Default Does C6 correct C5 problems?

My 02 had the typical C5 problems; clutch stays on floor, fuel gauge suddenly goes to empty, doorlock module malfunction, steering column lock malfunction. Has GM corrected these in the C6? Are there new gremlins in the C6?

Yes. See any one of a dozen threads in this section of the forum. A good place to start is with the sticky FAQ.

It's way to early to tell what C5 problems have been corrected or to see what new problems come with the C6.

I've solved that fuel sensor problem by adding TECHRON to the gas.

They fixed the problem with sticking pop-up headlamps.

Thanks for the tip to check the FAQ-lots of good stuff there. Also the tip on using Techron and fixing the pop-up headlights.
As for the rest of the sarcastic responses-I have a life and don't spend all day on this site so may not be aware of all previous topics-if my questions irritate you-DON'T OPEN THE POST
