You alls response is the reason why gm will continue to put cheap crap in these cars, cause they know u will just deal with it. Wow, how dare we expect reliable parts.

IMO a problem like this might warrant a new dealer, especially if you purchased your 3 vette's through said dealer. The best dealer I ever had was a ford dealer which while fixing my Mustang GT (Purchased in a different state) did extensive work under warranty to fix a small rattle in the drive train, then said "oh by the way I noticed a slight squeek from your shifter boot while testing the car so I ordered you a new one free of charge". That service manager gets my repeat business any day.

And thats ok as I have nothing to prove .
Just sit in my 08 Z06 and if the creeks, rattles, goarns and moans dont kill you the service department and their lack of giving a shi* is will. I love my C6Z just as much as anyone , heck I loved my C5Z but I was shocked on how ****** the quality of these cars were . Just astonished. Have you sat in a Ford lately ? 100% better

I'm in the same boat. Such a nice looking car with the performance to back up the looks but when I sit in there I feel like I'm sitting in an old 02 Grand Prix.
The 2013 Viper finally figured out it was a supercar and gave it supercar worthy interior. I guess the Corvette hasn't quite reached that level. I feel for the ZR1 owners.

Lots of interesting comments here. I have owned Corvettes since 1975. Have owned a 62 as well. Past NCRS member. Six new Corvettes. Tired of hearing ther top creek and fighting the top to get it in the back end. Poor NAV. Just cheap interior overall. So, as many of you on here have suggested, I got rid of the 2009 C6 and traded it for a new BMW Z4. There is alot of competition out there and more on the way. I had a BMW Z3 for 7 years and can say that my BMW dealer is head and shoulders above any of the Chevrolet dealers I have dealt with. Have a good evening.

Wait just a minute here - is someone suggesting that the Corvette isn't PERFECT ????? I thought it was right up there near the top of the list of PERFECT THINGS you buy that starts with . . . . .

I certainly do not participate on any forums of cars I owned in the past. Very strange he would bring up BMW since of all the car companies is known as one of the worst. They have had major quality issues in the last few years.
