Post Your C6 Problems Here
Is your C6 more in your dealers service department than your own garage?
Well post your problems here!! let everyone else know what problems or defects they should be concerned about when buying a new c6.

The title of the thread is pretty broad, but the poll is pretty narrow. You must be having a problem with your brakes. 
I had to have the shifter replaced and the radio replaced. Those are relatively minor problems, but don't appear in the poll.

Crank Pulley failure
Water leak in driver footwell
Outside temperature gauge works intermittently
Rear hatch doesn't close well
Rear hatch release button no longer works
Doors sometimes "unlock magically" when no fob present.
Cannot accelerate out of hard turns (false neutral)
Regardless, my car is fun as hell and I've learned to live with the "Non Lexus" build quality cuz Lexus doesn't build a 400 hp car....yet.

My C6 is problem free after 8 months and 10k miles A far cry from
my 2002 C5 What a pile of c4ap that was, colum lock, rocking seat,
burning oil, leaking top, poor headlight door motor and the list goes on
I feel sorry for the poor soul who owns one like that

None of the above.
My car has a bad seal around the driver's side door that generates some wind noise at speeds over 45 MPH, as well as a bad underhood light (might be just a bad bulb, but it has never worked).
Do you think I qualify for a Lemon Law buyback?
