Default Finally Hit Event Code 3400 (Again)!

What could be worse than the wait at event code 3400 - how about doing it twice? My first order at the very end of June (allocated in early July) turned out to have been placed wrong by the dealer and I caught it during a routine status check with the dealership. OK, bummer, but at least I didn't have to show up with cash in hand only to find out it wasn't the Vette I ordered. Luckily, my dealer had another allocation already scheduled and I was given it and the order modified. I only lost about three weeks.

Will there be any permanent psychological damage from this awful trauma? Will I suffer flashbacks and night sweats only to be doomed forevermore to a life of vette semi-smile?

Nawwww - I got over it cuz a new vette just does that for ya. - Of course the wait sure ain't pretty - twice! LESSON: Stay on top of your orders, including verifying all your options/colors.

That should be done the very first day the order goes in.

You are so right! Actually, I did verify the order verbally, but didn't actually see the GM Distribution screen image. That's why I wanted to share this lesson.

My dealer forgot to send my order in to GM, I found out six weeks later after I called to check the order status.
