under warranty? It sure would provide clarity to the many who have to live with this issue. You think having Tadge address this topic is asking too much from the many loyal C7 owners? Are you the gatekeeper here?

Your question potentially ties into a very costly answer from GM. If we approach them as though we are expecting a “recall” from GM, that would cost millions of dollars for them. Lets be fair and look at both sides of the spectrum; Does the “Warble” cause any issues other than “I don’t like that sound”? If the answer is yes, then maybe a recall from GM makes sense. If the answer is no, then I can’t imagine it to be able to be justified to spend millions to fix a sound when nothing is mechanically “broken” preventing you from driving the car from point A to B.

Tadge obviously has boundaries on what he can and cannot say in addressing any questions posed to him as a GM employee. I think most of us can appreciate and understand that.

Of that I have no doubt. One doesn't reach the level within such an organization as GM without being cognizant of the required image and demeanor of that position. Still, if modern times has shown us anything, twitter storms make for bad press........
