Motor leaks are unusual. Have it checked by your dealer.
You hatch problem is unusual. Does the hatch fall back, or is it just too hard to open?
Key fobs are susceptible to electronic interference from other fobs, keys, cellphones and chargers. Sometimes something as simple as moving the fob to another pocket helps.
I apologize for the group lunacy here. Most just got back from active duty in Iraq, or maybe Detroit, and remain quite jumpy.

One Perfect Corvette!
My VR Vert Z51 MN6 was delivered to me two weeks ago today at a local dealership near Denver in the great state of Colorado. It has 2,000 miles on it now and I do have one MAJOR concern: How do I get this GRIN off my face??

Yeah, lets see, I buy a $50K+ car, drive it for 1500 miles while it literally falls apart in my driveway and instead of taking it in, I get on the internet and ask if "anyone else have these problems?" Sorry, don't buy it.

I agree 100% and where has he gone? One and done??

No problems, zero, 3050 miles. Putting to many miles on the thing though. It's so easy to. Great gas mileage that almost makes it an economy car inmo.

Hey guys and gals, it could be he just bought one of those shelby pig things and now has buyer remorse and is just trying to make himself feel good.
Ordered mine in March took Delivery in April and have had ZERO problems, also not a NCM delivery.

I confess I'm a C6 wannabe. I've only had my C4 for three months and I am already a vette addict. I don't care if I read that the wheels are falling off I'm going to get a C6 vert in the next 12 months.
Got to finish this damn '68 Camaro frame off restoration first.

My 06' has been at the dealer longer than i've owned it....
1) popping roof (adjusted)
2) ash tray door falls down (replaced)
3) popping roof again (adjusted)
4) passenger side window moulding is loose.... (replaced)
5) dealer broke my wiper cowl int he process of replacing the window moulding... (replaced)
6) roof is still frekin popping (sry sir... adjusted)
7) driver side door rubs on driver side fender when opened (door adjusted/free touch up paint)
8) driver side door no longer closes right... very rough compared to passenger side (adjusted again)
9) driver side door now took a quarter sized chunk out of my fender when openeing the door...(dealer brought my vette to a body shop for repair... then adjusted door)
10) every freakn time i get the car back my Titanium leather is covered in nasty grease...(cleaned thouroughly after my screaming at the service manager..)
I would have to agree, the problems do upset you when you consider the money your are spending.... if it happened to you, i am sure your opinions would be different.... my $2,500 Subaru L has less problems and takes regular gas
